@@CreativeVideoTips i have my self a good experience with the Speed editor: i am already using it daily since the end of january and i fully read the user manual and i was really surprised to find a such good explanation on youtube (usually i have very low consideration for youtube tutorials). Nice work!
@@blender_wiki I appreciate you big time. If you like stuff you won’t find in the manual you’ll love the video for next week. I can’t wait to get that one done and posted Tuesday.
John - thank you so much. I'm glad they are helpful. I certainly don't plan on stopping. I'm curious - are you primarily working in Resolve or do you dabble in other creative or editing applications too?
@@CreativeVideoTips I’m currently using Resolve and Premiere but I’m about to leave Adobe and stick with Resolve. Their recent update is quite substantial in 17 and the speed editor comes with the perpetual license.
@@johnpaullalu I think you'll be super happy once you get familiar with how a few things work differently. Very cool. Next week's video is about pulling selects in different ways (one way is just like you could do in Premiere) - definitely, watch for that.
Thanks Keith. I'm right alongside you learning it. I really appreciate the encouragement. There are so many things I'm digging about the new way of working. (still a few things a miss of course too, but figuring those out)
When I bought studio 17 w/ the speed editor. I was like “that’s cool, basically a free lil keyboard doohicky”! It arrived and I luckily found your content, now I’m like “praise all the gods this is sooooooooooo much faster and precise”. As a newbie it allows me to focus on learning other tabs and features....I’m grateful for your content!!!!!
Great info! My copy of Studio with the Speed Editor was on backorder for months, and I finally got it on Friday! I sat down to get started, and immediately realized I had no idea what I was doing with this new device. Great information, really helped me understand how to use it, especially the Slip feature which I had never used before.
In the middle of a big edit and love bouncing on to your videos every now and again to make sure I'm getting the most from my speed editor. Always come away with at least 3 new learnings. Totally didn't know about the cam1, 2 and 3 buttons selecting layers and think I finally understand the slip function after I don't know how long :-D Thanks Chadwick!
Happy to hear that Matt! Slip is really a great way to fine tune a cut - its funny I still remember the first time I remember an editor showing me how to do that in person back on Final Cut Pro 3. I couldn't believe how long I'd edited before know how to use that.
I got a speed editor a few weeks back. It’s made such a difference in my workflow. I feel like I actually want to edit, it makes even menial tasks fun!
Thanks for another video Chadwick. Short and sweat. I’m finding the speed editor has a lot of nuance - so your videos are a great help. When you get used to the different trim functions - it really helps you get what you want. Steve
Thanks Chris. Hey I’m curious - if you had one thing you wish the speed editor could do but it doesn’t or you’re not sure how to - what would it be? Thanks so much for watching!
I was thinking about ithis whilst editing my last video. There are still quite a few buttons I don't use such as the Audio Level (although do use Mark) and Trans/Title buttons. I think I need to really dig into all the buttons more as I'm sure my work flow could be sped up greatly.
I'm shooting and editing videos very causally, like every few weeks/months. As a result, I keep forgetting what SE can do or even how to use it properly so that it does not slow me down as opposed to using mouse in the Edit Page. Your tutorials are possibly best ones I've seen for Speed Editor so far.
Thanks so much for this, Chadwick! I just purchased a speed editor and your clear and concise tutorials are guiding me through the learning curve. I do have one frustration in that I’m running Davinci Studio 19.01 and I don’t seem to have the “audio trim” button which you point out in this video and seems like a great feature. All I seem to have in that space where I would expect to find the button are “ripple on,” “split clip,” and “add marker.” As a relative newbie to DaVinci, maybe you, or any of your viewers, can help me figure out why I’m not seeing that button. Thanks!
I love watching all these tutorials because I learn so much. I hate watching all these tutorials because I am waiting on my Speed Editor to show up!!!! Great tutorial as always!
Apparently, I watched this before, but without paying adequate attention. I apologize. Your pace was excellent. Video length excellent. Clarity, my most important measure, was excellent. I created a new saved Speed Editor playlist since I want to be able to find this and similar videos for rewatching. Thank you.
