Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor Keyboard

Experience Editing Like Never Before with the DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor

If you're serious about editing speed and precision, the DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor is going to feel like a game-changer. Designed specifically to work in harmony with the Cut page of Resolve, this compact yet powerful tool completely transforms the way you edit — making every movement faster, more tactile, and surprisingly enjoyable.

The first thing you'll notice is the search dial — made of solid metal and wrapped in soft-touch rubber. It’s not just a jog wheel; it’s your new best friend for skimming, trimming, and jumping through footage with precision. When paired with the dedicated trim buttons, the dial becomes a live trimming tool that genuinely feels like you’re holding the timeline in your hand. It’s not just faster — it’s more intuitive.

All About the Speed (and Simplicity)

Unlike traditional keyboards, the Speed Editor strips out everything you don’t need and puts the essentials right where your fingers want them. This means fewer distractions and more efficient cutting. The layout is designed to keep your hands in one place, whether you’re setting in/out points, cutting, or trimming on the fly.

• In/Out points: Large, easy-to-hit keys let you mark and cut scenes without breaking flow.

• Source Tape Mode: Flip through clips as if you're scrubbing through a single tape — ideal for fast-paced projects like promos, news, or social content.

• Smart Insert Cuts: No need to jump to the timeline. Just find your shot, cut it in, and keep moving.

• Transport Controls: Play, jog, scroll, and shuttle with your thumb, just like old-school editing decks — only faster.

Trim Like a Pro — Live and Precise

The live trim function is where the Speed Editor really flexes its muscle. Hold a trim button, and the dial becomes a tool for fine, frame-accurate adjustments. You can switch trim modes with one hand and fine-tune with the other — no clunky mouse movements required. Once you’ve trimmed this way, it’s hard to go back.

Effects at Your Fingertips

Adding and removing transitions no longer feels like a chore. Just hit a button: Dissolve for a quick fade, Smooth Cut for jumpy edits, and Cut to strip all effects instantly. It’s that simple. Want a closer look? Zoom right into your timeline to pinpoint every edit.

Compact. Wireless. Travel-Ready.

Built for mobility, the Speed Editor connects via Bluetooth and includes an internal battery. Toss it in your bag and use it on-the-go with your laptop, or plug in via USB-C for wired work and simultaneous charging. It’s smaller than a traditional keyboard but punches way above its weight.

Function-Focused Keys and Multicam Control

The function keys are grouped into intuitive blocks, each serving a clear purpose. No fluff — just powerful features like Live Override, which lets you live-switch cameras in sync bin view like a real production switcher. You can toggle between video only and audio only cuts with dedicated buttons — a real bonus for multicam edits.

In Summary

The DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor isn’t just another editing accessory. It’s a workflow revolution — giving you the tools to cut smarter, trim faster, and edit with a level of precision and fluidity that a mouse simply can't match. Whether you're cutting ads, creating training content, or diving into documentary work, this keyboard puts the timeline in your hands — literally.

Once you start using it, you won’t want to cut any other way.
