[@user-qo9jq7ed2l]

I’ve been editing with the speed editor in the “edit” page for 3 years. Jog, snap, slice, append, in/out, ripple delete, trim, all work great. I place the speed editor next to my mouse and my normal keyboard behind these, it works great.

[@PlumbingsCool]

Yup, me too exactly. I'm most comfortable with the keyboard on my left, editor on my right, with the mouse just in front of it...and almost all exclusively in the Edit page. Tried each keyboard on their own, and I'm always longing for a function (especially that jog wheel....soooo intuitive.) OK, I'll admit it: Bought it exclusively for that fancy wheel...and no regrets !

[@carlculpepperimages]

I agree with your description - it seems more like a "comfort editor" than a speed editor. I've been using the speed editor for about 5 months, and I don't think I am any faster. The experience is just more pleasant - especially having a jog wheel. Although, I quite often have to remind myself to use it.

[@watzmaaname]

Agreed!

[@morethanfarmers]

I considered getting the speed editor, but I watched a video once that recommended the Logitech MX Master mouse for editing. THAT is a gamechanger. The horizontal scroll wheel does what the jog wheel does, thumb button is my cut shortcut, and the middle button is my delete shortcut. Then your hand is also always on your mouse to do other things as well. It’s only about a hundred bucks, and it made the speed editor look completely useless for me. This confirmed it.

[@PuttBenis]

Thank you commenting this, I was watching this vid thinking that workflow looks annoying having to take your hand off keyboard/mouse to use the speed editor. Read your comment and was sold, just ordered mine. Thank you!

[@resolving_boris]

I used the same mouse you have but switched to the SE and am much happier. The scroll wheel is awesome (it blows away the thumb wheel on the Logitech), but it's far from the only feature that makes the SE better than a mouse.

[@SnOrfus]

It’s funny because I use it entirely in the edit page. It has source/timeline buttons to swap between them. So I’ll put my a-roll up on source, set in/out points with the speed editor buttons then add it to my timeline using the smart insert button. I do 1-handed operation though. Left hand on the speed editor and right hand on kb/mouse. I think that your takeaway really nails it on the head though: it’s not necessarily faster or slower, but it is definitely a lot more fun.

[@JorisHermans]

Gonna give it a try in the edit page! 🙏🏻

[@REMY.C.]

I was also surprised to see all those multicam keys. A very cool thing to see would be a separate set of key caps that you could buy to replace keys you do not need and a software to remap the functions. After all it's a mechanical keyboard.

[@AIKnowledge2Go]

Awesome timing with this video! I just ordered mine yesterday and can't wait to integrate it into my workflow. I primarily work on the edit page, as my process involves using voiceovers and precisely cutting my videos to align with the voice for my tutorials. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the wheel can revolutionize my editing, especially since positioning the playhead accurately has always been a challenge for me. It would be incredibly helpful if you could create a beginner tutorial for those of us who are accustomed to the edit page but are now venturing into using the cut page, perhaps incorporating tips on utilizing the speed editor. Thanks for the great content and looking forward to learning more!

[@chrisbogart687]

I also bought the speed editor when it first came out and the studio license was included a real great deal. I really learned Resolve by using the Cut page and do the bulk of my editing on that page since I was not used to using the Edit page. The speed editor also works with the iPad version. Just have to teach old dogs new tricks.

[@travelcaliber]

You are one of the finest content creator whom I seen enjoying transfering the knowledge to masses! Keep em coming Joris ❤

[@RandumbTech]

I bought mine a few years ago for $295 with license. It’s an amazing device. On cut page, it’s quicker to use in and out keys with ripple delete than split.

