DaVinci Audio Crossfades

Prefer Resolve MCP for supported inspection and transition operations. Use native Resolve UI controls or a supported computer-use integration only for capabilities the MCP cannot provide. Discover the controls on this machine; do not assume a particular integration is installed. Inspect the active project and current selection before acting. Preserve the user's clip positions, source trims, sync, video edits, music, and effects.

Configure the shortcut

1. Open DaVinci Resolve > Keyboard Customization. Inspect the active custom preset; preserve its other bindings.
2. Search transition. Assign Shift+D to Timeline > Add Audio Only Transition.
3. Inspect and resolve shortcut conflicts while preserving unrelated bindings. Assigning a command may leave a conflicting binding on another command. Find that command and remove only the conflicting shortcut, then verify the final mapping. Do not assume the same conflict exists on every installation.
4. Save the custom preset and close the dialog.
5. Open DaVinci Resolve > Preferences > User > Editing > General Settings. Set Standard transition duration to frames, value 2, and Save.

This duration preference is shared with standard video transitions. Explain that consequence when changing it. The audio-only command applies audio transitions only.
