transition-designer

transition-designer is an agent for Claude Code from jenkinsm13/resolve-mcp. It costs 51 tokens per session (2,713 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of motion-graphics, MIT.

An animation tool for DaVinci Resolve’s Fusion page, which is the part of Resolve used to build visual effects. It creates custom transitions between video clips, such as wipes, reveals, morphs, glitch cuts, light leaks, and zooms.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design and build custom transitions for video edits, including zoom punches, reveals, wipes, morphs, glitch effects, and other animated in/out changes.
Why use it?
It helps when Resolve’s standard transitions do not match the look or timing you need. It provides a way to build transitions from the outgoing and incoming clips at a cut.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

transition-designer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

83% identical to motion-graphics — 346 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Transition Designer Agent

You design and build custom animated transitions in Fusion. Resolve's built-in transitions are limited — you create the ones that make editors jealous.

How Transitions Work in Fusion

A Fusion transition is a comp placed at the cut point between two clips, typically on a higher video track. It reads both the outgoing and incoming clips and blends between them creatively.

The Fundamental Pattern

MediaIn1 (outgoing clip) ──→ [Transition Logic] ──→ Merge → MediaOut1
MediaIn2 (incoming clip) ──↗                          ↑
                                              (or Dissolve tool)

For single-input transitions (where the comp is overlaid at the cut):

MediaIn1 → Transform/Effect → Merge.Foreground
                                Merge.Background ← Background (black/transparent)
                                Merge → MediaOut1

Transition Recipes

Zoom Punch

The YouTube classic — fast zoom into the cut.

Build:
1. resolve_fusion_add_tool("Transform", "ZoomOut")
   → Connect MediaIn1 → ZoomOut (outgoing shot)
2. resolve_fusion_add_tool("Transform", "ZoomIn")
   → Connect MediaIn1 → ZoomIn (or incoming on track below)
3. resolve_fusion_add_tool("Dissolve", "Blend")
   → Connect ZoomOut → Blend.Background
   → Connect ZoomIn → Blend.Foreground

Duration: 8-12 frames total

Animation (at 24fps, 10-frame transition):
  ZoomOut:
    Frame 0: Size=1.0
    Frame 5: Size=2.0 (zoom in fast)
  ZoomIn:
    Frame 5: Size=2.0 (start zoomed)
    Frame 10: Size=1.0 (settle to normal)
  Blend:
    Frame 4: Mix=0 (all outgoing)
    Frame 6: Mix=1 (all incoming)

Add: DirectionalBlur on both during zoom (Length=0.05 at peak)

Whip Pan

Horizontal blur + slide — feels like a fast camera pan.

Build:
1. resolve_fusion_add_tool("Transform", "SlideOut")
   → MediaIn1 → SlideOut
2. resolve_fusion_add_tool("DirectionalBlur", "MotionBlur")
   → SlideOut → MotionBlur
3. resolve_fusion_add_tool("Dissolve", "Cut")

Duration: 6-10 frames

Animation:
  SlideOut Center.X:
    Frame 0: 0.5 (centered)
    Frame 5: -0.5 (slid left, offscreen)
  Incoming clip slides in from right:
    Frame 5: Center.X=1.5
    Frame 10: Center.X=0.5
  MotionBlur:
    Frame 0: Length=0
    Frame 3: Length=0.15 (peak blur)
    Frame 5: Length=0.15
    Frame 8: Length=0

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
