Hey Darren! Great video man! That is an awesome tool, I didn’t even know about it. Very cool, thanks for sharing! 😁👍

[@DarrenMostyn]

Thanks Jason. Its a great little device for any application.

[@magicmitch1537]

I just grabbed the pro plus today and I have a feeling that I’ll be coming back to this video a lot. Thanks for all of the info!

[@answermen]

I literally just bought a Stream Deck two days ago! Loving it. You’re right that it would have made a perfect gift but I couldn’t wait!!! Thanks for the great tips.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Not surprised you bought...Id find it hard to wait another 22 days! ! You are welcome BTW.

[@mervolicious]

Hey Darren, I learned a ton from your videos and just stumbled over this one. I am using the XL as well and I was (being color aware) very annoyed with the washed out icons on the XL. So I created a custom color profile to slap on in PS and fix the colors on the XL. You can find a video in German language here and use the automatic translation feature to watch how it is installed and used or if you (as I assume) already know that just use the link in the description to get the profile. Thank you for all the videos you're uploading and helping others get started in having a deeper understanding of this whole ordeal.

[@barrymurphy5548]

Oh you absolute gem Darren, super clear and full of info as always !! I've been meaning to configure mine properly for ages, but never got around to it, now I've no excuse !!

Thank you Barry. Yes, my xmas break may well be spent configuring at a more advanced level. Its actually 'fun' to do (what am I saying !!!). enjoy.

Wow, I was just looking at this on the south American forest shopping site. Thanks Darren! Perfect timing.

[@OrlanDave]

Great video. I have had my Stream Deck for years, back then it was only one size. I actually traded my useless Playstation Vita (great hardware, not so great games) for a Stream Deck at Game Stop. I don't use it much though because it tends to not go to sleep when I put my Mac to sleep. I have the Speed Editor as well, but I always go back to the Shuttle Pro 2 from Contour. I can do so much with it, using one hand, and without having to look at it. might be a slight learning curve, but I can do so much without touching my mouse or keyboard. Sure, it doesn't have a screen to change icons, but I like the wheel much more than the Speed Editor's wheel as the outer ring snaps back to center.

[@JimRobinson-colors]

I just bought myself a Speed Editor for Christmas. This unit looks good as well. I'll have to trick my wife into watching your video here somehow. Thanks again Darren. Look forward to your live show.

I created a profile just for clip colors and it’s been amazing on how much time it knocked off when I was done cutting my footage up. Sooooo handy

[@keithdennis5085]

You've just made a believer in me! I love keyboard shortcuts, and on the frames of my dual monitors I've taped keyboard short cuts that I've written out with a sharpie and painters tape. They completely encircle both of my monitors; and though they are a bit tacky looking, they work wonderfully to help me jog my memory. However, what you've shown me in the video would be far better and quicker! Great video! I'm going to put the Stream Deck on Santa's list. 'Just wish I hadn't been so naughty this past year, I'm likely to get only coal in my stocking; but hopefully it will give me an incentive to be nice in 2022!

Great video! Would you consider the micro panel from DV + the stream deck a good combo for color grading on daily use? Thanks

[@juxtaposedltd3036]

Another great tutorial Darren. I've had the Stream XL for a while and using it with a preset pack for Resolve. Could have saved myself £30 if I'd realised it was so easy to create your own custom profile. And the shortcut for grabbing snip bits in Windows is Windows Key+Shift S. Thanks again.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Glad it was helpful! The £30 probably well spent...I took a day just to do this much!! Its a great device though!

[@tomdchi12]

Took me a bit to track down how you were doing the "printer lights" buttons. I didn't know that there were keyboard shortcuts for them. In the Keyboard Customization window, under "Commands," I selected the "Application" section, then "Color" below that. From there on the right the "Quarter Printer Light" options appear, where I can pull the keyboard shortcuts and set up buttons on the Stream Deck. Thanks! I had no idea this functionality was in there, but in hindsight, it makes sense given how useful it is. I've been using my Stream Deck for months with the very complex CAD software I primarily use, but hadn't set it up for Resolve yet. I'd love a full video to see what you are doing with it once you have your workflow more ironed out.