[@BraapZ]

👍Another AWESOME helpful DVR video, thank you. I LOVE my Speed Editor. Being a newb starting out with the speed editor I don't have any old habits to trip me up, (thankfully as I know how frustrating that can be). The MultiCam buttons, I totally get it, though..... my initial work in learning DVR, (I am still VERY new to DVR), has been editing my wifes presentation videos, 3 cameras and a Power Point slide deck screen recording, using DVR Multi cam editing process is UNBELIEVABLY amazing and the Speed editor with those multicam keys enhances that experience just that much more. In this scenario it does speed up the workflow by at least 2x if not 3x-4x. It really is that amazing using DVR's built in Multicam workflow. Even if you are just using single cam talking head and use a lot punch in zooms, you can take that single cam recording, copy 2-6 times, apply different zoom/crop levels to each and treat each of those as a separate camera in the mulitcam work flow and BOOM! Jumpcuts to zoom-in you want is sooooo much easier and faster, (I do this sometimes with my wifes, adding a couple more zoom levels, makes it sooo much easier and faster to zoom in on an emphasized comment) Again, thank you. I learn so much from your videos that helps me in editing ours.

[@smokingkippers1173]

Nice insight. Thanks.

[@mervyn2316]

Some great tips there!

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

Always love your honesty 🙏 Great video/review, Joris 🤘

[@ruudbremer]

i bought my speed editor for €295 including the studio license 3 years ago. I think that was the best deal ever :P

[@jaxturdanerd6253]

I did also but sadly mines broke always use the proprietary wire😅

[@ML-Mediaproduction]

I bought the speed editor with the studio version last week too :D thanks for your video so i can adapt my new workflow with the speed editior!

[@yousefcreative]

Great review of the speed editor! I bought one and tried it with all my heart for a week but ended up sending it back. I did feel faster like I could cut faster with the jog wheel, but it didn't click with the way I work. I'm constantly switching between the editor and a browser to find information, source stock clips/music and do other things. I end up going back and forth between the jog wheel and mouse and it didn't maske sense. If I want to go to a specific part of the video, it's way faster just to get my mouse pointer over there and click. I love the "snap play head to cursor" shortcut that Premiere for this very reason but sadly Resolve doesn't have that shortcut! Another negative is that it's locked down to one piece of software. You can get a good jog wheel from another company that can be used on all kinds of software.

[@hughan00]

I have mapped the ripple-trim-backward-to-playhead to the 1 key on my numeric keypad and the ripple-trim-forward-to-playhead to the 2 key and use those keys in combination with the Speed Editor. I couldn't be without the SE. It's completely transformative. Perhaps THE best peripheral device I've bought.

[@WritewheelUK]

I've had the Speed Editor for around 2 years now and I reckon it's well worth the extra. I use it one both the Cut and Edit pages, and it shines on the former. It took a while for me to get used to it - I'm in my dotage, so someone with a flexible brain should find it more or less instant - but once I didn't have to think what key to press, I was sold on it. The dial feels great, and is frame-accurate, getting to yher desired one quickly. Smart Insert is but a click, and the In and Out buttons are suitably large. The only downside is that it works only with Resolve. I'd love to see a hack for Blender. I went for the Studio upgrade and was a bit surprised to receive the SE. It wasn't mentioned on the 'Buy Now' page of the website. It was a German or Austrian company. To answer the question you posed when you opened your video: Yes. Buying both the SE and Studio is a no-brainer. Thanks for the video.

[@timbonnarens]

Really informative video. I enjoy your content. Keep going!

[@mick_d]

I got my Speed Editor free with Resolve when they first came out and I really like it. It will do some things in the edit page so it is not just for the cut page. I really liked when you dropped the speed editor. That was funny. I enjoy your videos. Keep it up.

[@3D-eVo]

I love my speed editor... bought this when it was in the price of the Studio License - actually added to Studio License. Actually - after 3 years I do not know anymore how to use the keyboard. And - is is speeding up editing - but in my case not 10x... unless you want to cut, split, add basic transitions, move, append etc.... so basic editing. But of course then you go to coloring, effects, titles - ans actually this is what is using most of the time... but still - love this! I wish I would have the big full keyboard ;-) - but this is over my home studio budget...

[@alex.muntean]

I use mine for the selects timelines. Amazing time saver. I don’t really use it to actually edit. I find I am much more efficient and quick when editing on the timeline with my custom shortcuts.

