Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor – Bundled with DaVinci Resolve Studio Software

For the Editor on the Go

The DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor with Studio Software from Blackmagic Design is a perfect hardware complement for the editor on the go, and it includes a license for DaVinci Resolve Studio right in the box. The editor interfaces with macOS or Windows editing systems running DaVinci Resolve Studio, providing you with keyboard shortcuts and controls that speed up your editing, compared to using a mouse to navigate your edit system. The Speed Editor is small enough to take with you on location, and its built-in battery allows you to use it via Bluetooth for a wire-free connection. The Speed Editor is charged and can connect to your computer via an optional USB Type-C cable.

The Speed Editor features dedicated push buttons that control the edit modes, timeline navigation, and effects of DaVinci Resolve. Additionally, these push buttons provide shortcuts to useful features available only on the Speed Editor. The built-in Search Dial is similar to the jog wheel often found on professional edit decks, but in conjunction with the push-button keys and DaVinci Resolve software, the search dial is much more powerful.
Search Dial and Transport Control

Built into the Speed Editor is a Search Dial reminiscent of the jog wheel that editors have used for decades to shuttle through footage. Combined with push-button transport controls, the Search Dial allows you to jog through your footage and trim in and out points. The Search Dial is machined from metal and has a weighted feel for slowly jogging through your footage or shuttling through by spinning the dial.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Although the Speed Editor’s panel is small and lacks a Qwerty keyboard, it is loaded with dedicated push buttons for quickly accessing features and navigating your timeline.

Dedicated Transition Buttons

Select from Cut, Dissolve, and Smooth Cut for transitions between clips.

Edit Modes

Provides keyboard shortcuts that replace dragging clips from the trim windows to the timeline or switching to different modes in the Resolve to make edits via the mouse:

• Smart Insert: Resolve will locate the nearest edit in the timeline and insert the clip in that location.
• Append to End: Adds the clip to the end of your timeline edit with the in and out points you’ve selected.
• Close-Up: Automatically creates a slightly zoomed-in version of the selected shot and places it on the top of the timeline.

Bluetooth and USB Control

The Speed Editor supports controlling DaVinci Resolve either hardwired with an optional USB cable or via Bluetooth. The Speed Editor’s integrated battery allows you to work wirelessly, and it charges via an optional USB cable.

DaVinci Resolve Studio License

The Speed Editor includes a license for DaVinci Resolve Studio, which supports up to 120 fps at a massive 32K resolution, as well as support for multiple GPUs for real-time playback of professional 10-bit formats, and accelerated H.264 and H.265 hardware decoding and encoding.

There’s a full suite of immersive audio tools, including Dolby Vision and HDR10+ grading and rendering, the DaVinci Neural Engine, and 30 extra Resolve FX. You get temporal and spatial noise reduction, motion effects, lens distortion correction, de-interlacing, workflow and media asset management integration, remote scripting API, remote and networked color grading, plus rendering and encoder plug‑in support. Plus, there’s full-screen playback on a second monitor.
