I just picked up the Editor keyboard. Very happy to have found this video!
3yrs on and this video is still hugely helpful, I have the Editor Keyboard and found this video super useful, thanks!
What we called the Jog dial has come back to us. In the days of editing linearly on Betacam decks, you used its big Jog dial. In one mode, a sweep of the video with what I call 'coasting', meaning a quick twist and the video would keep moving on release with momentum and and then slow down. Push in and click on the Jog dial, and it would precisely position the video. With two Betacam machines, you could do a cut fast. I know. I've cut more than a few news stories to lead the NBC Nightly News broadcast using that Jog dial. Once, I had set up to edit in Little Rock, Arkansas for a piece on the presidential election in 1992. I'm editing as fast as possible and New York could see what I was doing because the record machine was hooked to a live satellite feed. Five minutes before broadcast, they wanted one word, 'the', taken out of the edit! Put the edited story in the source machine, dub to the record machine to just beyond the word to be removed, back up on the record machine to just before the word to be removed, back up the source machine to just after the word to be removed, and do an assemble edit. Continue dubbing to the end. Now, go back to the word removal and fix the shot there. Rewind to the 2-pop and roll knowing they're recording in NY. *whew*. Made it by a hair. But only because that Jog dial gave us the speed we needed.
Wow, thanks for sharing that story Don! Sounds like a pressure-cooker of a job!
That just took me back to 3/4 tape to tape!
It would be good if you could make a full crashcourse of the keyboard. The one right now is good, but i am sure there is a lot more you can do with it
I recently purchased the Blackmagic keyboard and have now learned from watching your video on how to effectively use it!! Thank you so much!!
awesome!
Yes! This video is exactly what I needed. I don't regret purchasing this keyboard considering I use it every day and is just a joy to type on. Definitely learned a few new tricks watching it.
Hello Mark,
are you still using the keyboard? I had the speed editor for few days and decided to replace it with the keyboard.
@@uzibatish172 Still use the keyboard with Davinci. But decided to get a 2nd Keyboard for Blender as the Resolve Numpad wasn’t passing all the numpad keys properly.
Great stuff. As relevant today as it was three years ago. Thanks.
Thanks for the only in depth review and the best one I've seen so far on the web. I have a post production house in Lima Peru and have been using resolve for color grading since version 9 and just about a year and a bit more started editing in it too, and as soon as I saw this keyboard i couldn't wait to get it. Im now waiting for it to arrive and your review has sure helped me see even more things i like about it. Thanks again.
funny, every video i see about this keyboard i see one or two of these comments.. :-)
Glad to see this. I've been looking at these. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this video. I've had this keyboard for a while now and I am just now starting to try and use it for it's intended purposes.
Excellent review, Resolve is really gaining my intrest I can't wait to see what fcpx 10.5 will offer.
Thanks, great tutorial, i just got the keyboard for my new edit suite. Its a great bit of kit and definitely speeds up edits. It came with Davinci Resolve 18 Studio which was was fantastic. I do find the keys are very loud and a bit disappointed that there are no backlights on the keys for editing in a dark room. Overall it's a really good keyboard.
Awesome tutorial, Thanks very much.
Thanks for the knowledge! Watching you has helped me make my choice! I’m not only purchasing Davinci Resolve.. but the keyboard as well for my own music video editing! 🙌🏼
it comes with it!
Really well explain, thank you.
Thanks for the review. I am currently migrating from FCPX to Resolve... Tired of round tripping and the influx of BRAW, is making me learn yet another edit system... The keyboard reminds me of the olde BKE 9400, can't wait for Blackmagic to add PF keys...ha ha ha.
Even 3 years down, the video is very much informative and clears doubt if someone is planning for speed editor. Both have their pros and cons and needless of the size and price editor's keyboard is more intuitive and offers more bang for the buck ,needless to mention additional mechanical keyboard you are getting and the studio edition of da Vinci.
wow love this video .... thank you!!
