Precise and concise. Finally got mine hence hopped back in. One year of trying free da Vinci, guess on the day I got the speed editor, da Vinci 19 update came. Thanks for your videos. Love the cut page. 🎉
Oooooo my God. This speed editor will make our life sooo much easier. The only thing left is to watch this video 100 times and learn everything that speed editor does)) thanks for the video)))
I procrastinated all year and just purchased this incredible offer during the last few days in October 2021 for the price of $295 including the DaVinci Resolve Studio dongle. Now the price for the Speed Editor increased to $395 but still comes with the Studio license.
As a UA-camr and person that generally doesn't enjoy the editing process, this video was extremely helpful to show me how I probably should be working. I've subscribed and plan on watching more of your content for some more tips on how to be more efficient. My speed editor arrived today and I really hope it helps the process go faster.
You can use the camer number keys to switch video tracks on the cut page or in the edit page. To adjust the Y axis with the close up feature double push and hold and you can adjust the x
well try as I might I can't get the x axis to select with a double push, or the track selection in the edit page to work either, are you sure about that ?
Great demo, i think its cool device but imo BlackMagic shouldve included about 10 extra keys eg up arrow, down arrow (for choosing tracks on edit page etc) and maybe 6 or 8 more keys that you can program with you own custom presets, also maybe an ALT key so you can have your own 'second layer' of functions for some keys eg user defined macros or presetes like audio denoise, audio compress, insert logo, export or 1.5x zoom, slow mo 50% etc etc . Also i think the shouldve included a play at 1.2x speed and play at 1p35x buttona, where you can easily press play(at faster rate) and jump back to play at slower rate if you need to carefully listen to dialogue etc.
Just got my Speed Editor with Studio. Since I'm new to video editors AND Resolve, I picked up on this tool QUICKLY. It's awesome!! Much faster and better accuracy than the mouse for traversing clips and populating the timeline. So glad this came with Studio. Basically a must-have freebie! However, I do have a couple design 'gripes' for BMD... 1) Alter the wheel - lighten it (it's like starting and stopping a bowling ball), add some additional turning friction (it's too loose), lose the dimple and add some grip material to the face instead. 2) Change the keys - what's with the 1980s IBM Selectric keys?? Use low travel keys with a slight snap (i.e. ThinkPad laptop). Make key caps changeable and offer button re-mapping software option so users can personalize/optimize their workflow. Then this sucker would be PERFECT :)
Ordered mine yesterday and thought I'd better have a look at some videos of it. Was very happy to see that you had done one and even happier after watching it - your video will have helped me get started straight away and I've never used anything like this before. Thank you!
hey Alex, I am a fan of your stuff since I started DVR and came across your channel. After 1.5 years, I now took the offer and bought the speed editor and the Studio version. Your speed editor tutorial is awesome and you should definitely get paid by Blackmagic for doing their job in explaining their products. thanks mate, keep going on your deserved successful way.
FYI, If you open Resolve 17 and go to Help, Davinci Resolve Reference Manual, There's a complete and thorough section on using the Speed Editor! I usually having it up while I'm working but almost don't need it any more.
@@aphexx100 It's hidden in a separate section inside the big (3600+ pages) reference manual for DaVinci 17, as of this writing the current edition of the manual is the November 2021 one.
I watched about 20 videos..maybe about 20..and your video is the only one that explains " how this Editor works IF used in the EDIT page...many of us edit there more than the CUT page...of course the CUT page is of value but the edit page is the real kitchen where the CUT page is more like the prep table in my eyes... so now i can safely BUY this editor as i always wanted to becoz of the jog wheel ...mighty thanks...god bless
That was incredibly thorough! Thanks! Considering switching over from première pro to DaVinci, I don't do anything complicated some travel stuff and UA-cam, saw there was a special bundle to get the editor "free" with the purchase of a key which I understand is lifetime
I'm eagerly awaiting mine. I'm in the US and as far as I can tell, none have been shipped here yet, with the exception of a few for review by established Vlogers. I ordered mine as soon as B&H posted the promotion. B&H recently sent an email saying they are still on back order. It appears that they were first released in Japan, now the UK and the customers in the US are having to wait (this is my conclusion based on unboxing videos available on UA-cam). Anyway, thank you for making such well presented and thoughtful videos. Your style of instruction on Davinci Resolve is easy to understand, cogent and produced with excellent quality. Definitely some of the best tutorials I've had the pleasure of viewing.
