A bit late to the DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor game are we? Maybe ... but that doesn't mean it's not still a GREAT piece of kit. My take on it is it really is a bit misunderstood, and yes, there is the clunky middle part with the multicam buttons andd all, it's not perfect for everything, but it is perfect for what it's supposed to do - and that is to provide you with an efficient tool for starting your edits in the right way, in the cut page, focusing on assembling the pieces for your next video masterpiece. - บันเทิง

Totally agree. I never used the cut page. Always started in the edit page. Thought "What is this cut page thingy good for? In the edit page I can do everything it offers and even so much more?!?". But now this seems to me like saying "If I want to carve a chess piece, why should I take an axe into the forest to cut down the tree for it when I have a carving knife - it can cut wood and much more!?!". The Speed Editor forced me to use the cut page. Now I don't want to miss it - even when I don't have the Speed Editor at hand. But with this device it's a blast. However, excellent video - top production quality for a 100 subs channel - and I have the utmost respect for the way you speak into the camera. Well done and keep it up!
Thanks for that lovely comment, I try my best :) And yeah, the right tool for the job does wonders :) I used to think it would still take the same amount of time to edit everything regardless of how I did things since everything had to be done anyway, but after segmenting things up it's way easier to stay on point and not do things I have to re-do anyway down the line - and using the cut page really helped keeping that focus, and the wheel ... I actually had a standalone wheel several years ago, a usb wheel for timeline stuff, used it to edit music and videos and stuff, but then drives wasn't updated anymore and I just completely forgot about it. The wheel just feels *right*, swooshing back and forth - and the way the trim in/trim out buttons work when your close to a cut between 2 clips, one adjusting the end of the first clip and the other the start of the next clip - attention to tiny details like that makes editing a joy :)
This was not a waste of my time and you have my subscription. Thanks...
Thanks man, appreciate that :) Hopefully the upcoming videos won’t disappoint :)
I just got the speed editor a few weeks ago, and I love it. It has sped up the rough cut and helped me get my timeline organised. Love the way that you explain. Your set is so great- very intriguing. Great content!
Yeah, isn’t it great :) The tactile feel of the scroll wheel alone almost makes editing fun ;) And thank you for the kind words, I try my best to explain juuust a bit more than many ‘tubers, but not overexplain (which I do have a tendency to do, editing does some magic removing those parts ;) The «set», aka my workshop, is a work in progress, like *all the time*, but it’s a functional but «messy» space, much like my brain ;) I’m working in a big speed editor video going through all the features on both cut page (as well as some recommendations on process/segmentation of workflow for best results) and how I use it on the edit page, and when one should consider the full size editor keyboard instead of the speed editor especially for the cut page, will probably be out in a couple of weeks so stay tuned :)
Just bought one, absolutely love it so far even though I'm not fully utilizing it yet due to still getting used to it. Would be nice if there was a timeline zoom option
Sweet :) As for the zoom option, you are aware the full timeline is always available for quick navigasjon above the elastic timeline yeah? just checking to make sure :)
I to was sort of «should have had that» in the beginning, but as I’ve gotten used to colorcoding clips and using markers to know where things are I’m less and less missing the option, especially after focusing on just building the cut in the cut page, and *not* getting into the kind of editing which should be done on the editing page that requires zooming in and out to jump between sections of my video in the timeline. Focusing on just building the segment from clips, moving on to the next one, until the whole timeline is done, and then trimming each sequence more in detail sometimes in the cut page, and *then* jumping into the edit page for a more «full view» and editing that the edit page is for. of course: if you find yourself doing *a lot* of
editing in the edit page the editor keyboard is the tool you want for both pages, but if budget doesn’t allow for that using the speed editor together with a keyboard is a good backup solution for the edit page, a little bit clunkier but more budget friendly :) It’s all a process of figuring out what one needs and upgrading when budgets allow for it :)
@@AndreSjoberg Yeah I meant for the edit page, still not fully used to the cut page yet and keep defaulting to what I'm used to. TBF I do also have the Loopedeck controller so can use it on there. The editor keyboard I'm not that interested in due to the size and the fact that if you use custom keyboard shortcuts it defeats the point of buying it really. Plus I like the fact as I'm traveling a fair bit for shoots that I can \keep on top of client projects on the road with the speed editor
I use DVR as my video editor - it's a great piece of software. Thank you for this video, I never even used the Cut page before - super useful !
