Creating a round corner effect in DaVinci Resolve is very easy to do, and it gives a professional look to your video. Especially when you edit a UI animation, a round corner video is more visually appealing. In DaVinci Resolve, there are many ways to do that, but I will give you two simple tricks so you don’t get confused. Let’s dive into it.
Create a round corner in the Fusion Tab.
- Select your clip and go to the fusion page.
- Click the ‘mediain’ node and press { ctrl + Space }, then a toolbox appears.
- Search in the toolbox for ‘Rectangle’ and add it.
- After adding the rectangle node, you can see a box appear in the preview window.
- Adjust the box according to your needs, or if you want to only add a round corner, then select the entire area in the preview window.
- Click the inspector panel, and here you can see ‘Corner Radius’.
- Increase the corner radius according to your needs.
- After that, your corner is round and you can back a media tab.
Create a round corner in the Media Tab.

- Search ‘transform’ and here you can see a bunch of transformation effects.
- Select a normal ‘transform’ on the “resolve FX transform” section.
- Drag and drop on your footage.
- Select the clip and go to the inspector> Effects.
