Blackmagic Design Davinci Resolve Speed Editor Bundle with Davinci Resolve 18 Studio (Activation Card)

Eeasy to set up. A bit intimidating to use at first, but with some practice I’ve come to love it!
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.

Buy it
I have only scratched the surface on this thing. If you only used this to quickly scroll through footage and have that sexy frame by frame advance, it would almost be worth the purchase price. Add the lifetime pro studio version of Davinci, and it IS worth the purchase price! But it does so much more than that. I haven’t mastered it yet, but already it has been a time saver and super fun to use. It is also a head turner and looks really professional sitting on your desk. Do yourself a favor and look up YouTube videos on all the stuff this thing can do and you will see what I mean.

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

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.

この大きなホィールというんでしょうか、接続して回すと、プレビューが、スルスルと思った通りに動いてくれます。これだけでも操作性は大幅にアップしましたが、それ以外にもトランジションなど価値のある物が多数あるし、新しいバージョンも更新して使えるDavinci Resolveも着いてくるし、最初に購入して大正解でした。
