<p>I am new to this software (and also video editing). I originally made adjustments on the Color page, but then wasn't able to smoothen the transitions, so I ended up scrapping them and re-doing the same thing on the Edit page.</p>

In DaVinci Resolve 14, there seem to be two ways to use keyframe animations with geometric transformations.

One is on the Edit page, using the Inspector. Here it seems to be possible to smoothen out transitions with curves.