Great focus! Thank You Chad! I have realized this fast logic to remember the various edits key: - the Upper line edit section trim and move Edit Points - the Lower line (slip source and destination) slip the Content
Hey Ian - that is so cool! I'm glad this tutorial has helped save you time. I really appreciate you taking a moment to watch, my list is super long of upcoming Resolve tips so stay tuned.
I just got my speed editor and this video was exactly what I needed. You showed us some great uses of the editor and took me back to what I had forgotten I learned in Avid Media Composer. Thanks!
Great video, I just ordered the bundle and am super excited about getting the speed editor. I'm hoping it helps with carpal tunnel as the mouse is killing my wrist. Also, I scrolled down thinking you'd be at 300K+ subs, your production quality is top notch.
Ah sweet! I think you're going to enjoy using it and yep anything you can do to mix it up will help with your wrist. Thanks for the encouragement on the channel - it's tough to get youtube to start to surface content - but just you commenting today helps a lot :)
The only other thing I'd add here is the Trim in and trim out - map that to Q and W in the keyboard customization. I found this has increased the efficiency by a fair bit. I think it's also called trimming tops and tails.
@@CreativeVideoTips Yeah I thought Adobe premiere was the pinnacle of video editing. Honestly though over the years it's become way too expensive for just someone that wants to create some home videos and an odd client video on the side. Actually also considered video editing as a bit of a chore sometimes compared to this new speed editor. It's just something about it that makes you want to edit. The cut page is very innovative for the prosumer market. I can see it being even more valuable editing short films etc. p.s. One great thing you've pointed out was to only look at rubbish footage once - and to create bins for the HQ footage you actually want to use in the timeline. I think that will save me a ton of time when I get back to editing short films and different takes etc. I just used to shuffle through 10 mins of garbage to find a 10 second bit I needed, ten times throughout the hour ahah
Your tutorials helped me a lot, especially the Speed Editor videos. One question: Do you know why the Speed Editor doesn't ripple clips (in + out) anymore in my timeline after a lot of editing work? (leaving gaps or overwriting the next clip) - For a test I added a new timeline in the same project and put in some clips from the Media Pool and there it worked as shown in your tutorial.
Bro, thanks for your vids. Shocked when I saw how low your sub count is. you should be in the 10s if not 100's of thousands. I think I video explaining why the Sync bin only works with Waveform if your camera metadata says it was shot on the same day and how to fix that would help so many people! took a night of deep internet browsing to figure out why it wasn't working for me! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for your kind words and watching. It’s the long game with CZcams and I’m just getting going and this is motivating. (Been editing 20 years but relatively new to posting tips) Good idea about sharing this about sync bin. It sure can be more finicky then it seems it needs to be. One thing that is great when you use things like live overwrite and sync bin is a more fluid back and forth between color and editing without needing to break down a traditional Multicam clip.
@@CreativeVideoTips thanks for replying! Another cool video idea could be doing certain tasks in cut page vs edit page from an experience d guy like yourself. And how the speed editor changes that workflow! Big fan!
Super useful ! And great examples to demonstrate what each function does. Thanks a lot !! Short question: Is there a smart & fast way to "insert a little bit of empty space" in the timeline right were the playhead is ?
Great tutorial! Is there away to Trim In without having the playhead move back equivalent to the length that was trimmed away? I always have to scrub forward after each longer Trim In. Thanks in advance!
Your tutorials have made my life so much easier coming from Final Cut. The biggest issue I'm having with the speed editor in the cut page is with multiple video tracks. I like having my track one be my "dialogue / story." I then enjoy having my second track be my b roll segments. I can't figure out how to make resolve focus on track 2 and work similarly to a magnetic timeline in final cut, like track 1 works in the cut page. It's driving me crazy. Would you be able to make a video about using resolve and multiple tracks in the cut page with a speed editor?
