- I have to tell you, I love the Automatic Scene Cut Detector workflow. Why? It takes a lot of guesswork out of the problem. The XML workflow can be so tedious, so error-prone, whereas this workflow, much, much simpler. If there is one pain point, it's dealing with dissolves. Right, remember, you do not want to add an edit point in the middle, beginning, or end of a dissolve, that's what a lot of people want to do here in DaVinci Resolve. Don't do that. It's the Scene Cut Detector. Only add those points at actual edit points. Alright, so now we're here, we've got our timeline reconstructed, let's find a dissolve and see how we deal with this.

Well, I'm going to add it manually, and there's a reason I want to edit manually and not in the Scene Cut Detector workflow.