[@DarrenMostyn]

sorry, yes...after reviewing I should have shown where I got that from. I customised shortcut in Resolve keyboard to QUARTER printer lights and then mapped to stream deck. You also need a button to 'enable' Printer lights See mine is top row 5th from left. I have to press this first then it stays on all session. there is a way to do all this as one button but I haven't done in this instance. Hope that helps.

[@bobuk5722]

Hi Darren. This is an answer to a prayer. I use - or at least try to - DVR Studio for a long term Grandson documentation project. Grandads have trouble remembering shortcut keys ..... I'll be getting one. Thank You. Bob.

Nice toy there. I sent mine back and got an Ergodox EZ, blank keys, 32 layers, split, ergo, tented, changeable key caps. Every key programmable with 32 layers graphically. You can have a num pad under one hand and arrows under the other without lifting your hands - combind with AutoHotKey for even more power and macros. NEXT LEVEL. Any shortcut you could ever want on one keyboard.

[@leadinglightfilms]

can you give more info about your setup with speed editor. debating if i need it since i use stream deck 32 and MX 3s mouse

[@engraverhand]

Man this is really working great! :-) I’m setting it up with the iPad version now and it’s super.. only shame with the Elgato iPad version is the limit of the buttons on a page, but I guess they want to sell their physical Stream Decks, even though I subscribed to the iPad version.. anyway, thanks for an easy set up explanation! :-)

[@allenpayne9182]

I love everything about the stream deck, but I've returned mine because I just cannot work with those buttons. I need "mechanical keys" and now I am using a macro-keyboard with stickers. Doesn't look as cool as the Streamdeck, and it is not that easy to add shortcuts to it. But it works. And I love it. Highly recommend any additional macro keyboard. No matter if Streamdeck or other brands. Makes working with Resolve so much faster and more fun.

[@djvphotography]

I have to agree this is a great gift for the Resolve user, or just about anyone else who uses their computer for hours on end throughout the day.

[@DarrenMostyn]

absolutely!

[@RDUBTutorial]

great video...as a dit i have a ton of use for this with resolve and live grade...I just got the streamdeck plus.....Have you added it to your kit? Would love to see how you would leverage the knobs and the 4 button assignablilty for each tile in the touch screen ....Im hoping to use them like the printer light buttons you made....one click = 1/4 point up and down. hope to see a video on that device from you.

[@marcelolutter-paz3805]

Hey Darren, I just bought mine and am loving it! The one thing I would love to have, maybe you know how to, is a button to toggle through the scopes. I know you use a complete separate screen for them but for me that I work on an imac and have my secondary screen for full screen video, would be great to have that scopes toggle functionality that I couldn't find. Thanks Darren, See you at the live course soon!

[@DarrenMostyn]

I use a serpartate machine for my scopes so kit wouldn't work on my set up. I also have large moniotot for scopes so i can see all at once aesily.

[@smeegjam]

Thanks for this Darren, I've been humming and harring about getting one of these for a while now. Your video has persuaded me that I should have done it long ago. I have been told that I can't get it now though as I don't know what gift vouchers I may be getting for Xmas for a certain online store and I must wait. Not getting the 32 key model as it would be overkill for me and the 6 keys would mean a lot of level diving to get to the options I have in mind so the 15 key is the one for me. On the plus side I will be using your link :) Thanks again and looking forward to the next LIVE broadcast which I will hopefully actually get to watch live this time.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Thank John. Glad it has convinced you. I love mine. Next live will be before Xmas, but i have to clear my workload down first as Lives take a lot of prep for me as Im still not really used to doing them.

@@DarrenMostyn Finally ordered my Stream Deck today. After playing with the software for a couple of weeks I realised that the 32 key will be more useful to me after all so have ordered through your link, hopefully the reward will be worth it for you.