I haven't hardly used the cut page so far in my use of davinci resolve, you've just totally demystified its usefulness to me! thank you excellent demonstration!
Ordered mine yesterday, after watching this I'm even more excited to receive it. This is going to be a real game changer! Thanks so much for the tutorial. 😊
I've been thinking about buying a Studio license since summer - I do editing only as a hobby and so I don't really need it, but I love DaVinci Resolve. I'm so glad that I'm that indecisive and therefore was now able to order it packaged with the Speed Editor (🍻). And your excellent demonstration increases the anticipation all the more! 🙂
wow this makes me want to learn the cut page. I do a lot of music videos but I find myself very fast in the edit page. that sync bin option looked like a game changer though. hmm. Its a tough call though because I edit extremely fast with mouse and keyboard shortcuts. I actually disable the cut page from showing
Da Vinci has courses on this unit, this video is very helpful, thank you, always looking for more knowledge to help me, have had mine for a couple months…extremely helpful….
Nice intro. I currently have a Davinci Resolve Dongle I got for v15 and have been umming and ahhing about getting another licence so I could use my main pc to edit and my second PC or laptop to remote render. At the same time I was looking at macro keyboards to help with this. When this offer came up the other month I decided to go for it as the Speed Editor looks to be a good thing. Now just waiting for Scan to get the stock in.
I just received word that my Speed Editor and DaVinci Resolve 17 Studio dongle are going to be delivered later this afternoon; 'thought I'd come back to this video as a refresher. Seeing it again, reminded me of what an outstanding and comprehensive video it was. You definitely need to be commended for your thoughtfulness!
Did you receive your Speed Editor? Who did you order it from? All vendors I've checked with have NO PRODUCT IN STOCK and NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL GET ANY PRODUCT.
I bought this mostly for the "free" Studio activation, but it seems like I'll actually enjoy editing with the keyboard. Thanks for showing how it works.
Just got my hands on one. In the EDIT page, on a Multicam clip, the cam buttons work. You just have to have both the source and the timeline on screen.
Superb review. Mines on back order, so watching this will have to suffice. I bet they make the Cam buttons select video tracks on the edit page. And, I see that v17 b3 allows more Color page functionality.
Yeah I saw that BETA 3 notice as I was exporting this video 😄 always the way! I think they'll continue to develop it and add more functionality. If they add Source Tape and the Cam Button Track switch to the Edit Tab and it'll become 1000x more useful on the Edit Page so hopefully they do it.
I've watched this several times, jumping in and reviewing certain portions that I wasn't clear on. I am having to learn the terminology so seeing the terminology linked with what it actually does helps a LOT. Demo is great! Thanks!
Got mine on order. Since seeing the Blackmagic launch I have started to use the cut page more with my keyboard & mouse so I am ready for the Speed Editor when it arrives. Your video was very informative.
This is an excellent and succinct introduction to using the Speed Editor. The approach is both practical and logical. I'm new to Resolve, and this guide got me up and running straight away. Thanks so much Alex.
I just got mine, and I am so happy I can use it to scrub on the Fusion page. Going to save so much time. I absolutely hate finding the correct key frame in fusion with my mouse it's such a pain.
Awesome, I'm fairly new and still developing my workflow - got the Speed Editor free with my Studio license and didn't know what half the keys did. Been spending most of my time in the Edit tab, gonna transition to the Cut tab based on your recco, thanks for all the tips!
I'm kinda in the same boat. I have my regular workflow down to a science, but much like you I just started mashing keys in the Edit page wondering what half of them did. Even with the limited functionality in the edit page, it's still a great tool. Having a jogwheel alone is worth the price of admission.
