Blackmagic Design Davinci Resolve Speed Editor, Bluetooth & USB-C Editing Keyboard Bundle with Davinci Resolve Studio Activation Card

After seeing a lot of Youtube videos about the Speed Editor, and wanting to get into video editing myself, I was convinced, "I've GOT to get me one of these!!!!" I found the Speed Editor bundled with a software license for the Studio version of Davinci Resolve. It was Amazon Prime Days, and so I was able to buy it at about $150 less than the advertised price. That was too sweet of a deal to pass up! It was delivered to my house the very next day! A lot of people have suggested when first learning how to use Davinci Resolve, that you skip the cut page and go straight to the edit page. It is my opinion that if you are first getting started with Davinci Resolve and wish to have one of these Speed Editors, that you do the exact opposite; Start by learning the cut page first instead of the edit page. This way it will probably be much easier to get used to the speed editor once yours arrives. The edit page has great features, however it's easy to become spoiled and you might be hesitant to switch over to the edit page. Old habits can be hard to break out of. The speed editor DOES work with SOME of of the features on the edit page, but it was designed to be used in the Cut page. That's where it shines. It is designed to work exclusively with Davinci Resolve, and probably won't work with any other product. This is probably not a gadget you can learn how to use in just one session. It may take some time to learn what all the buttons do, and to become used to using the scroll wheel. I've used the old school clunker VHS video editing consoles that have the left and right shuttle knobs. The Speed Editor shuttle knob has a completely different feel compared to those old VHS consoles. Unlike the consoles which have spring-loaded shuttle knobs that return to the center position after you rotate and let go, the Speed Editor knob turns freely, and will rotate all the way around. You can spin it. It has no click or indentation feel, there is no "center" position. This takes some getting used to. There are three different speeds for the control knob. I'm still learning the different ways to trim and edit clips in the cut page. For example, when to use the "place on top", "trim in", "trim out", "roll", "slide", "split", etc. It can seem overwhelming and confusing at first. Best suggestion is to simply open up Resolve, go to the Cut page, load some footage, and just play around with it. Experiment and learn as you go. Also there are lots of tutorials on Youtube about this product. It will connect via bluetooth OR you may connect it to your computer via the USB "C" cable which was included. (If your computer doesn't have a USB "C" jack, you may get an adaptor cable.) After playing around with this gadget for a few days, I'm really starting to like it. I love how the control knob feels, and how quickly I can navigate across the timeline and clips. Even my cat is fascinated by the control knob LOL Heads up; keep your kitty away from it, because, like I said, the wheel moves freely, there's no click/indentation feel, and it's quite sensitive. I like the multi-cam features, and the ability, with the press of a button, to turn on or off audio or video on individual tracks. The in and out buttons are large, making it easy to use without having to look down to see where your hands are placed. This is a well-built quality device. I think this gadget is well worth it, and is a good investment, whether you're just getting started with video editing or have been doing it a while.

This was a game changer. It made editing so much faster. And it cost so little when it comes with TWO Davinci licenses. Amazing value. There is no reason to buy a license. I might buy another as a spare just to get more licenses for my other computers. It actually has cherry red keys. I love a real mechanical keyboard and I was not expecting it to have professionally keys at such a low price. The dial is functional. Weighted. And free spins for a while making it feel luxurious and functional. I didn’t even realize it had a built in battery and Bluetooth support. 10/10

I picked up the Blackmagic Design Speed Editor and have been very happy with it. Out of the box, it feels solid and purpose-built, with keys laid out in a way that makes sense once you start using it in DaVinci Resolve. The standout for me is the weighted jog/shuttle dial — it’s smooth, responsive, and makes scrubbing through footage faster and more precise than using a mouse or trackpad. After a few days, I already found myself reaching for it instinctively. The real kicker, though, is that the purchase price includes a DaVinci Resolve Studio license. Considering the software alone normally costs about 2/3 of the price as this package, it was a no-brainer. That value made it an easy decision to buy. Compared to relying only on keyboard shortcuts, this controller has noticeably sped up my workflow, especially for trimming and navigating timelines. I haven’t run into any issues with build quality or connectivity. The Bluetooth connection has been stable, and charging hasn’t been a concern thanks to the long battery life. While it is specialized — it doesn’t replace a full keyboard for every editing task — it shines in its intended use case: fast, hands-on timeline editing. If you’re already working in DaVinci Resolve or planning to upgrade to Studio, this is an excellent choice. It’s not as broadly useful outside of Resolve, but within it the Speed Editor feels like an extension of the software. For anyone serious about video editing who wants to speed up the basics and get Resolve Studio in the deal, it’s a no-brainer.