Hahahahaha, thanks man :) Editing on a DVR sounds like how I was editing music mixes back in the days on cassettes using a double deck cassette player to stop the music at the beat, find the next song, pause it on the beat and press play-record at the same time on both decks hopefully getting a beat mix ;) Not to mention hours of copying C64 games onto cheap Dixon chain branded cassettes obtained while on family vacation to the UK - good times indeed :)
The cut page is genuins for quick assemblies and quick cuts all around, and also for trimming down footage super fast, and together with a scroll wheel that’s super tactile it almost becomes fun :) Working on a new video right now that will deep dive into the cut page and speed editor and my preferred ways of workflow for it, and what types of editing is best suited for the cut page vs the edit page, and the speed editor vs the editor full featured keyboard with rotary wheel and some of the speed editor buttons in the side :)
Please make a video of your workflow with the speed editor.
Hey there :) Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) Shooting and editing is already underway on the workflow-video for the Speed Editor, so hopefully it will be done in 2-3 weeks time :) Always a challenge working on bigger videos while making smaller bite size stuff at the same time, but hopefully it wil be done sooner rather than later :)
I agree the speed editor / cut page combo while bringing footage in via source tape is such an efficient method of laying out the timeline . I just got the speed editor last August, and as I travel and make videos sometimes I just need to get the footage off my cameras, and get it on a time line in a rough cut form quickly the speed editor makes that process a lot faster and enjoyable.
Exactly what I’m talking about :) The right tool for the right job at the right time :) Getting those quick segments and parts down, some small b-roll edits in separate timelines, dropped in later in a bigger timeline, getting that raw material whittled down into managable chunks of video during a 10-15 minute break rather than chugging away at a huge timeline, then pieceing it all together in the edit page like one is supposed to - so much more managable and the speed editor is perfect for those quick little segments :) Thanks for watching and sharing your experience with the speed editor :)
I find it basically unusable for a single reason that could be solved so easily. When trying to cut your video to audio (music) you need at least one audio track to be untouched and unless they already fixed it, that will not play nice with ripple editing (especially ripple delete/trim) because it wont close the newly created gaps since the locked audio layer makes it technically not a gap.
Aaaaaah, yeah, that’s a very valid point indeed, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment :) I had the same problem myself and figured out a way to work that still gives me a lot of the benefits of the cut page / speed editor and using the dedicated keys on the editor, that works both in the cut page as well as the edit page.
What I do is use the «place on top» key instead of append, which when I do that it places the next video clip after the previous on top of the music track (which I’ve locked) (and having the «video only» button activated it only inserts video, not audio) and then building the video track that way.
And then, when doing a second or third pass, trimming and maybe inserting things you usually don’t want all the video after the spot you are editing in to move, since some of those clips might be synced already to other parts of the track, so I then use a combination of slip and roll and trim in/out and the move function to manipulate things around.
And ripple delete now *not* moving the whole track is actually a good thing, especially if I’ve done rough edit to the beat and are now editing certain parts or segments inside the edit.
That specific scenario is actually a really good topic for a followup video, since I do make edits to music tracks but often do the rough selection in the cut page and fine tune things later in the edit page using the techniques I described, thanks for the idea and thanks for watching and commenting :)
@@AndreSjoberg that sounds interesting. I have to give that a try. Thanks a lot. Yea that would be a good video. Id definitely watch that.
@@nitromusik9275 Cool :) Give it a try :) I had to spend a couple of hours just testing with several clips and pressing all the buttons pulling and pushing things around to see exactly which key did what and how clips behaved to then work out a workflow that felt good :)
I've become so used to editing with the Speed Editor, I have to occasionally remind myself what the keyboard shortcuts are for append, source, timeline etc. 😄 I love using it and it's insanely handy for editing sports!