Just recently got the streamdeck+ to go along with the speed editor, first thing i have added is a multifunction dial it has timeline, clip, frame, and 1 sec so timeline goes to beginning or end of timeline clip navigates to edit points frame +/- 1 frame and 1 sec button jumps forward or back 1 second. These buttons work in the timeline or the source or destination window. The Q button switches between source and destination panes cmd1 and cmd2 work to switch between the media panel content and folders (the clip dial function navigates between clips and enter takes them to the source window. Short version you can do really fast 3 point editing with a combination of the speed editor and. the streamdeck+ Resolve has lots of shortcuts built in so really you. are just exposing that functionality in a way thats easier to work with.
I’ve watched a bunch of “speed editor review” videos but I never was interested until now. I’m fairly proficient with my contour shuttle but this looks like it can do something’s that the shuttle can’t. Thanks for clearly laying out the uses and benefits.
So, I ended up buying a license because I got tired of plugging my dongle in, and figured id take advantage of the speed editor freebie before it goes away. 1st off, I ALWAYS used the cut page and was quite surprised to hear how many people NEVER really use it. its like the best thing ever to block out a project. yes I do wish the SE worked in edit page better, hopefully BM will come up with some new firmware, or at least something to let us assign hotkeys (really, who uses 'smooth cut' that much to need an entire button). anyway, my bit of advice is for everyone to get something like a stream deck that wil le you assign hotkeys. I use mine and set up "track pick" so in the edit page I just click a button and it toggles the tracks. a must have if youre moving over to hardware controllers and don't want to keep going back to the keyboard. it was a life saver. only other thing is the jog wheel is REALLY sensitive. if I bump it with a finger it moves ha ha.. but really smooth and nice ball bearings in there, I love it.. thanks for the video tut!!
Fantastic walkthrough of the Speed Editor. I think mainly using the Speed Editor on the Cut page is sufficient as it will enable you to lay down an initial edit relatively quickly. I'm definitely going to snag a Speed Editor. Once I get my muscle memory around using it, it will more than pay for itself in the time it saves me. Merry Christmas and may 2021 be a prosperous year for you. Cheers.
@Vincent Smith did you ever get a key code to start up Studio, or are they also telling you that's back-ordered??? That's the answer I keep getting and I'm like damn I just want to use the Studio version 🤦♂️
LET ME KNOW IF YOU GOT A USB CABLE WITH YOUR UNIT 🙂👍 All the websites I've checked in the UK/US state: "1.5m USB Type‑C Cable" included! Blackmagic UK confirmed they should come with a USB cable!!
Just received my Speed Editor and I’m back to watch this excellent video again. You’ve done a great job here Alex - I feel much more confident getting stuck.in now. Thanks 👍
Thanks Alex, just ordered from scan. Currently priced at £264.00 so my dithering has for once paid off and I'm saving 18 quid. Keep up the good work with the videos.
Brilliant overview. I’m new to Resolve and looking at this makes me want to try the Cut area (and upgrade to Studio with the Speed Editor soon). Thanks so much.
would be nice to be able to zoom in and out the timeline on the edit page using the jog wheel. About cut page: "Zooming in and out of edit timelines is very slow! The dual timeline means you never have to zoom again! The upper timeline shows you the entire program while the lower timeline shows you a zoomed-in area of where you're working."
Thank you. It looks like it might feel similar to the jog/shuttle wheel on the ancient SONY betacam recorder/players. Or, at least it's weighted. I wish there was something like this when we changed over to non-linear editing but glad it's hear now. Great comprehensive review!
The physical build quality looks awesome. But the fact it's so restrictive in its use, only in Resolve and add to that only really in the cut page.... kills my interest massively.
Tell that to editors from a Lightworks background. Many Davinci Resolve users skip the Cut page entirely, but that's just a misunderstanding of the purpose of an offline edit. It functions in the same way one of the old Lightworks offline machines functioned back in the day. The Speed Editor doesn't have the Lightworks controller's robust physicality or intelligent layout design, but anything is better than just a keyboard and mouse when it comes to skilful editing. Even a ShuttlePro is preferable to the stock standard PC input devices, limited though it is..
Thats really cool. I'm sold. I've found it hard to adopt the cut page. I still use the edit page, but with that tool, I think I could make the switch. As long as they still have that special, I'll go for it. However I don't think I would buy it if I had to buy the license and the speed editor separately. I hope I can still get this deal.