Great Video, I just bought it as bundled with Studio V19. Not a heavy editor but I was very impressed with the Speed editor so I sold that and upgraded to this. Time will tell if a wise decision….
this is why i love youtube. you saved me from tossing the keyboard. thank you
if you dont want it ill take it.
oh so you got tossing money
I got one Steve as I am doing more and more in Davinci these days. I was surprised how quick my muscle memory dialled into the keys and actions and it really does save time! I like it a lot...i didn't like the price...but for me time is money and its paying back already. Its not going to suit the occasional user unfortunately because of the price but I doubt this is where BMD were targeting. If you're in Davinci a lot I would highly recommend.
I still think it's overpriced, but it really is a great, we'll built product that works flawlessly.
It actually makes sense since black magic makes money from hardware not software. Resolve is basically their ad. I believe you also get a studio license with the keyboard.
Love your videos, Steve! I think it is now around $595, USD. I just wish it were backlit!!!
Hi Steve. I am new to your channel and let me say, fantastic work explaining the use of this editing keyboard. I am definitively going to buy this editing keyboard and I think it will be great along with the BMD Resolve Mini Panel.
And I will also get your Resolve 16 Essentials Bundle Course!
Steve and Mark. I love your tutorials, and have purchased many!! Would you please consider making a tutorial on THIS PARTICULAR KEYBOARD?!?! I purchased it in part due to your glowing recom, but feel I need additional training with it (not the speed editor, which you already do have a course for), and was hoping Ripple Training would step up?! Thank you and looking forward to hearing back on this.
I sold my keyboard awhile ago once the speed editor came out. I prefer the smaller footprint of the speed editor. Even if I retained it, I'm not sure I would do a tutorial on it. Unlike the Speed Editor that requires knowledge of the Cut Page. The full size keyboard is created for the Edit Page and does not need explanations if you are already familiar with the Edit Page commands. For example, there are keys for insert edits, overwrites, ripple trims and rolling trims to name a few. If you don't know what these tools do in the Edit Page then the keyboard will likely not benefit you. If you are already using the Edit Page fluently using a mouse, all the keys will make perfect sense for when and how you might use them.
@@rippleguys thank you. Not the exact answer I was expecting, but as a noobie to resolve, I purchased your course on its fundamentals, which I am sure will help. I will just have to watch the course on the speed editor, and try to adapt the things that do apply to the editor full keyboard. I am tempted to send you mine, just so the world can have one of Ripple Training’s Best in class tutorials on a piece of equipment, that frankly has no authoritative tutorial…yet.
Now that it's $400 less expensive in the US and includes a Resolve Studio license I finally decided to get this thing. I'm really looking forward to learning to use it.
Same with me... the time is right.
How do you like the keyboard? Would you prefer it over the speed editor?
@@uzibatish172I do prefer the keyboard over the speed editor.
Honestly the most irritating thing is the requirement to press the fn key to access the f number keys.
So in order to do alt f4, you have to press fn then alt and f4 at the same time.
This also applies to the delete key, instead of a dedicated key for it, instead you do fn and then press the delete button where it would normally say “backspace”.
So it adds an extra button to many of what would normally be one.
Other than that, it’s a great keyboard, although my spacebar is a bit mushy (that might just be mine however)
I also love the sleek metal design, and the fact it comes with two additional usb ports. (One of which I use for the Davinci Dongle)
I do lots of editing for myself, and I don’t mind spending the additional cost for a smoother and more efficient experience.
This is one of my main hobbies, and not my job, so I couldn’t give the best advice, but as someone who’ve used both the speed editor and the editors keyboard, I prefer the keyboard as it has all of the functionality of the smaller unit build into a nice full keyboard frame.
Also I recommend a monitor light for the keyboard as it lacks backlights (I use the Ben Q halo screen bar if you wanted my recommendation)
great video, as always... question... the undo key on that keyboard is mapped to command C, which is the copy command function, how can I remaped it to undo?
