Overview
PunchX Transitions brings raw, analog energy to your DaVinci Resolve edits. Inspired by real punch hole transitions used in vintage film splicing, this pack was built during a late-night music video edit when clean wipes just were not cutting it.
You get 24 pre-keyed overlay transitions and 22 pre-keyed punch hole transitions in 4K ProRes QuickTime .MOV with alpha channels baked in. On top of that, there are 12 un-keyed punch hole PNGs for custom builds, and 6 film burn effects to throw old-school heat onto your cuts. Eleven electrifying sound effects in crispy .WAV format are included so your visuals hit just as hard audibly.
Everything is modular, letting you mix overlays, punch holes, and film burns into your own wild, screen-tearing effects. No plugins are required, just drag and drop onto your timeline.
PunchX Transitions is featured in our comparison Best Transition Plugins for DaVinci Resolve (2026).

Verdict
The punch-hole aesthetic is a specific, recognizable look, useful if it fits your project, dead weight if it doesn't. Same pattern as the rest of The Resolve Store's packs: one-time purchase, no updates, no trial, so you're committing to the style based on the demo reel alone.