Just bought Studio and got this deal. Pleased to say that watching this video pretty much primed me for making the switch from Premiere Pro and it's constant crashes. Excellent work and I KNOW how much time this video must have taken. Thanks Alex.
@@ramprasath1552 yes. Or the editor was free if you look at it the other way. I’ve also got some black magic cameras now and they come with a free copy of studio each
That will add value to professional users. As a starter, I still don't know what all the terms (buttons) mean and / what the functions are. I could already use some of the features that could replace my magic mouse. I'm looking forward to using this in the future to improve my workflow. thx 4 the vid. (google tranl. i am dutch)
Still don’t understand why black magic keep putting out products that don’t work the normal way, how hard is it for them to allow the edit page do what the cut page do… I’ll await the firmware of firmware to catch up… great great video 10 star ⭐️ star ⭐️ explanation … Good stuff.
I guess the video industry figured out that nonlinear editing wasn’t making them any money, so now they’re introducing old school peripherals (this edit controller). I really hope that they start to release some kind of video decks again, maybe a machine you insert an SD card and works better than a laptop or desktop computer ( no rendering needed). I loved my old video rack console system and how it looked with all the tape decks, switcher, controller, and monitors. Clients were way more impressed when they came to the studio vs just looking at a computer that looked like the one they already had. It also kept the amateurs out of the industry, not to mention the ergonomics of devices like this make it way easier than trying to use only a mouse.
As a follow-up I see that it isn't necessary to be right on the transition mark so I guess it's not really necessary to go forward to next or back to previous. What happens often is if there is not enough space to add a dissolve I usually go to the edit page and right click and it will do an automatic trim for 15 or 20 or 30 frames. I suppose the way to do this on the cut page would be to trim a little from clit one and then trim a little from clip two and then hit dissolve and that will probably accomplish the same thing. I'll give that a try and see if it works. This editor was worth the purchase. Thanks as always for your great videos
Wow, lots of new homework to do. Wasn't really understanding the cut page but this really helps. Just got my speed editor, excited to try it you.. Thanks Alex... Dave...
Great video! I'm seeing a lot of real-world use for this. It looks like with a little bit of practice, cutting multi cam interviews could be very fast. Great prospects for news, film rough cuts, etc. I will likely end up using this more than color wheels (which are borderline useless when you use curves 95% of the time.)
I am new to the speed editor but already getting great benefits from it. It had also kept me get better user from the cut page. Your videos also help a great deal and speed up the acquisition of the necessary knowledge and skills. Big thanks.
I'm looking forward to receiving my Speed Editor and my upgrade to Resolve 17 Studio version. Moreover, I'm very grateful for this video demonstration of how it can be used. I think you showed me enough to make me confident that I can glean sufficient benefits from the Speed Editor even in the "Edit Page". Thanks so much!
Thanks for the video! The Speed Editor is going to be a game changer when it comes to putting together a wedding video. I'll be able to put a pretty refined cut together in a day and then just spend a few hours on colouring. Can't wait!
Thanks for the excellent tutorial alex. Professional presentation. Much appreciated. Looking forward to receive my dongle and speed editor by the christmas holidays. BM sales and support owes you big time.
Let's hope they will make it as useful for the edit page as it is for the cut page. But to be honest this machines seems really like a speed editor. Wow.
Thank you so much. Just got the speed editor in and this helped me massively. I never used the cut page, but I definitely will start using it from now on!
I'd like to see a BM edit keyboard that inludes an integrated job wheel. I see no Copy and Paste buttons on Speed Editor; thats all I do, copy and paste numerous b-rolls onto single timeline.
The Speed Editor is not yet in the country but I have activated DaVRS17 and am learning it from scratch. These videos are great but I have to admit that, without having the hardware in front of me yet, my eyes glaze over about half way in!!! 😳 🥴 🥱 😂 But you certainly know your craft! Patience ...... 😎👍
I see a lot of comments about the cut page. If you don’t use it, don’t worry about it. The fact that this is basically buy one get one free; I may try using the cut page more. Betting that I’ll like it more, the more I use it. Finally, it’s a freebie for buying the Studio version that I was going to get any way.
