+ ## What's New in v2.213.1 — Fusion keyframes reach the render; the contact sheet waits for the viewer; the ledger learns Resolve 21.1
6
+
7
+ Reported in #196 by @JosephConroy93, with a repro precise enough to reproduce
8
+ on the first run.
9
+
10
+ ### Fixed — Fusion keyframes (#196)
11
+
12
+ - **`fusion_comp add_keyframe` wrote the keyframe under `comp.Lock()`, so it
13
+ read back correctly and never rendered.** This is the comp-lock class this
14
+ repo documented in v2.98.5 for `set_input` — a value write under a lock
15
+ lands in the graph, `GetKeyFrames` lists it, Fusion's own page playback
16
+ interpolates it, and the delivered render ignores it — and `add_keyframe`
17
+ was the site that never got the fix. Measured on Studio 19.1.3.7 with a
18
+ Transform `Size` keyframed 2.0 → 1.0 over 47 frames on a media-backed clip:
19
+ through the shipped handler the render was bit-identical to the no-comp
20
+ baseline (PSNR inf); the identical writes with the lock removed rendered the
21
+ zoom (PSNR 13.3 dB against baseline, and frame 46 back within 44 dB of the
22
+ baseline as `Size` returned to 1.0). Four unlocked variants all rendered —
23
+ modifier locked with the write outside, `StartUndo`/`EndUndo` around both,
24
+ nothing wrapped, and a spline assigned directly — so the write pattern is
25
+ not the variable, the lock is. The handler now wraps the spline attach and
26
+ the first key in `StartUndo`/`EndUndo`, the escape `bulk_set_inputs`
27
+ already uses, which also gives the user one undo step per keyframe.
28
+ - **`delete_keyframe` moved off the lock for consistency, not because it was
29
+ broken.** It was mutation-checked: re-locking the delete and rendering still
30
+ removed the key from the output (frame 46 stayed at the 2.0 zoom, 5.7 dB
31
+ from baseline). The lock does not suppress a spline delete on 19.1.3.7.
32
+
33
+ ### Notes on the report
34
+
35
+ - The reporter's own patch — write outside the lock, modifier still inside —
36
+ made their render fail outright on Windows 19.1.3.7 and 21.0.4.5. That
37
+ variant rendered correctly here on macOS 19.1.3.7, so the failure was not
38
+ reproduced and its cause is unknown; the shipped fix uses the undo-wrapped
39
+ shape instead, which rendered on every attempt.
40
+ - Priming (an unrelated unlocked write first) did not rescue it for the
41
+ reporter. That matches the v2.98.8 mechanism only partly and was not
42
+ re-tested here.
43
+
44
+ ### Validation — #196
45
+
46
+ - `tests/test_fusion_value_write_lock.py` now recognises the keyframe write
47
+ shape (`tool[input][time] = value`) under a lock, and fails against the
48
+ pre-fix server naming `add_keyframe`'s line — the guard was confirmed to
49
+ fail before it was confirmed to pass.
50
+ - Live render witness on Studio 19.1.3.7 through the real `fusion_comp`
51
+ handlers: `add_keyframe` animates, `delete_keyframe` removes, `get_keyframes`
52
+ reads the written values. Full offline Python suite, drift guards and the
53
+ advanced Node suite green.
54
+
55
+ #197 and #198 contributed by @billcarroll, on the day Resolve 21.1 shipped. Also on landing: `timeline_markers get_thumbnail` read the thumbnail once too and now goes through the same settle helper; live-validated on the same scratch timeline (two of two reads), with the guard covering both sites.
56
+
57
+ ### Fixed — contact sheet and get_thumbnail (#198)
58
+
59
+ - **`timeline thumbnail_contact_sheet` returned "No thumbnail available" for
60
+ every frame.** It moved the playhead and read the thumbnail once,
61
+ immediately; the viewer has not caught up when the scripting call that
62
+ follows a playhead move lands, so each sample came back empty. The sheet now
63
+ reads through `_playhead_thumbnail_settled`, the polling helper the
64
+ single-frame path already used — it was the one caller not switched over.
65
+ Live-validated on Studio 19.1.3.7: three samples across a scratch timeline,
66
+ all three returned thumbnails. A static guard now fails the suite if any
67
+ `GetCurrentClipThumbnailImage` read appears outside that helper. (#198)
68
+
69
+ ### Documentation — Resolve 21.1 in the API ledger (#197)
70
+
71
+ - **Three `api_truth` entries corrected for Resolve 21.1** (#197), on the
72
+ strength of the contributor's attribute probe of Studio 21.1.0.14. Native
73
+ multicam clip creation is withdrawn as a gap (`MediaPool.CreateMulticamClip`,
74
+ `TimelineItem.FlattenMulticam`, `PerformMulticamSmartSwitch`,
75
+ `Timeline.AutoAlignClips` resolve on 21.1); transition **creation** is fixed
76
+ by `TimelineItem.AddTransition` while readback and cloning stay missing; and
77
+ the truncated `GetClipProperty('Transcription')` now has a real route around
78
+ it in `MediaPoolItem.GetTranscription()`, which returns per-word timing and
79
+ speakers for the source clip. `docs/reference/api-limitations.md` regenerated
80
+ (42 → 41 missing capabilities).
81
+ - **Provenance is stated in each entry.** No 21.1 build exists on the
82
+ maintainer's machine, so the entries record these as *reported by the
83
+ contributor, not reproduced here*, following the ledger's existing
84
+ measured / reported distinction. None of the methods was invoked; the claim
85
+ is existence and signature only, and each entry says what would falsify it.
86
+ - **The shipped scripting README moved in 21.1.** `Developer/Scripting/README.txt`
87
+ is gone in favour of `README.md`, a typed `DaVinciResolveScript.pyi` and a
88
+ `CHANGELOG.md`. `tests/live_resolve21_validation.py` reads either name, and
89
+ `AGENTS.md` explains why the bundled API text is not refreshed in the same
90
+ change (every `resolve_scripting_api.txt line N` anchor in `src/` would move).
91
+
92
+ ### Validation — #197 and #198
93
+
94
+ - Full offline Python suite, drift guards (api-limitations, agent rules,
95
+ release surfaces), the advanced Node suite. Contact sheet live-validated as
96
+ above; the api_truth change is documentation and needs no Resolve run.