[@andrewkowalski7396]

I just bought one and am super excited to use it! Can you program a button to create a linear and/ or circular mask? Or adjust curves? Itd be great to do these things via single key presses.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Yes you can! Enjoy.

[@JimRobinson-colors]

Funny that I commented a year ago and said that I had just got a Speed Editor for Christmas and joked about next years present - My daughter gave me a gift card for Best Buy and I got the Stream Deck. I have a feeling that you did all your programming for your profiles - wondering if you have heard of a third party that has Resolve profiles already made? I get how it works, but it there is one that is cheap and pretty much done, it would save a lot of time. After doing a search for setting them up for Resolve, not that many tutorials out there. Most are for streaming software. Merry Christmas again Darren.

[@annekedebruyn7797]

Its funny how big the impact of the Streamdeck is. It's not just big among sound and video editors. But it's even pretty popular in live broadcasts. Both TV and Radio.

[@erikmichiels]

Hi Darren! Great tutorial, man. I started DaVinci Resolve just 1 week ago, and man, all those shortcuts... Hence, I was looking for an external 'tool'; first looking at their Speed Editor, but yesterday I encountered your video! Hallelujah! That Stream Deck seems to be the Holy Grail! Purchased it, and already exploring it now. However, since I now have to learn 2 things at the same time (DaVinci & Streamdeck), I was wondering if you could please share your Stream Deck Profile so I could have a flying start? TIA

[@DarrenMostyn]

My stream deck is quite finetuned and personal to my set up so not much value in sharing. Its really easy to set up! Enjoy it. I use mine every day.

[@TylerLunsfordMagic]

I’ve been using my stream deck to help me edit for months now, it’s nice to see someone else using one too!! Do you think it’s worth it to get the speed editor (for the spinning wheel) if you already use a stream deck?

[@DarrenMostyn]

Yes, speed editor is fantastic!

[@jmalmsten]

It is basically "just" a little screen that has a grid of see through buttons on top of it. I own the big one myself. And I am amazed that Elgato has been able to corner the market on this approach. I mean. It is great stuff. And I often look at other macro keyboards and ask... why not steal the screen thing from the Stream Deck? I am curious if there are patents stopping competitors. Luckily, they are somewhat affordable. And the software is more than reasonable (even if it's a bit of a hassle to get simple text on a color background). And it is basically infinetly flexible. Only thing I miss are rotary knobs. But now I got one of them midi fighter twisters and am starting to tinker with it.

[@chrisbogart687]

I have been using the stream deck xl with the sideshowfx pro profile which is really good for me. Now for this Christmas I have just ordered the new Stream Deck Plus which seems to be a good fit and increases the capabilities of the Stream Deck and maybe a good option for field work with my MacBook Pro without having the speed editor or color panel with me. What is your take about this new Stream Deck Plus?

[@guidrysolomonadvising9770]

Can you make an updated video of this where you show how you use this for Resolve and how you set that up?

[@HalloFilmz]

Oh thank you

[@DarrenMostyn]

You're welcome 😊

[@AnJoek]

As a subscriber I can truly say that you keep delivering superb content, every single time! Thank you! I was looking for info on the shotdeck and found you just uploaded this! That’s what you get for subscribing. Your videos on the micro/mini control panel convinced me to put one of them on my Christmas list as well. But checking out the prices, I see at some sites they are discontinued 🙄 Any news on that? Is BM skipping further development on control panels? Are they having something new for Christmas? Should I get my hands on a control panel now, not knowing if they will have anything available in the near future? Do you have any idea what’s going on Darren? Any advice?

[@DarrenMostyn]

Hi. Thanks for subscribing , really appreciated. The panels are staying as far as I know. they just dropped the price significantly so now is a great time to buy. I know and work with the development team at BMD but they would never release to me info such as new hardware - its always a very closely guarded secret. I don't predict anything coming soon, but you never know. The panels are great so even if they did it is money well spent. The 2nd hand market for these is not common so prices keep well. Id go for it....you need to live for today, not waiting on speculation. Good luck with it!