DaVinci Resolve Studio is hands down one of the most powerful video editing suites available, and the industry is gradually shifting toward it as a true competitor to Premiere. Avid still rules in Hollywood, but Resolve is catching up fast. For indie filmmakers and content creators, this is an all-in-one powerhouse. What makes this bundle worth it is the Speed Editor. It’s not just a gimmick. Once you take some time to learn it, it actually improves your editing flow. Tasks like trimming, scrubbing, and cutting become more tactile and intuitive. Heads up for first-timers: the activation process can be a little confusing. I recommend skipping the boxed instructions and going straight to the official DaVinci website to download the Studio version. There’s a helpful video on YouTube (search: How to Activate Davinci Resolve Studio 18) that walks through the process better than Blackmagic’s own docs. Pros: Full-featured suite for editing, color, audio, and effects Includes lifetime license and activation card Speed Editor adds real efficiency for frequent editors No subscriptions. One-time purchase Cons: Activation user experience could be better Learning curve if coming from Premiere or Final Cut If you're even mildly serious about video editing, or just tired of subscription software, this is a fantastic investment. The Speed Editor is a no-brainer add-on when it’s bundled like this. Highly recommend it for editors leveling up.

Background: I am a director who also shoots and have through experience become an advanced editor. I have a BS degree in Digital Cinema. Meaning I've been editing consistently since before Final Cut 7. I've used Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere, FCP and even a few oddball NLE's over the years. I've owned 4 BMD cameras so I am using DR Studio. I dove deep into Davinci Resolve in 2020 to edit a feature film I wrote & directed. I hoped editing in DR would save the Colorist some time although I hadn't done much more than short videos before that. I was using a beta version of DR. Consequently, after editing for months I learned the DR keyboard shortcuts, customized some hotkeys and became pretty quick. I am now at an 80/20 split between keyboard and mouse when I am editing. Purpose: When DR added the CUT page I tried for a while to get into it; the idea of speeding up my editing was very attractive. It never really worked for me although I've learned / transitioned multiple NLE's. But I didn't have the patience for it after a numerous tries. NOW, I have a lot of videos to edit for clients, a documentary feature, and it's all hitting at once, Q4/ end of the year . Purchase: I bit the bullet and bought the "Speed Editor" hoping something could save me. The device came overnight by 11am. Good start! I watched a pretty thorough 20-30 minute tutorial on YT that laid out the basics for using the Speed Editor with the Cut Page which is the purpose of its design / use case. I've been editing on it for 3 days now. I even took it in the car for a 4hr road trip to edit in the back seat on a laptop. REVIEW: Hardware: It feels well made, has old school tactile punchy keys, the shuttle wheel is as professional feeling and smooth as mentioned by others. It has to be charged up enough to kick in the bluetooth functionality. That took about 20-30 minutes. It comes with a long (2-3 feet) USB-C cable making it easy to start working right out of the box, it still works as it charges. It doesn't feel or behave like a cheap piece of hardware. (UPDATE: even after a small 1-2 foot drop onto cement it still works with only a few small scratches. So it's seems fairly durable, but I wouldn't drop it on cement again. The hollow plastic sound of it landing on cement made it clear that it doesn't have a rigid metal body. ) Software: HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS. The Speed editor REALLY makes the DR Cut page fun and useful and much easier to use. You can review and navigate through footage to assemble a timeline of selects really quickly, and even the trim edits are a little more fun and but not necessarily faster than my hotkey method. I haven't used the multi cam functionality yet but I think it will be faster than the Edit page for that too. It has plenty of basic editing functionality for assembling a rough cut in the DR Cut page but it doesn't seem to be great for the Edit page. Although there is some functionality that is nice there too. If none of that makes sense, don't worry about that, it comes with a key to the latest version of Davinci Resolve Studio. (18 for me). I had it already but if you want to step up your initial editing process or be able to assemble short form videos faster, like for Social media or something, then this is worth it if you have a lot of video content to create quickly. It makes the hyper advanced app Davinci Resolve, a great option for simple basic editing for non-professional hobbyists and you've got no subscription fees. Combine this with the included DR-Studio and you have all you need to grow as an advanced video post production tool if you are willing to learn all that the app can do. Summary: I'm now using the Cut page a lot, and I am liking editing again. This is a simple device, that is easy to use and learn. If you have basic editing skills or even limited skills it will simplify and speed up the process of assembling your videos. I have already started to find unique ways to use this. This is really good for going through a lot of footage and assembling things. Not sure if it will work once you get into advanced fine cutting but it is pretty habit forming. It's exactly what I need to finish a project with lots of videos by the end of the year. I'm not sure if it will be "faster" than what I was doing already in terms of advanced detailed editing, but if it definitely seems to make assembly editing that you would pass on to a "Jr. editor" or "intern" quicker, easier and more fun again. The software that comes with it is taking over the industry in my opinion. If you are a REAL VIDEO ENTHUSIAST or professional, then this is well worth the price for saving you time and increasing your productivity. For example, DR can transcribe an interview., very quickly. Then you can search through that text document for a word like "conference" and with the speed editor quickly pull those portions of the interviews that are right for your current scene. That alone saves a ton of time sifting through interview footage by simply letting the computer search for the right words in the text document that it generates. And as the cursor goes to the spot in the document, the "source monitor" playhead goes there as well. So you can set in and out points and drop it in with this device very quickly. That particular workflow with the speed editor is much faster and more efficient than using the keyboard/mouse. I think this can pay for itself in in 1-2 paid projects with the time-savings and productivity-increase. Increasing your profitability. If you just want to make assembly editing more fun and faster this may be worth the money if you are familiar with DR already. it depends on if you have enough free cash to make the investment worth it for you, or if you have the time to learn Davinci before your next deadline. If you are a naturally slow mouse-based editor, stop reading and get your card out... you need this thing!