Editor Keyboard HELP? I purchased the DVR Editor Keyboard instead of the Speed Editor (possibly a big mistake). I can not find ANY documentation for the product. Emailed Black Magic support - no response. My biggest PROBLEM is tht I have not discovered how to select the clip that the playhead is on and that I want to Edit/Trim. I have to grab the mouse and select the clip. Now that I have my hand on the mouse might as well just edit/trim with that. Selection Follows Playhead does not seem to work on the cut page. ???
I can’t find the Audio Trim icon so I’m thinking maybe at any point they change it on a certain version. I’m I wrong? I would like so much to turn it on
Found your video very helpful. I do have one question, I am unsure of the function of the "CUT" key (lower left conner), just do not find that it does anything. Last question can the type of dissolve be assigned to the "DIS" key?
This is gold. Is there a function for play from start on the Speed Editor? I'm finding myself pressing scroll or shuttle, rewinding the entire clip, then pressing the play bar. Can't this be done with one key press?
I think they overlooked the need for this. What you are doing using scroll is how I go back to the start of the timeline. If you are just wanting to review after a trim - you want to use the red Full View/Review button - it's a double tap.
@@CreativeVideoTips Thanks. Just figured out the down arrow on my regular keyboard toggles start or end of clip. Bit of an oversight here from DaVinci when one button should be able to do the same on the Speed Editor. Doesn't feel right rolling the scroll like the Wheel of Fortune just to play from start.
You must be using a different version than the 18 I have because holding the button in cut or media mode doesn't even work for trim. Also, the split button when pressed only once as you do in the video doesn't cut right after I press the ripl del, I had to press split in two different points then ripl del.
Hey Chadwick! I'm so happy I found your channel (well YT found and pointed me there...) at any rate, before the Speed Editor I re-mapped a few keys so that F1 was CUT and F2 was RIPPLE START TO PLAYHEAD. CTRL+SHFT+[ can you do that with the Speed Editor?
Hey Stephen! I'm so glad youtube served it up for you and you're finding it helpful. You can't remap any keys on the speed editor - I wish you could. Your cut button is actually on there though - it's called "split" in the upper middle section. And there isn't a function like top/tail or ripple start to playhead on the speed editor like you can do with the regular keys - they want you to move the search dial to trim.
@@CreativeVideoTips thanks for the quick reply! It looks like I can still use the speed editor jog wheel and F1 F2 custom shortcuts in the edit page. Sweet. Keep up the great videos!
Hey Chadwick, are there any tricks when trimming a multicamera timeline on the cut page? I'm splitting the audio at each edit point where there are gaps in the dialogue so the video remains synchronized when I ripple it, but figured there may be a way to lock them together so I don't have to hit the split key so often. Thank you for the tips as always!
Hmm, I don't trim regular Multicam in the cut page often, but it sounds like what would help is to make sure you audio and video are linked. you can select both, right click and choose link clips at the bottom - this should give you a chain link which marries the clips when linked selection is turned on (the chain link icon) between the timeline and the viewer in the edit page.
hi! your videos are super helpful. i have a question. how do you ripple delete with audio track locked in? say for music video types of edit? as of now, if you ripple delete - the gap stays in cut page. if you do it in normal edit page with audio locked in - it ripple deletes with no problem.
@@CreativeVideoTips Thanks. My research has led me to the same conclusions, which limits multi track editing capabilities with the speed editor, unfortunately
@@UHStudio yeah - at least its just a click away to get that functionality in the edit page - but I would like to see simple things like this added to the cut page.
I have upgraded to Studio17.2 and speed editor was working fine. the software said there was speed editor update I did update now speed editor will connect to bluetooth but will not turn on or work on bluetooth. If I plug in usb it turns on and seems to work. when I remove the cable to try and use speed editor with bluetooth davinci resolve will crash? Anyone recieved fix for this problem? Or can I roll Back to previous version of speed editor software?
I found the same thing after the update. Don't worry it's not broken. You need to remove your device from your bluetooth lists (on a mac i think they call it forget the device). After that plug it in open resolve - then pair it again. After this new pairing you should be able to edit without the cable.