I guess that’s why they made the editor keyboard for the edit page so we won’t have to remember ;) If only somebody could make a laptop with the full editor keyboard available on the side ;) Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your experience with the speed editor :)
Thank you. Very useful.
Thanks for watching :) More speed editor content coming up in 3-4 weeks :)
Excellent information that made me think of how I could edit better. I have a speed editor but typically use the speed dial in the edit page. A video on using the cut page and speed editor would also be very welcomed, as well as information on using the speed editor in the edit page. It does work with the 19 beta I have installed.. Thanks!
Hey :) Thanks for watching and commenting :) The followup video with real examples of working in both the cut page and edit page is already underway, it’ll probably be 3-4 weeks before it’s done and published, got some other videos that will go out first, but stay tuned and hopefully that video will provide some proper tips with practical examples for speeding up things in both the cut page and editing page :)
I knew it was gonna be an "André" way of unwrapping the package haha... Good luck with it!
Always ;) I’ll post a picture of the overhead cam rig I used to film it on the community page later, it’s … as expected ;)
Are there any modern versions of this available?
Like not with those mechanical keys that are super trendy rn..
I'd love one in slim line and matte black
Hi :) and thanks for watching and commenting :)
The Speed Editor *is* the modern version, (as in the *only* version) for use with davinci resolve and the cut page specifically, they do also have a full editing keyboard version as well for Resolve video editing, that has many of these keys and the wheel added on the side of a keyboard with color coded keys for important functions, but no slick black version I’m afraid - but I think one of the Loupedeck’s can be used with Davinci Resolve, it’s slightly different, with programmable keys and stuff, but haven’t tried it, try googling Louoedeck Pro Pack Davinci Resolve or search for it on youtube :)
it sucks because you cannot use SE for any other program! is there a reason BM locks the SE down??? would be so nice to use the SE for other programs like LightRoom, PhotoShop or even Premiere. i sold mine
Yeah, I totally understand that aspect, it would be nice for it to be a multi-software-device - but at the same time it is the «DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor», and Blackmagic make tools for their own software. Once you make a generic tool you will have loads of extra work and issues with making drivers, support different software plugins and buckets of more things to keep track off. It doesn’t make sense from a business perspective to go from making «complete package systems» to «generic controller surface»-manufacturer, it would just introduce a lot of noise :/
Why not show cut away of what you're talking about on the keyboard or screen?
There will be a followup video in 2-3 weeks going through everything with only examples and practical scenarios of using the editor + the cut page, this video is more about my experience with and findings from using the editor and the cut page, and how it changed my way of thinking :)
I’m curious how this will differ to the micro panel they are releasing next month
That’s a good question :) My understanding is the micro panel is primarily for color grading, nothing else - a very specific panel with the balls and other knobs and buttons focused on color grading in the color grading tab. So these two units will compliment each other, not replace or «fight» over the same functionality.
Thanks for the video, useful content. 👌I just got mine with studio version yesterday :) But before I was using for last 6 months friends speed editor, who bought studio verison, but never use it.
I totally understand what you are saying. It was always for me the same. Pain in the ass to go through all the material befor start editing. Now I am just speeding through and collect all the best clips in one timeline. And after I am using timeline to timeline workflow to edit videos. Much, much more fun than before.
So, i would really apreciated it, if you can show your workflow in cut page. I didnt really take whole advantage of speed editor jet.
Hey :) Thanks for watching and commenting sharing your experience with the editor :) I'll get started on a workflow video for sure, got some other videos in the pipeline first it'll probably be 3-4 weeks before it's out, stay tuned :)
@@AndreSjoberg no problem, time is flying also for me. 😉 I will take more time now, for getting use to this thing :) I just subricribed to your chanel, so I will stay tuned anyway. Keep up with good work 👍
@tinemazgon Great, thanks :)
Was Hoping to see an EXAMPLE of you DOING not Talking Wasted my time SORRY.
Slow down sir :)
There will be a followup video with *just editing and workflow examples*, but that video wouldn’t have made *any* sense without this video first explaining the thinking behind *why* I think the speed editor is a good product, and why I think it forces one to work in a way that is more productive and more efficient :)
And combining the two videos would make for a *waaaay* too long video I’m afraid, as well as time constraints.