An excellent tutorial, I was getting frustrated with trying to use the speed editor in edit mode, I now appreciate I should work in cut mode. Thank you.
Ive had the speed editor for over a month now and just found out its bluetooth lmao. Ive been meaning to look at the manual ............ Great video and I appreciate you!!
I bit the proverbial bullet when I saw the offer a few days ago. Your video has been an awesome introduction to this little beast of an editor. I think it will be really handy for me, the novice. I would like to see where or how you accessed the firmware screen, it is nowhere to be found on resolve 17 studio on my mac as of yet. thank you.

I’ve watched a bunch of “speed editor review” videos but I never was interested until now. I’m fairly proficient with my contour shuttle but this looks like it can do something’s that the shuttle can’t. Thanks for clearly laying out the uses and benefits.
So, I ended up buying a license because I got tired of plugging my dongle in, and figured id take advantage of the speed editor freebie before it goes away. 1st off, I ALWAYS used the cut page and was quite surprised to hear how many people NEVER really use it. its like the best thing ever to block out a project. yes I do wish the SE worked in edit page better, hopefully BM will come up with some new firmware, or at least something to let us assign hotkeys (really, who uses 'smooth cut' that much to need an entire button). anyway, my bit of advice is for everyone to get something like a stream deck that wil le you assign hotkeys. I use mine and set up "track pick" so in the edit page I just click a button and it toggles the tracks. a must have if youre moving over to hardware controllers and don't want to keep going back to the keyboard. it was a life saver. only other thing is the jog wheel is REALLY sensitive. if I bump it with a finger it moves ha ha.. but really smooth and nice ball bearings in there, I love it.. thanks for the video tut!!
What a time saver.The way editing is done.Black magic Knows what they are doing! I have switched to resolve all together.Thanks for the demo.
Fantastic walkthrough of the Speed Editor. I think mainly using the Speed Editor on the Cut page is sufficient as it will enable you to lay down an initial edit relatively quickly. I'm definitely going to snag a Speed Editor. Once I get my muscle memory around using it, it will more than pay for itself in the time it saves me. Merry Christmas and may 2021 be a prosperous year for you. Cheers.
Mine finally arrived (6 months later).. this video is GOLD!!!!! TY!
The deal pulled me in. But I'm waiting for a backorder from B&H. Can't wait to get this in and learn it. Thanks for the intro!
Same 👊😎
@Vincent Smith did you ever get a key code to start up Studio, or are they also telling you that's back-ordered??? That's the answer I keep getting and I'm like damn I just want to use the Studio version 🤦♂️
@@MotoFamMayhem I received the keycode for Resolve Studio in the mail. But I have yet to receive the Speed Editor.
@@VincentSmith1776 odd I ordered well over a week ago from B&H still no keycode and they say it's backordered 🤔
LET ME KNOW IF YOU GOT A USB CABLE WITH YOUR UNIT 🙂👍 All the websites I've checked in the UK/US state: "1.5m USB Type‑C Cable" included!
Blackmagic UK confirmed they should come with a USB cable!!
Great review Alex ! Complete and well made. Thanks !
The AU/NZ distributor doesn't include USB cables as they had trouble with sourcing. That is the response I got from the distributor direct.
@@TalkieT Aarrgh!! It does seem we're the bastard step-child sometimes!
Ah thanks for the info Neil 🙂👍
Mine arrived today. No USB cable supplied in UK either
Just received my Speed Editor and I’m back to watch this excellent video again. You’ve done a great job here Alex - I feel much more confident getting stuck.in now. Thanks 👍
Thanks for that Alex, I'm one of those who needs to give the Cut page a proper go, so will do so once my editor arrives!
I have it. It feels the same with all three choices. Just handles differently on the timeline.
Thanks Alex, just ordered from scan. Currently priced at £264.00 so my dithering has for once paid off and I'm saving 18 quid. Keep up the good work with the videos.
Great video thanks. I will try the cut page... but I don't think I'll like it! haha
Brilliant overview. I’m new to Resolve and looking at this makes me want to try the Cut area (and upgrade to Studio with the Speed Editor soon). Thanks so much.
would be nice to be able to zoom in and out the timeline on the edit page using the jog wheel.