This video was very helpful. Just wondering why auto color button in not working for me. nothing happen when I press it. greatly appreciate your input on this.thanks in advance.
Like Don Smith, I have had much time editing with jog wheels and I love them. However, I'm left handed. Right now I'm using an old Avid Media Composer keyboard that is color-coded with functional symbols for each key, but like the one you're reviewing, the Avid colored keyboard becomes virtually useless when one decides to custom change the keyboard shortcuts. I guess the question I'm asking is: At the price of this product, do they make one for lefties? I'm not so concerned about the keyboard's QWERTY portion (because I think the original Avid layout of its keyboard favors a left hander)--but rather a DaVinci keyboard that has the jog wheel, and keys above it, on the left side. By the way, I always look forward to your uploads, you do a great job of explaining things.
Thank you so much Keith
I saw that there is a Slip/Slide toggle key on the keyboard (S). Does this affect the Slip Source (or Slip Destination) function that is on the left of the keyboard ?
thanks for the video. i was under the impression that in jog mode, there would be some kind of force feedback or resistance in the dial. is that not the case? i only seem to feel a mechanical aspect in shtl mode. anyone response would be appreciated!
Even if it means saving time I can carry this thing along on trips for daily edits.😊
Good to find this video, excellent, I just bought the keyboard and I am using it, I personally do not use the cut page I use more edit, I would like to take more advantage of the keyboard, I hope they do update, to optimize it more using it in EDIT like what in cut
Most of the features of the keyboard work in the Edit page - only a few are cut page specific
You should give the Cut page a whirl, Mariano. I use it to lay down a really quick rough cut, then move to the edit page to make all the finer adjustments, add audio, etc.
Very impressive sir. I would like to use one of these one day. (:
I was surprised how much I liked this keyboard!
Your Yeti microphone is a side address mic, not a top address one.
So unless it’s sitting there as a prop, and your sound comes from a boom mic out of frame, you’d be better off having it upright than pointing at you directly.
The audio was excellent, mind you.
A the overall content was awesome.
Steve - LOVE your stuff, and just bought the newer tutorials on Ripple Training about Divinci Resolve and even the speed editor, to see if I could use some of the techniques you show towards the purchase of my new keyboard, which was (in part) - because of you and this video. Could you please do a similar short course in Ripple Training on the keyboard, too? 🙏🏻❤️👊🏻😁
I would but I sold the keyboard. I don't need a speed editor and a full size keyboard. Also, I prefer the smaller footprint of the speed editor.
@@rippleguys Wow, Steve. Thanks for the reply. You sold the keyboard! I wish I would have known BEFORE I just bought mine!😂🤔…anyway, I wanted to purchase the Divinci Resolve Studio, and now I am wondering if I should purchase the iPad studio version, for $100?? Ha. Decisions, decisions! Either way, I love Ripple Training for all my tutorials, which are so important…gonna look at the Streaming OBS one I own from Ripple but haven’t viewed much yet. Take care, Bud and thanks again.
@@scottabergermd If you feel compelled to edit on an iPad - I prefer a laptop -You could use the free version of Resolve on your Mac and the $100 version on your iPad and have both.
@@rippleguys thanks Steve. I just did it (bought the Studio version of Resolve for the iPad). I did it after watching YT videos showing that you had to buy that even if you owned a studio desktop version (unfortunately). But is unlocks all the special effects, etc. I am loving the training for it. It really has such potential, especially if I can wrap my brain around “Nodes and editing in them!” I’m looking forward to learning it. Thanks my friend,
Can anyone who owns this measure the part of the keyboard that can be countersunk into a desk? The outside measurements are listed on Blackmagic's website but not the 'hole size' required to mount it. I would like to know before purchasing the keyboard. Thanks!!
Hi Steve, I just switched to the Editor Keyboard from the Speed Editor, and revisited your Speed Editor course that I purchased a while back. I'm wondering now if you happen to know what has become of LIve-Override on this keyboard. I liked that feature on the speed editor and was hoping it would be on the keyboard as well. Thanks!