[@AnJoek]

@@DarrenMostyn I was rethinking this that it might be that the sites referring it as discontinued did so because when the panels came out they were bundled with the studio license. I guess BMD has taken the bundle out and ships it without at a lower price. Thanks for you insides, appreciate it very much! Enjoy Christmas!

[@spejampar]

Apologies if this has been asked already but how did you program the buttons to go to the various tabs (media, edit, color, etc)? Thanks!

[@jessevulink9922]

[@raywatts5702]

Thanks Darren, looks very useful! Just need to figure out how to justify buying one to my wife who already thinks I have collected too much kit :) :)

[@DarrenMostyn]

starts from about £69..? The 6 button would still be so useful IMO. many pages can be assigned. Thanks ray.

[@blackestknights]

Not everything in resolve is possible with a shortcut, something like the advanced panel talks to resolve via ethernet (or USB) This means the user interface is seperate from the control and means you can do more than 1 thing at once. On the micro panel the encoders are in groups of three e.g contrast pivot and mid detail which you would tend to work together . The streamdeck is more single item focused. BM have included some good shortcuts e.g for the inspector there is a shortcut to open close the inspector, there is another shortcut to focus on the inspector panel (this also opens the inspector panel if it is closed). BM has been pretty good at subdividing the 7 pages into panels enabling you to focus on specific tasks within a page. Having everything open at once is not ideal as it squeezes down the area you are working on. BM have put some thought into providing you a task focused UI. trevligaspel in conjunction with sideshowfx has a plugin called mousemove and it emulates a 5 button mouse although so far only a limited subset of the plugins functionality has been given to end users. One part is mousemove so you can go to any location on your screen instantly and as well as mouse button presses there are also modifiers such as shift , option , cmd, ctrl there is mouse wheel functionality too the xy location can be absulate or relative to a window one cool little feature is the ability to go to a position to do something and then jump back to the original location. The streamdeck plus has 4 rotary controllers and these can be dynamic or fixed rate movements e.g adjusting a value dynamically will adjust faster if you move the knob fast and slower will move in finer steps. If you have the xl and streamdeck + you can seperate out movement from selection. e.g a XL button can take you to temp and a rotary controller on the plus can adjust the value. One feature Elgato included is that a button can switch profiles but it can also switch profiles on another stream deck e.g you can have a profile for each page but also a profile for each panel. Also if you assign a shortcut to a button if it doesn't have a title then it will give the key combination as a title e.g cmd C you can then add a line say copy so each time you use the button you see the shortcut and learn it so you can just hit on your regular keyboard. like JKL or ABT mousemove is a gamechanger thou as you spend less time dragging a pointer around the screen to hit a hotspot and dragging to change values or using the scroll wheel. So really the streamdeck can be faster and give you the keys you need in the context of what you are working with. Basically a button is a list of keyword arguments that gets parsed everything from title and button image and the desired action.

I have been using the virtual keyboard you can create with Wacom tablet, I have an original iPad (2012?) that works great with Duet, so the Wacom keypad can be used by touch, I bought a new iPad thinking Sidecar might be useful but it's a scam! You can only really use it with the Apple Pen which is pure price gouging (How are Duet able to make all versions of iPad function with touch?) Also if you are using a Wacom who wants to be juggling 2 pens the whole time? Anyway the point is if you have any iPad you can make it useful with Duet and the Wacom Software.

[@pahtashow]

It is possible to do actions in Davinci Resolve and attribute a shortcut for that action? Like Photoshop actions? For example, create a set of nodes?

[@DarrenMostyn]

there are deeper actions than i have covered here so it may be possible but Im only just starting with my streamdeck - cant tell you straight answer I'm afraid.

