If you click the spin wheel in, it highlights the nearest cursor point to a cut. I.E where the roll, slip, trim tool will work..... That's what it does
Think of it like the speed editor being the free gift you get for buying the Studio license. Still an unparalleled value.
I definitely agree. I have found myself using it less and less though. Mainly because it’s another device to carry around with me.
I think if I was always editing at my home office or wasn’t on the move as much as I am, I would probably use it more.
Unfortunately, they have increased the price of it by $100. Still a good deal compared to just buying the license.
Yes I just got it for the studio version
In my case I played around with the free version of Resolve and liked it. To my benefit I wasn't experienced in video editing and when I purchased the Studio version that came with with a free Speed Editor made a WORLD of difference. I hardly ever use the editor tab. I build the bulk of my videos in the cut page in a matter of minutes. the Edit tab is now strictly used to polish and adjust, just like the Color tab and Fairlight tab. In time I found the Cut tab to be one of the most valuable space in Resolve, especially when someone is waiting to see a draft of what you have in mind for their video. instead of taking a couple of hours in the Edit Tab I can do the same in the cut page within 15 minutes. The speed editor is absolutely essential. I can only imagine how a Mini Surface to color grade would bring to my workflow. Which is something I am considering if I ever get into disposable money. It's a toy but as musician knows, toys brings that feeling in when you want to get th sound you really want out of your guitar. Resolve and black magic toy together does the same to me.
only problem i have is cut tab seems to lag. its not the footage, it runs every other tab fine, its just stuttering in cut. and when i make proxy it does the same. its not about processing power it really seems like a bug and its a big deal when im trying to cut precisely when few frames drop, also its annoying as hell
My experience was entirely different in part because I had no experience with Resolve beyond a quick evaluation of the free version of Resolve before purchasing the Studio License / Speed Editor bundle which I did after watching several different tutorials on how to use it.
Thanks to the tutorials I understood going in that it was designed to be used with the Cut page and having never used Resolve any other way I found the process of appending, trimming and adding to transitions very simple and intuitive. In addition to the convenience of the jog/scroll wheel it saved me the trouble of learning all the equivalent keyboard shortcuts or point and click equivalents on the user interface. All things considered it made the process of learning Resolve easier.
I am considering purchasing the Speed Editor mainly to get DaVinci Resolve Studio version. Current pricing is $299 for Studio and $395 for Speed Editor plus Studio. So, the “getting the Speed Editor for free” option is no longer available, but paying $100 for it is still not a bad deal. Thanks for your reflections on the unit.
Never knew the wheel could click 😂 Thanks for pointing that out 🙂
I have it, I love it and I would never edit without it. And since the last release (18.1) there is extended support for the Speed Editor on the edit page.
Hey Mike.. I have one SE but didn’t used it very much. I am still learning the Davinci Resolve, so not a pro. But one thing I found particulary useful is the grabbing stills with the jog wheel. Like said, not a pro, but I doubt there can be a faster way to scrub through video and take out thousands of pictures.
As for the manual, you are kinda right. Would be a nice to have one dedicated 50 pages pdf, but there is a ca 400 page Editors manual to download from BMD site and it covers all the functionality of the Speed editor. Not on one place though, but through working tutorials that are accompanied with downloadable video samples.
My only problem with speed editor is, back to the jog wheel, that can lose connection to program so you have to reboot it by pressing 4 knobs at the same time. But this happened just once and the solution to this was already online, posted by people who have experienced this beforehand.
The best, full tutorials for the use of SE I’ve found were those from
Darren Mostyn and Mr AlexTech.
But I don’t recall none of them mentioning the jog wheel button:). I hope the answer will come in the future or with a firmware update.
Have a good day.
Dude, Thank you for all the information! Yeah, I am still giving it a chance. Haha, I actually really like the SE so far. I might do an update video / full review sometime in the next couple months since I have used it a bunch more now than I did when I made this original video.
@@MikeLazarecki this sounds interesting. Like a workflow timelapse you mentioned in video. Bring it on man!
Great video mike thank you,
Was into buying this and learned a lot - subscribed.
The jog dial press button is to set edit points ....jeez
Thank you! This video is pretty outdated now. When the speed editor initially came out, I could not get that function to actually do anything. Just my observation. I appreciate the information!
Watched this for the second time, because I connected my speed editor for the first time. I now need that editing demo video. Don’t need the comparison because I have already purchased the activation key and SE package. Oh, effectively, I am a genuine newbie. Someday I will understand what a ripple delete is, but boy, most demos are too fast, very opaque.
After some years using the Free version, in April 2020 I bought the Spped editor together with Studio License. I'm really happy of using Speed Editor in Cut Page and really good for me to first selection of clips from many files.... I'm still trying to understand which differences arrived with 18.1 version.....
March 2023 pricing - Speed Editor $395, Davinci Resolve Studio $295... So you are getting the Speed Editor for $100 over the cost of DRS alone...
Time-lapse workflow comparison video would be cool!
Black magic includes the Studio version free with the speed editor; not B& H
Very helpful and honest.