They are two different keyboard serving diffefent purposes. You won't find that feature, because that keyboard was designed for the Edit page, before the Cut Page even existed (and it's hardware brethren the Speed Editor).
@@rippleguys ah okay. Thanks.
Great tutorial ! However, I have a problem. When I exit the shuttle mode and enter in jog or scroll mode, the wheel sometimes makes a creacking sound when I rotate it. Does yours do that too ?
I'm not sure what you mean and I have no way to test since I sold my keyboard. The wheel should not make any noise when you turn it.
can you use in fcpx???
I just bought the editor keyboad and love it, I hope to get an answer to my question about the F/TC key. Everytine I press is to get to a certain location on a mediapool clip via timecode, the number field switches to frame count, in other words everytime I press the F/TC key it defaults to frame count. I have right clicked on the number field to change it back ti tC display, but it seems to switch back to frame count. How can that be fixed?
Have no idea. I sold my keyboard and use only the Speed Editor now. I would try posting this question to the blackmagic forum -
Thank you Steve.
How about speed editor keyboard
I have been trying to create a "poor mans" Davinci keyboard editor using a regular keyboard and a shuttle device. I don't know if it is even possible though. How were you doing similar editing before you had the keyboard, especially the part where you hold down a key and use the search dial? Is it even possible?
I would absolutely love to be able to hold down trim in and out and roll a knob. Haven't found a way to do that yet
I have the keyboard. I love the keyboard.
But if, like me, you’re not a touch typist. The absence of backlit keys makes it nearly impossible to use in a darkened studio. Which, let’s face it, most of them are. I had to buy a usb gooseneck light to illuminate the keys so I could enter comments etc. but even then, the actual QWERTY letters printed on the keys are tiny - making way for the function labels, so any editing time saved was lost again as I pecked around trying to do “normal” typing of file names, sub clip names etc.
In the end, I have TWO keyboards. This and the apple for regular typing. One in font of the other. Madness.
The ultimate solution would be for BMD to copy the Elgato’s Streamdeck principle of LED keys that display whatever you want them to. Toggle between QWERTY, edit, organize, delivery, color... and all I’m a dark room.
The jog wheel is the best thing ever. Keep that but change everything else.
Hi! Is it possible to move a clip in the timeline but without swapping it ? There is a button on the Speed editor that does exactly this.
No, you can only swap the clips.
@@rippleguys Thanks for the response. This is too bad...I feel that move would be way more useful than swap.
is the auto color function available in Edit page too ?
yes it works in both
if i do ONE video edit a week for 48 weeks a year, this keyboard costs me $145 per edit.
More than likely, I'd be doing about three-5 videos per week...so that's about a $4 per video investment.
Practical and affordable, IMHO
good breakdown. I'm working on a tutorial for the new speed editor that does alot of what this one does for 300 bucks.
@@rippleguys when does the speed editor tutorial coming..iam waiting to order one after knowing about it?
Is this customisable ?
Yes, in Resolve there's a keyboard editor, you can assign whatever command you want to whatever key - but that kind of defeats the purpose of a keyboard that has hard-coded commands printed on them no?
@@rippleguys printed names, are less important than fact, that for example I don't use source window in edit page. Thank You.
Nice keyboard, but *THE PRICE IS NOT RIGHT* I can get a laptop with that price
I think the sweet spot should be $499 -
Camera B crossed the 180, and the eyeline was bizarre. No keyboard can fix bad camerawork.
Haha!
I wish everyone would stop harping on the price. I don’t look at it as a keyboard rather another Blackmagic control panel. The cheapest color grading panel is a grand with a lot less functionality and let’s not talk about the fairlight panels. Look at it this way, now the cut page had its own panel which also works OK in the edit page. Whether or not it saves time it’s just another great product by Blackmagic, don’t think twice just get one.