So if you thought the approach to using the speed editor and the cut page and what hou can gain from it *sounds* like a good idea, the followup video should probably be to your liking :)
What I’m working on specifically is taking a practical approach, so instead of just showing each feature and key and what it does (like many do on youtube, not really showing why, just *how*) we’ll edit a small «music video» hopefully covering all bases from start to finish with a couple of passes with shot selection and a rough draft, fine tuning the draft and cutting it in time to the music, using just the keys available on the speed editor as much as possible to cover all functions :)
Waiting with Antisipation so I just SUBBED Boss@@AndreSjoberg
cant wait for you to upload you editing with real footage.
same. Not showing anything : 10 minutes.
@@k1k13004 Hi and thanks for watching :) Like I explained in my previous answer, this video is about *why* I think it’s good, the followup video is coming in 1-2 weeks time with *only* examples, both in the cut page and edit page :) Combining this video with the actuall workflow would have resulted in a *way* too long video for lost people, so stay tuned, the follow up will be check full of a to z of examples and workflow tips :)
Please make a video showing exactly how to use the Speed Editor.
Thanks for watching and commenting :) More in depth video is in the works :) There have been several commenters asking about this, and specific scenarios as well, so it’ll hopefully be a comprehensive one, probably will take 2-3 weeks to put it all together and publish :)
@@AndreSjoberg Subbed in the hope to see this video appear in my feed :)
@@BBennie444 Great, thanks :) I’m still such a small channel and very grateful for the enthusiasm, so when I upload the video I’ll probably go back to these comments and let everybody that expressed an interest know when it’s live by commenting :)
All right, I think I'll buy it... What have you done!? :D Yes, do a video about cut page + speed editor process itself.
Hahaha, thanks for watching and commenting :) Does this mean I’ll have to get affiliate links and stuff going for this channel now as well? It’ll do a followup video for sure on using the editor and the cut page together going over as many scenarios and use cases as possible to exemplify things :)
Yes, do a video showing how you edit in the cut page. Without examples, is difficult to understand your points. (And ask your parents for a cheap teleprompter; reading your script in to the camera makes a great difference)
Liked and subscribed!
Hahaha, yeah ;) You’re the first to notice/comment on the script part ;) I’m just doing a lot of experimenting in these first videos, this video was the first I did with a script hanging next to the camera, was a bit short on time and didn’t have the time to do all the extra takes I usually do to learn the «script» by heart and improvise as I record, so lot’s of looking to the side on this one ;) Thanks for taking the time to comment, and I’ll do a follow up on how I use the editor and the cut page to choo things together, it’ll be a couple of weeks, probably 3-4 before I can get it done, but I’ll make one for sure, and no script hanging on the side for it ;) Have a great day :)
@@AndreSjoberg hey! After this, I watched your video on the key lighting. It was great, and I could see this was your first time reading a script. Your natural self is great on camera, and it is great to experiment with reading; your not bad at it!
As a professional colorist and DoP, I can tell your approach is refreshing. And I also do roller derby, so don't let the skates part out!
@gordinirojo Thanks for those kind words :) And big ups for doing Roller Derby :) The skates and the shop will feature more in the future, not leaving them out :) And this channel is basically me documenting me learning to do videos, so I can make proper informational videos for my quad skate shop about everything from cleaning bearings and tuning skates to building custom quads from sneakers, which I’ve been doing for almost 10 years, and the shop itself I started it over 11 years ago :) Which derby league are you connected to btw?
I just want the license, i never feel the need for this expensive Interdases😅
They do sell the license separately :)
@@AndreSjoberg yep :)
@VinciAndresBelalcazarYabur But: once the workload starts increasing beyond a certain point and speed becomes a factor of hours pr. week … ;)
Show. Don’t tell.
Showing comes in the next video :) Working on a full video going through practical scenarios using all the keys with the wheel :) This was just a «primer» for what the speed editor made me realize in terms of changing up my editing approach :)