I use the Loupedeck CT for DaVinci... It works with all the pages in Resolve.
I was thinking of giving that a try
If I invest in luopedeck CT, I still have to invest in DR studio too.
Thanks for the video right now this is on sale in local store so makes it exact same price as studio which I was looking to buy anyway so makes it a no brainer.
thanks mike
I have a similar opinion as yours. Plus I was using the free version and knew I wanted the Studio eventually. This mad it a $100 device with the $300 Studio version. Smart choice if you haven't purchased the studio version.
My main reason to buy it is really to get the license lol. I mean 300 for the license or 400 for the keyboard and the license. Seems like a no brainer lol
Edited: so many people are said what I said haha
Great review.discussion Mike. I think they shouldve included some pre etched custom keys and the option to change out the camera number/numpad section
great video
Hi Mike, great review this is. Thanks mann
Thank you Peter! Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you!
hey man we don't know each other but I see you haven't made a video in few months hope you Get back at it ! you make great vids/ new sub here
Yo, thanks Bryan! That means a ton to me man. I really appreciate you and I definitely will be back at it very soon. Already have some stuff in the works. Thanks again though man, it’s comments like yours that inspire the hell out of me.
Do you have a streamdeck, I think a 32 key streamdeck XL would be helpful too. I think the firm real keys of teh editor would feel better than the unsure/spongy clicks of the streamdeck for keys taht you use a lot during editing
Glad you did this. I'm on the fence about buying it. I want it and don't own studio. So, I would get great bang for my buck. Do you think I should bite the bullet and go for it? I do videos on the side but they take forever to edit and put together. which keeps me from doing it.
Hey Dutch! It’s really hard to say if this is a product that would help your workflow or not. I am getting ready to make a follow-up video to this that I think you’ll want to see.
I’ll say this, if you are editing all the time and constantly using the speed editor, it will almost definitely speed up the initial cut of whatever you are working on. Especially if you always edit at your home workstation. But if you are like me and you are traveling from home to a workplace and editing whenever you have time, I have found it to be inconvenient to carry with me so I resort back to keyboard shortcuts.
@@MikeLazarecki Thank you for the imput. I'm excited to see the next video. The other big part I forgot to mention is not having gpu acceleration. I would get that if I bought this because I'd have studio. How big of a difference is there between studio and free when it comes to encoding / decoding once it's on the gpu ?
That’s a hard one for me to comment on, I have been on the studio version of the software for a couple of years and have been using a MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro for the last 6+ months. With that system, I have been able to render 45minute wedding videos, fully color graded with stabilization on several shots in like 12 minutes.
Playback is always smooth, even with large RAW video files from Canon C70’s and other crazy cameras. Haha
@@MikeLazarecki I have a 3070ti Founders edition. So I would expect crazy fast render times. Currently though, a 10 minute video takes roughly 20 minutes to render. 40k 60fps. H.246. Also. My play back during editing is a bitch choppy because the system won't use the gpu.
Oh yeah, then I would say you would definitely see an improvement
Thanks so much for this cool video! DaVinci will probably remain a Swiss army knife diamond-in-the-rough kind of thing forever. I'm cool with that and very interested. But without a manual, extensive tutorials, and a more friendly user-interface, most folks will probably not buy this hardware. Poor documentation, non-existent documentation, and even over-lengthy documentation are all unusable to me. If they were to fix these problems they would own the entire market and even more people would leave Premiere and Final Cut.
Subscribed just to learn how to use the SE.
Moneysaver? Do I get the Studio version if I buy the speed editior?
Yes, it comes with a license code for Studio.
@@MikeLazarecki Thank you so much for your fast answer. I'm in Germany, and the delivery time from the official reseller is 1 month plus. And you get the key only with the parcel. So I'll have to buy the Studio first and later on top of it the Speed Editor.
Thanks! Still using it?!
Yep! Not as much as I thought I would but I’ll have a full review coming soon.
@@MikeLazarecki yea I’m a colorist and deciding if I’d use it since it’s mainly for the cut page. A store has a used one on sale!
does it come with davinci resolve studio?
Yes, it comes with a license code for Studio
most people would buy it bcz of the included studio
Nice vid, the trick I found is that you have to clic on any button repetidly during the splash screen
That makes sense. Thanks!
Very BAD review! A load of (primarilly negative) repetitive waffle, but no demo with this thing attached to Davinci Resolve.
I am interested in buying this unit, but your review does NOT help me for one single moment. Reading the comments, many viewers are far more positive about this unit than you are too! Thumbs down, goodbye. Of to UA-cam sites that make real reviews.
Well... shame on me for having an opinion. Get lost. Lol
Is this video a review though?
@@MikeLazarecki The review indeed was great Mike. Its a little different from others as you did not use text, B-Rolls. To be honest this striked my mind only after reading Rick's comment and in my opinio your video was quite engaging and helpful. All the best with your upcoming vidoes.
Yeah this is definitely not a review. Not even sure he actually used the device.
He likes it he doesn't like. I wonder what real world editors think?
You didn’t even show it in action. The video didn’t help me at all.