[@willpowermediagroupllc]

Your videos are awesome!!!👍🏾

[@moco360]

Plan to have it in the future.....for now I still with tourbox with it's limitation for davinci. But I agree for my editing programs, the wheel is really helpful for fine scrolling...also with tourbox

[@TroskyOnline]

For me the biggest problem is that the Ripple trim to Playhead button is missing. I've had the device for 2 years but I just can't use it without the button. I don't understand why you can't freely assign the multicamera buttons.

[@JorisHermans]

I've asked them. Will let you all know when they answer 🤞🏻🔥

[@theFrostySurvivor]

I always enjoy your videos, thanks. I didn't know about that deal when I bought Studio....I'm still kicking myself aver that lol.

[@marcinhf]

The problem is you can't turn it off. You can use those "Cam" buttons for selecting tracks.

[@rayortega4831]

Best decision I made after making the move to DaVinci Resolve from Vegas and Premier. The Jog Wheel is much fun to use! I used speed editors when I worked in Radio and TV, back then good decks were very cost prohibitive. The price point on this little deck made it a must have for me.

[@IbiFTheRealOne]

xd nice one, thanks for the information plus the funny moments ^^

[@Raima888s]

I love the speed editor. So glad I got it.

[@resolving_boris]

I love my Speed Editor, especially with all the button functions that you get. Once you learn all the functions you'll wonder why you'd ever edit with a mouse. In only a few weeks I was editing 5x faster.

[@Drigonil]

I was actually sceptical about the speed editor, but i opted for a fullversion of davinci so i tried it out and it felt way more comfortable to edit and gave the cut page, which i mostly ignored at that time a reason to be. I moved around that time and just didn't had the time to film or cut something. Today i felt like cutting an old project, ehich dusted on my harddrive, started without the speed editor and was immediately frustrated and went on the journey to find it out of all the boxes, which i still have to unpack. Does is make you faster? No I don't think so, but you can work way more precise in the same amount of time. So if you see it that way... yes there is time saved, but it's really more on the comfortside of things.

[@HittheroadMax]

Hi there, I'm still wondering if the speed editor was a good choice for me. Too bad the multi-cam part isn't reassignable keys for other options like if we were changing keyboard shortcuts.

[@costa_konstantinou_dp]

If you just want to get a jog wheel in addition to your mouse and keyboard, try the Contour Shuttle XPress! It’s a wheel with to rings and five programmable buttons for 59,- Only downside - it has a cable.

[@LeeAndrooo9]

pls help is it possible to track multiple textboxes example: text 1 shows up then leaves then text 2 shows up. i got on my timeline like 100 textboxes from subtitles and i want to connect them all to a tracker without creating them in fusion?

[@DustyFingersRC]

Great review, thanks 👍🏻

[@fazubattlecaster]

I usually have the speed editor at the left of my keyboard, keyboard in the center, mouse to the right and my Stream Deck with DaVinci Resolve pre-programed keys behind the keyboard.

[@KirkwoodImaging]

I really wish the keys on this were slightly less sensitive. They respond to the slightest hint of being touched. Also, I don't think there is a way to turn it off other than exiting Resolve. I sometimes take this thing with me and if you close your laptop with Resolve on and throw both in your bag you're going to have a bad time when you open your laptop back up.

[@Amarrurkee]

That was awesome at 40 seconds reaction loved that brother

[@terriblehans]

I just got it! But how you paste B roll in ch2 and start to controll it with the noob without the mouse??

[@OndrejPopp]

Price difference right now, 16 April 2024 is only 66.25€... 399€ for the speed editor + license from local resellers or 332.75€ for the license from the bmd website. So.. although I don't really need it, if it's only 66.25€ extra... well... might get one anyway then.

[@HeresMo]

I love mine, I used to jump between NLEs, but since I bought it I've only edited on Resolve Studio.

[@KarelZweefvlieger]

Yep good buy! recommended!

[@SilvaGoof]

what if you already have studio, what do you do with the extra key they give you?

[@angel_s_cano]

How many seats for DaVinci include the speed editor?