About cut page: "Zooming in and out of edit timelines is very slow! The dual timeline means you never have to zoom again! The upper timeline shows you the entire program while the lower timeline shows you a zoomed-in area of where you're working."
Get tut! Really lays it out and makes it easy to understand!
I was about to buy Studio 16, boy did I drop lucky, ordered 17 and the Speed editor just have to wait for it all to arrive now.
Thank you. It looks like it might feel similar to the jog/shuttle wheel on the ancient SONY betacam recorder/players. Or, at least it's weighted. I wish there was something like this when we changed over to non-linear editing but glad it's hear now. Great comprehensive review!
The physical build quality looks awesome. But the fact it's so restrictive in its use, only in Resolve and add to that only really in the cut page.... kills my interest massively.
Yeaah I don't think you'll be alone with that.
Tell that to editors from a Lightworks background. Many Davinci Resolve users skip the Cut page entirely, but that's just a misunderstanding of the purpose of an offline edit. It functions in the same way one of the old Lightworks offline machines functioned back in the day. The Speed Editor doesn't have the Lightworks controller's robust physicality or intelligent layout design, but anything is better than just a keyboard and mouse when it comes to skilful editing. Even a ShuttlePro is preferable to the stock standard PC input devices, limited though it is..
@@MrAlexTechWould be awesome to have different modes (Cut Page/ Edit Page/ Export functions) that one could assign keys however his heart desires!
How long before someone jail-breaks this device for other apps? 🤔
Free with resolve which I was gonna buy anyways.. I just stepped up and bought it now
When I get my hands on the speed editor, I will be freewheeling the dial all the time 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats really cool. I'm sold. I've found it hard to adopt the cut page. I still use the edit page, but with that tool, I think I could make the switch. As long as they still have that special, I'll go for it. However I don't think I would buy it if I had to buy the license and the speed editor separately. I hope I can still get this deal.
Very useful, thank you (we are waiting for our Speed editor arrive!)
Just bought Studio and got this deal. Pleased to say that watching this video pretty much primed me for making the switch from Premiere Pro and it's constant crashes. Excellent work and I KNOW how much time this video must have taken. Thanks Alex.
Did you get the studio version for free when you bought the speed editor?
@@ramprasath1552 yes. Or the editor was free if you look at it the other way. I’ve also got some black magic cameras now and they come with a free copy of studio each
Just come back from a great DaVi artist-- but really your channel is perfect just on point --thanks a lot
Brilliant and easy to follow instructions! Thank you lots!!
Very thorough review. Thanks Alex!
That will add value to professional users. As a starter, I still don't know what all the terms (buttons) mean and / what the functions are. I could already use some of the features that could replace my magic mouse. I'm looking forward to using this in the future to improve my workflow. thx 4 the vid. (google tranl. i am dutch)
Still don’t understand why black magic keep putting out products that don’t work the normal way, how hard is it for them to allow the edit page do what the cut page do… I’ll await the firmware of firmware to catch up… great great video 10 star ⭐️ star ⭐️ explanation … Good stuff.
Amazing video man, you explain stuff so well
I guess the video industry figured out that nonlinear editing wasn’t making them any money, so now they’re introducing old school peripherals (this edit controller). I really hope that they start to release some kind of video decks again, maybe a machine you insert an SD card and works better than a laptop or desktop computer ( no rendering needed). I loved my old video rack console system and how it looked with all the tape decks, switcher, controller, and monitors. Clients were way more impressed when they came to the studio vs just looking at a computer that looked like the one they already had. It also kept the amateurs out of the industry, not to mention the ergonomics of devices like this make it way easier than trying to use only a mouse.
By far the best video concerning the Speed Editor I've seen. Thanks so much for the thorough explanation!
Just pre-ordered one yesterday.
Brilliant....! I left the money-grubbers at Premiere, so glad I did.