As an amateur content creator who dabbles lightly in video editing, the Blackmagic Design Davinci Resolve Speed Editor has been a game-changer for me. This device has made my editing process so much smoother and more enjoyable. Pros: User-Friendly: Even though I’m not a professional, the Speed Editor is incredibly intuitive. The jog wheel and dedicated buttons make it easy to navigate through my footage and make precise edits. Solid Build: The quality of this device is impressive. It feels sturdy and well-made, which gives me confidence that it will last a long time. Price: It may seem expensive for an amateur at first, but since it comes with Davinci Resolve Studio license, it's not all that bad. The integration with the software is flawless, making my editing sessions more efficient. Compact and Portable: I love that it’s compact enough to take with me wherever I go. It’s perfect for editing on the move. Cons: Learning Curve: There was a bit of a learning curve at first, but once I got the hang of it, it became second nature. Overall, the Blackmagic Design Davinci Resolve Speed Editor has been a fantastic addition to my editing toolkit. It has made my hobby even more enjoyable and efficient. Highly recommended for anyone looking to up their editing game!

I had been thinking about switching to Resolve for awhile, as it seemed to be the new hotness. Using the free version, I was convinced very quickly. The free version doesn't work with all of the video formats and outputs though, so you need the studio version. You can get there by way of $300, or buy any Blackmagic hardware. The price varies from same to $100 more, so this is a great entry point. But the real win is the way this changes how you edit. I think Resolve is already a more logical tool than Premier Pro, but this makes everything faster and easier. It's the reason that the cut page exists. You can move around the timeline and edit with great precision, and make adjustments fast once you know how all of the keys work. I mean, don't like the out point of that thing you just added? Hold down "trim out" and whirl the dial. The unit feels super solid, like a 90's tape edit controller from Sony or Panasonic. The dial has weight and you can feel your movement.

This is a great addition to an editing workflow in Resolve. Intuitive to use and the scroll wheel is amazing in use. I can't speak highly enough of this keyboard especially if you have a multicam workflow..... When it works.... Unfortunately there is an issue with Windows right now that is causing issues with computers recognizing it properly. This presents in Resolve not seeing it, sometimes seeing it, not lighting up, not connecting with bluetooth properly. When testing across multiple systems and OSs it works fine on some and not at all on others. The only difference being what version of windows is in use. While things get worked out use it through usb and use the keyboards reset key combo (Cut+Smth Cut + Jog) multiple times until the lights come on and you are good to go. Keep an eye on the blackmagic design forums as this gets figured out.

MERVEILLEUX, j'adore et les touches sont silencieux et tendre au toucher, je n'hésiterais pas en racheter un autre, donc le recommande

Since the price of the Studio license is around €300 I was expecting this to be a cheap flimsy bit of tat thrown in as a sweetener. I couldn't have been more wrong. It is a sturdy, weighty, professional piece of kit which oozes build quality. It makes editing a joy and you can see that the Davinci software and hardware people work closely together to make an amazing end product. Something a lot of other companies could learn a lot from!

Great device and totally worth the money - came in a bundle with DaVinci's studio version, which alone is sold for $300. I'd recommend the speed editor to anyone looking to save time and optimise their editing process. It takes some time getting used to, but once you build these new brain-to-hands connections, it's a game changer and saves you tons of clicks. Arrived on time and securely packaged.