Hi Chadwick, very good videos you've delivered. Please answer the following question. What is the pressure function of the rotary knob for? Would be nice if you could explain that to a German fan. Greetings Sebast
Me too! But yep, most of the functions are documented in the reference manual that you can find if you pull down the help menu. They certainly don't have everything in there but it is a REALLY good resource and well written!
@@CreativeVideoTips I've tried so many times still deleted everything to the right. I think I seen someone mention in and out points but I don't get it.
Before I commit to purchasing this Device, do these trimming functions on your excellent Video work in the edit page? I am aware certain things work in the Cut Page, that don't work in the Edit page .. but I can't find confirmation if the things you specifically covered here, work in the Edit page. No massive issue if it doesn't, I will just have to get used to using the Cut Page which to be honest, I have veered away from since using DR. I am much more comfortable in the Edit page. thanks for the Video !! either way VERY useful ! Sorry one final question, is there a way to do a blade cut through all items where the play head is using this Speed Editor? ie: the CMD B key shortcut?
I ordered one and got it delivered via our friend Amazon Prime, and happy to say it cuts through all of the multiple layers just like the CMD B shortkey, now THAT is useful !!! I saw your other Video on the long presses too, so I will have to train my brain to remember all these things. I don't do this all day every day, but just this split button through all layers is awesome enough !! :)
This will happen if it’s a clip not on track 1 or there is secondary audio. This is maintain sync relationships. Is it possible that is what’s happening?
The only bug I’ve experienced is using the mark button on the speed editor with the triple tap to jump in and type notes into it that after doing this once it locked up the software and it needs a relaunch. It opens with nothing lost and I’m not sure if this has to do with the fact my keyboard is also Bluetooth. Overall I’ve been very happy with 17.
@@CreativeVideoTips Thanks. Very cool. I have DR17 and the spped editor combo pre oredered with B&H.... .. I suspect the piblic release is going to be good and solid.
I have watched many of your tutorials. This is the first one, that was not clear to me. I just got my speed editor, and I am very frustrated. I do not get it. This tutorial was not useful for a beginner like me.

Also, the split button when pressed only once as you do in the video doesn't cut right after I press the ripl del, I had to press split in two different points then ripl del.
My cut page does not have the Audio Trim toggle - any idea how to get it back??? Seems like it would be soooo useful.
Hey Chadwick! I'm so happy I found your channel (well YT found and pointed me there...) at any rate, before the Speed Editor I re-mapped a few keys so that F1 was CUT and F2 was RIPPLE START TO PLAYHEAD. CTRL+SHFT+[ can you do that with the Speed Editor?
Hey Stephen! I'm so glad youtube served it up for you and you're finding it helpful. You can't remap any keys on the speed editor - I wish you could. Your cut button is actually on there though - it's called "split" in the upper middle section. And there isn't a function like top/tail or ripple start to playhead on the speed editor like you can do with the regular keys - they want you to move the search dial to trim.
@@CreativeVideoTips thanks for the quick reply! It looks like I can still use the speed editor jog wheel and F1 F2 custom shortcuts in the edit page. Sweet. Keep up the great videos!
@@W0KNI perfect! I'll keep making them if you keep watching :)
I can not find my audio trim button to the left of the timeline it is not there. How can I make this icon show up or find it?
is it possible to change clips pisition on v2 without overwritting the other clips?
Hey Chadwick, are there any tricks when trimming a multicamera timeline on the cut page? I'm splitting the audio at each edit point where there are gaps in the dialogue so the video remains synchronized when I ripple it, but figured there may be a way to lock them together so I don't have to hit the split key so often. Thank you for the tips as always!
