(I’m dating myself there, I know, but what the heck.)

The buttons have a long key-travel and are easy to feel, which reminds me of using old PC keyboards or even the legendary Sony BVE-900 A/B Edit Controller on which I started editing in the early 90ies. Note: SHTL (Shuttle) is basically what JKL functionality tried to emulate in most NLEs The Keys Unfortunately this makes the SHTL-feature a bit fiddly to use. I guess the haptic feedback feature fell victim to bugetary constraints.

However, a little indicator beneath the viewer appears ins SHTL-mode and tells you which way you are going and at what speed. This makes it hard to find the “neutral” or “pause” position of the wheel, as well as gauging how fast forward or backward you are going. There is no haptic feedback when you switch the wheel to SHTL (shuttle) mode like in some similar controllers. You can bump the wheel and it will keep spinning for a while, because of it’s momentum - very nice.

The metal dial turns buttery smooth and has a nice weight to it that makes using it quite pleasing. A Jog/Shuttle/Scroll wheel sits in the bottom-right. Some buttons have secondary functions that can be accessed by double-pressing and/or holding. Despite the metallic look it’s casing is made out of injection-molded plastic.Ĥ3 keys - some of which have LED status indicators are arranged in five logical groups or sections. The lightweight device is roughly 25cm x 16cm in size. The DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor Placement on my Desk: Image Credit: CineD Build Quality The device is designed to speed up your editing workflow by putting frequently used functionality on dedicated keys and the beforementioned dial. The controller is supposed to be used alongside a regular keyboard or laptop. It puts a lot of functionality on dedicated keys and a wheel. The DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor is a specialized keyboard (also called a controller). Let me share with you what I think about the device. I had the pleasure of using it for close to two weeks. Blackmagic Design was kind enough sent us a loaner unit. When Grant Petty introduced DaVinci Resolve 17 recently, he also demonstrated a new editing controller device, the DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor. keyboard_arrow_rightCameras of the Yearīy Florian Gintenreiter December 2 nd, 2020.keyboard_arrow_rightGear Guides by Budget.keyboard_arrow_rightGear Guides by Type.