As a follow-up I see that it isn't necessary to be right on the transition mark so I guess it's not really necessary to go forward to next or back to previous. What happens often is if there is not enough space to add a dissolve I usually go to the edit page and right click and it will do an automatic trim for 15 or 20 or 30 frames. I suppose the way to do this on the cut page would be to trim a little from clit one and then trim a little from clip two and then hit dissolve and that will probably accomplish the same thing. I'll give that a try and see if it works. This editor was worth the purchase. Thanks as always for your great videos
Wow, lots of new homework to do. Wasn't really understanding the cut page but this really helps. Just got my speed editor, excited to try it you.. Thanks Alex... Dave...
Perfect quick tour around that speed editor. I'm loving it already just by watching the video (just transitioning from premiere right now!) - Thanks!
Wow, BM stickers ?!! Im on!
Very helpful video. Thank you!!!
Great video! I'm seeing a lot of real-world use for this. It looks like with a little bit of practice, cutting multi cam interviews could be very fast. Great prospects for news, film rough cuts, etc. I will likely end up using this more than color wheels (which are borderline useless when you use curves 95% of the time.)
I am new to the speed editor but already getting great benefits from it. It had also kept me get better user from the cut page. Your videos also help a great deal and speed up the acquisition of the necessary knowledge and skills. Big thanks.
I'm looking forward to receiving my Speed Editor and my upgrade to Resolve 17 Studio version. Moreover, I'm very grateful for this video demonstration of how it can be used. I think you showed me enough to make me confident that I can glean sufficient benefits from the Speed Editor even in the "Edit Page". Thanks so much!
Best reviews of all. Thanks Alex
Thanks for posting this review. You've convinced me to get one but I think they should have called it a Cutting Deck, Cut Box, etc..
Great video. I ordered the bundle 3 months ago, and it is STILL on backorder! At least when I finally receive it, I'll know how to use it!
Thanks for the video! The Speed Editor is going to be a game changer when it comes to putting together a wedding video. I'll be able to put a pretty refined cut together in a day and then just spend a few hours on colouring. Can't wait!
Alex, my Speed Editor/Studio bundle arrived today, your video was most useful, many thanks!
Thanks for the excellent tutorial alex. Professional presentation. Much appreciated. Looking forward to receive my dongle and speed editor by the christmas holidays.
BM sales and support owes you big time.
one of the best smooth jog wheel, and battery last for 4 days. i am using from last one month.
Let's hope they will make it as useful for the edit page as it is for the cut page. But to be honest this machines seems really like a speed editor. Wow.
Got mine from 3dbroadcast in the UK on Monday. Thanks for the video, most helpful!
Ah that's great news, thanks David :)
Thank you so much. Just got the speed editor in and this helped me massively. I never used the cut page, but I definitely will start using it from now on!
Did you get the studio license along with the purchase?
@@ramprasath1552 Yes!
This has been super helpful with my new speed editor! Now I am excited to dive into the cut page! Thank you!
13:47 this is a nice feature. Thanks for pointing it out.
I'd like to see a BM edit keyboard that inludes an integrated job wheel. I see no Copy and Paste buttons on Speed Editor; thats all I do, copy and paste numerous b-rolls onto single timeline.
Crystal clear. Excellent! Thanks.
The Speed Editor is not yet in the country but I have activated DaVRS17 and am learning it from scratch. These videos are great but I have to admit that, without having the hardware in front of me yet, my eyes glaze over about half way in!!! 😳 🥴 🥱 😂 But you certainly know your craft! Patience ...... 😎👍
I see a lot of comments about the cut page. If you don’t use it, don’t worry about it.
The fact that this is basically buy one get one free; I may try using the cut page more. Betting that I’ll like it more, the more I use it.
Finally, it’s a freebie for buying the Studio version that I was going to get any way.
An excellent tutorial, I was getting frustrated with trying to use the speed editor in edit mode, I now appreciate I should work in cut mode. Thank you.
Ive had the speed editor for over a month now and just found out its bluetooth lmao. Ive been meaning to look at the manual ............ Great video and I appreciate you!!
I bit the proverbial bullet when I saw the offer a few days ago. Your video has been an awesome introduction to this little beast of an editor. I think it will be really handy for me, the novice.
I would like to see where or how you accessed the firmware screen, it is nowhere to be found on resolve 17 studio on my mac as of yet. thank you.