CORRECTION, measured on Studio 21.0.4.5 (2026-08-12): this entry previously said transitions applied in the UI are 'invisible to and unmodifiable by scripts'. BOTH HALVES WERE WRONG and are withdrawn. A transition IS a first-class timeline item: a 12-frame Cross Dissolve applied through the Edit-page right-click menu enumerates in GetItemListInTrack('video', 1) as GetName()=='Cross Dissolve', GetStart()==86426, GetDuration()==12 — centered on a cut at 86432 — with a stable GetUniqueId() and a working GetTrackTypeAndIndex(). A transition authored offline into a .drp and imported reads IDENTICALLY, so the route that created it does not matter. It is also REMOVABLE: Timeline.DeleteClips([transition], False) returns True and deletes it, leaving both adjacent clips at their original starts and durations. THE DISCRIMINATOR between a transition item and a clip item is GetProperty(): a transition returns an EMPTY dict where a video clip returns 26 transform keys; it also has no MediaPoolItem and no Fusion comp. WHAT IS GENUINELY MISSING: creation, cloning, and any type/alignment/parameter detail — the transition's kind is knowable ONLY from its name string, and there is no way to read its alignment (centered/start/end) or edit its duration. AUDIO NUANCE (measured 2026-09-01 on 19.1.3.7, E113): an audio cross-fade enumerates in GetItemListInTrack('audio', n) with an EMPTY GetName() (24 frames, centered on the cut, between the two clips) — so on audio lanes even the kind is not readable from the name. The discriminator that holds for BOTH: GetMediaPoolItem() is None AND GetProperty() is empty — BUT a Solid Color generator AND a subtitle item read the same way (GetProperty() None, no MediaPoolItem; measured E115), so that pair only separates clips from non-clips. What separates a transition from a generator is GEOMETRY: a transition straddles a cut (one neighbour ends inside its span, another starts inside it) while a generator owns its span. timeline.get_items reports `kind` on that basis.

- - **Workaround / current handling:** Automated QC of existing transitions IS possible and is the main practical need — enumerate GetItemListInTrack, treat any item whose GetProperty() is empty and whose GetMediaPoolItem() is None as a transition, and read its name, start and duration. Removal is scriptable via Timeline.DeleteClips. To CREATE one, either apply it in the Resolve UI, or author it offline and import: the advanced server's drp place_transition writes a cross dissolve at an abutting cut ({track, atFrame, durationFrames}) and it round-trips into Resolve 21.0.4.5 reading back at the expected centered range.
85
+ - **Behavior:** CREATION IS FIXED IN 21.1, READBACK IS NOT. Reported by @billcarroll (PR #197) from an attribute probe on Studio 21.1.0.14 (2026-09-08; not reproduced here, no 21.1 install): TimelineItem.AddTransition resolves to a <BlackmagicFusion.PyFunctionCall object>, not None. Its stub signature is AddTransition(transitionOptions) -> TimelineItem | None, where transitionOptions carries type (e.g. 'Cross Dissolve'), category ('simple'|'fusion'|'ofx'|'audio'), position ('start'|'end'), alignment ('left'|'center'|'right') and an optional duration in frames. It was NOT invoked (a call mutates the user's timeline), so this entry claims existence and signature only. WHAT REMAINS MISSING ON 21.1: reading a transition back. There is still no accessor for an existing transition's type, alignment or duration beyond its name string and frame range, and no clone verb — alignment and duration are write-only arguments to AddTransition. The pre-21.1 statement, kept as the historical record: there was no method to ADD or CLONE an edit transition — no AddTransition/CreateTransition/AddVideoTransition on Timeline or TimelineItem (dir(), 21.0.4.5).

The contributor measured it on a live 21.1.0.14 against an already-transcribed interview clip: 1550 segments, per-word start/end timecodes, a populated `speaker` field, and '(...)' as Resolve's own silence marker. Note the transcript is of the SOURCE clip, so timeline positions must be mapped through GetStart()/GetSourceStartFrame() on the timeline item.