[@Ditispeter]

I've bought a Stream Deck XL and now I make a deep dive to set everything up. 😄 When an empty profile is loaded on my Stream Deck, it looks like that there's a sort of yellow glow from the upperleft corner over the three buttons in that corner. The same but less visible in the lowerright corner. In the middle the buttons are black. Is this a normal behaviour or is mine broken? When the first button is loaded with an icon that has black on it, it has more a glow on it than when I load it on other buttons.

[@hchattaway]

[@DarrenMostyn]

[@Potchekansky]

@@DarrenMostyn What I'm most interested in is the way you set up your room lighting for color grading. Do you use any specific bulbs, do you add backlight on your monitor(s), if yes, what brand would you recommend? Do you put down the shades/curtains so no ambient light comes through the window, etc.? Does the color of your walls affect the perception of color, if yes, is the extent negligible or something that needs to be fixed? Maybe a general video on how to turn a normal room into a home grading suite would be helpful? P.S. Love your videos, thank you for creating them, they're really helpful!

[@alistairbarclay3116]

Do the buttons change symbol depending where you are in the profiles? How? Are they little lcd screens

[@DarrenMostyn]

yes they are little LCD screens and they change as you press them, but no they wont follow your manual changes via mouse etc. Not to the best of my knowledge anyway. So the advantage is I can always have my colour page profile or even my MAIN page profile open all the time. This is why I have a 'toggle profile' switch in same place on every page. I'm still building it up.

[@scottmason7346]

I managed to find the icon page but everytime I try to install the davinci icons it asks me to open stream deck even though it already open and wont install

[@benmcphee4401]

Does this make more sense for somebody who uses multiple applications and not just Resolve than a micro panel? Could it be paired with a tangent ripple for “wheels?” (Or similar if you have a better suggestion). Or is that a bad solution? Is it kind of future proof in a way because if a new function is added you should be able to program it in?

Is it possible to set it up to change profile automatically depending the active software? - If I don't switch it with the deck. Can you set up toggle icons? - For example if you are on play head "A" you use the highlighted play head icon, if you change it, it changes the icon, so it is faster to see directly on the deck.

Im not an expert on it yet. Might be worth checking out some forums...there is tons of info out there. Im a Resolve expert, not streamdeck! I just enjoy using it. Hope thats OK ?

[@redonebeatbox]

as soon as you have assigned a profile with the corresponding program file, it automatically switches to that profile when the program has been started, or switched to. Sometimes it doesn't do it for some reason, but I find this error to occur about 1-2% of all use time

Not sponsored, I added affiliate links off my own decision as insane not to. Im spreading the word on a device that I genuinely use every day. Like Nobe Omniscope - amazing product. You would not believe the amount of 'stuff' ive been asked to promote on my channel and turned down for obvious reasons. This is my decision to make this episode and I hope many will appreciate it. hope it doesn't ruin the channel experience for everyone. Let me know if it does. Always listening.

[@DarrenMostyn]

At 10:48 you say, "This Button takes me to the color page", but you dont explain how you do this. The tutorial than only shows how to program buttons with funktion inside the color page. Same goes for the keyboard setup. There you can find all funtions insinde the colorpage, but no keyboard command the change from edit to the color tab :-(.

Snipping tool will work on most Windows Machines.

This is not helping me tighten the purse strings!! I'm looking at this and thinking it's going to totally overhaul my entire workflow. It's just gone onto my list for 2022. The compounded time savings over a year would be phenomenal. My son is only 8 and wants to launch a KZbin channel as well so I could setup a page for him and essentially protect all my settings from curious clicking and changes!

[@DarrenMostyn]

good luck with the KZbin channel! I am giving one of theses away on Tuesday night. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3jPnnuCbKqehsk

Thank you@@DarrenMostyn - I bought the speed editor this year and will teach him the basics on that too once I've got my own head around it all!

[@H76Pro]

Anybody wants to be my secret santa and buy me this? 😉

[@DarrenMostyn]

it is really good value...not expensive for 6 button option...you can then configure many pages, so not just 6
