Mirror
Line-based image reflection
Reflects an image across one or two user-defined lines for symmetric layouts and mirrored transitions.
This tool belongs to the Krokodove set integrated into DaVinci Resolve 21 and Fusion Studio 21. See the complete Krokodove node list and the comparison with native Fusion tools.

Mirror creates deterministic symmetry without manually duplicating and flipping layers. The mirror axis can be positioned directly in the frame.
Overview
What Mirror does
Mirror creates deterministic symmetry without manually duplicating and flipping layers. The mirror axis can be positioned directly in the frame.
Think of placing a physical mirror line on top of the image: pixels on one side are reflected across that line to build the output.
Mental model
Think of placing a physical mirror line on top of the image: pixels on one side are reflected across that line to build the output.

Important parameters
Start with these controls before reaching for more complicated workarounds.
Mirror Left X / Y
Sets the X and Y components of Mirror Left.
Mirror Right X / Y
Sets the X and Y components of Mirror Right.
Reflection Axis
Sets the axis across which the image is reflected between the left and right mirror controls.
Render
Sets the rendering/sampling quality used when Mirror resamples the image.
Settings
Provides standard node blend and mask behavior.
Practical setup
A reliable workflow
- 1
Place the mirror axis.
- 2
Check which side is being reflected.
- 3
Adjust the axis angle if needed.
- 4
Animate the axis for a reveal.
- 5
Inspect seams at 100 percent.

Troubleshooting
Common mistakes
Pushing Mirror farther than the source resolution can support
Animating several Mirror controls that fight each other instead of choosing one clear primary control
Judging Mirror edge quality only in a proxy or reduced-resolution Viewer
Production notes
Practical tips
Keep the main Mirror transform logic together instead of scattering equivalent adjustments across several nodes.
After a strong Mirror deformation, inspect image edges and alpha for stretching or resampling artifacts.