[@morrisgetman9827]

Thanks for sharing! For some reason all the reviews of the Speed Editor I’ve seen so far totally omit any in-use details. That said, learning that the BMD SE lacks buttons for the two most used commands in editing videos: the Ripple Trim TPH IN and Ripple Trim TPH OUT - really sucks. I would think they must be the two best placed buttons over the jog wheel, cuz I normally scroll the timeline to where I want a cut and ripple cut a clip to there like 90% of my editing time. And they’re not even there, what a dumb thing to do, BMD…

[@JorisHermans]

Hopefully they add speed editor key remapping soon🤞🏻

[@ghostmachine3519]

Is this different from holding TRIM IN or TRIM OUT and moving the wheel? Because that edits whatever clip is below the play head. Be in Ripple mode to ripple trim. Use the cam keys to select the track.

[@TimelyAdventure]

I just got this deal, and happy I did!

[@shorerocks]

Hm, I got the speed editor with DaVinci Resolve, no extra payment. So, why not. Never used it. But. I use Resolve to do my own music videos, so I am not really in need of the scroll wheel etc. Sounds silly. But I am glad I have it. And I am sure, I will come back to it.

[@Bobsmithabc]

Do you have a video about the Deliver page and what your export settings are?

[@davidshowto]

It feels like remappable keys would be a no-brainer for such a device.

[@kalal20al]

isn't the ripple button, on there as the delete button under full view? or is that for something else?

[@cystarkman]

Does the jog wheel in shuttle mode allow timeline playback speed to be granular. For example, 1.1x, 1.2x 1.3x instead of the stupid 2x 4x 8x 16x

[@wewillbealive]

back to arcade time 😊

[@kcoppa]

The best thing to pair with a speed editor is a stream deck. you can add the keys you need their and more.

[@myeclecticself]

The jog wheel is super nice. I just don’t have extra room on my desk to leave it there all the time.

[@JorisHermans]

But it's wireless...! You could put it in the kitchen. 🤔😅

[@karakur]

Having trouble with my DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor keyboard. It's not responding during editing sessions despite being fully charged and recognized by my computer. Indicator lights aren't working either. Tried on different computers and reinstalled the software, but no luck. Any suggestions?

[@JorisHermans]

Does it work when connected by cable?

[@CosmoKramer1]

Can you basically only use the scroll wheel as a mouse? For the rest i would use my keyboard

[@YetiLyfChill]

Can you remap keys? Like the multi cam keys to something more useful for people that don't multi cam?

[@prostigeMarketing]

Is there a case for this to travel with? I ended up picking up a astra 2 backlight keyboard to use with my speed editor. Also sold the license (way better than 600 on the editor keyboard IMO).

[@RJ-Creations]

Thanks for this video! Is it possible to assign short keys to the multicam keys? (Or other keys)

[@JorisHermans]

Exactly what I was thinking but at the moment it doesn't seem like that's possible.

[@RJ-Creations]

@@JorisHermans Hopefully that will be possible soon.

[@nkronert]

I would think that it should be possible to either update the firmware on that device or do some remapping in the editing software. Does it manifest itself as a human interface device ("keyboard") or does one have to install a driver for it?

[@kaytomascom]

Great video. Cant you add a custom keybind with Ripple delete to playhead shortcut with the Speed Editor? Is that possible?

[@CarlosMarioPalacioSalazar]

Too slow!!, Keyboard + mouse with custom shorcuts is more faster.

[@Zherebtsow]

1st of all, i bet 90+% of ppl who have Davinci Studio, have it just from BM cameras, near nobody buy it just from website for 295... so its dont cost just extra 100 in 90% times. 2nd - seems like this thing is gives too low comfortable boost, near zero, cos its ok only for super easy video editing like in this video, where you just have 1 line of video, 1 line of sound, and you dont need to fix sometime sound or do some multi level video editing... cos jumping from cut to edit looks like no reason at all, instead just to edit in edit, do all your effects and fixes through your editing. Cos cut all video, than back to start and find your fix places in video... stupid thing, you can miss smth and its just no reason to jump from time to time. 3rd - this wheel.... not sure, but hold Button and scroll mouse wheel is super fast too, no reason for this Wheel too... or if you have Macbook and you use Keyboard and can use touchpad sometimes for smooth things... you dont need this wheel.
