I recently released my hands-on impression video for the Speed Editor, in which I presented my thoughts after a week’s worth of use for a short documentary. Either way, knowing that a number of these functions were still usable on the edit page, I was eager to jump into an edit and see if it was just as efficient as the Resolve Keyboard.

Perhaps it’s my stubbornness, or maybe it’s that I’m so used to the edit page I know learning the methodology of the cut page will just slow me down. I feel more than adequate in assembling my initial cut on the edit page. While the cut page has its merits, it’s not a page I spend time on. Yes, this tool was primarily designed to be used in conjunction with the cut page. Now with the DaVinci Resolve cut page and the DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor being co-designed, it means they work together for a whole new generation of editing workflow. “Until now, editing software has been designed to be used with a mouse however, that’s slow as each edit function often takes multiple mouse clicks to do each task. “We think this is an incredibly exciting product as it has such dramatic workflow ramifications,” said Grant Petty, Blackmagic Design CEO. I was simply pressing them on the wrong page.Īs noted by Blackmagic Design CEO Grant Petty When the Speed Editor arrived and I started to play around with it, I quickly noticed several of the buttons weren’t working.

This lighter and more compact variant of the keyboard retails for $295.Īdmittedly, on the night of the announcement, I was heavily focused on writing the new features of the edit and color page and was going to catch up on the other Resolve features, plus the Speed Editor, a little later. Thankfully, in the recent live announcement for Resolve 17, Blackmagic introduced the Resolve Speed Editor. While there were the likes of the Logic Resolve Keyboard on the market, the search dial’s functionality and pre-programmed function keys were the elements that gave the Resolve Keyboard its wow factor. Priced at $995, the keyboard was not easily accessible for hobbyist editors looking to improve their efficiency. In 2019, Blackmagic Design released the DaVinci Resolve Editing Keyboard, their first peripheral for Resolve’s edit and cut page.