Hmm, I don't trim regular Multicam in the cut page often, but it sounds like what would help is to make sure you audio and video are linked. you can select both, right click and choose link clips at the bottom - this should give you a chain link which marries the clips when linked selection is turned on (the chain link icon) between the timeline and the viewer in the edit page.
hi! your videos are super helpful. i have a question. how do you ripple delete with audio track locked in? say for music video types of edit? as of now, if you ripple delete - the gap stays in cut page. if you do it in normal edit page with audio locked in - it ripple deletes with no problem.
oh, ok. apprently its a bug with speed editor that has not being adressed for ages.
Nice video! Is there a way to split a single clip when there are multiple clips stacked on top of one another?
Only in the edit page. This can be done there by using track locks or selectors. But not in the cut page without taking hands off the speed editor.
@@CreativeVideoTips Thanks. My research has led me to the same conclusions, which limits multi track editing capabilities with the speed editor, unfortunately
@@UHStudio yeah - at least its just a click away to get that functionality in the edit page - but I would like to see simple things like this added to the cut page.
I have upgraded to Studio17.2 and speed editor was working fine. the software said there was speed editor update I did update now speed editor will connect to bluetooth but will not turn on or work on bluetooth. If I plug in usb it turns on and seems to work. when I remove the cable to try and use speed editor with bluetooth davinci resolve will crash? Anyone recieved fix for this problem? Or can I roll Back to previous version of speed editor software?
I found the same thing after the update. Don't worry it's not broken.
You need to remove your device from your bluetooth lists (on a mac i think they call it forget the device). After that plug it in open resolve - then pair it again. After this new pairing you should be able to edit without the cable.
Thanks for your videos. Is it possible to do an asymmetrical trim with Speed Editor?
I don't think so. That would be cool if there was a modifier way to do that.
Hi Chadwick, very good videos you've delivered. Please answer the following question. What is the pressure function of the rotary knob for? Would be nice if you could explain that to a German fan. Greetings Sebast
Hey Sebast. Good question. Unfortunately though, pushing in on the knob actually does nothing. Seems like a missed opportunity by Black Magic.
@@CreativeVideoTips Thank you. This is funny ;-).
how do i cut, like cltr x or non riple delete
This video is free? Wild
Great video! I'm having a hard time understand how this thing would speed up my editing. Seems very one dimensional
After using over a year, I’d just say that it makes it fun to switch things up. It’s not faster or slower than my keyboard and mouse. Just different.
Is this all documented somewhere? I have this damn thing and keep learning hidden functions of the buttons. Thanks
Me too! But yep, most of the functions are documented in the reference manual that you can find if you pull down the help menu. They certainly don't have everything in there but it is a REALLY good resource and well written!
I'm getting frustrated lol. Why after I split clip and then ripple delete it deletes entire timeline?
Oh no. It should only delete the clip you’re over.
@@CreativeVideoTips I've tried so many times still deleted everything to the right. I think I seen someone mention in and out points but I don't get it.
@@CreativeVideoTips lol damn I figured it out. You can't have in and out points on timeline.
Before I commit to purchasing this Device, do these trimming functions on your excellent Video work in the edit page? I am aware certain things work in the Cut Page, that don't work in the Edit page .. but I can't find confirmation if the things you specifically covered here, work in the Edit page. No massive issue if it doesn't, I will just have to get used to using the Cut Page which to be honest, I have veered away from since using DR. I am much more comfortable in the Edit page. thanks for the Video !! either way VERY useful ! Sorry one final question, is there a way to do a blade cut through all items where the play head is using this Speed Editor? ie: the CMD B key shortcut?
I ordered one and got it delivered via our friend Amazon Prime, and happy to say it cuts through all of the multiple layers just like the CMD B shortkey, now THAT is useful !!! I saw your other Video on the long presses too, so I will have to train my brain to remember all these things. I don't do this all day every day, but just this split button through all layers is awesome enough !! :)
awesome dude! its helpful that the keys are labeled to help remember.
How do you delete a clip with the RIPL DEL button? When I press it, the clip is deleted, but a placeholder remains in the same place.
This will happen if it’s a clip not on track 1 or there is secondary audio. This is maintain sync relationships.
Is it possible that is what’s happening?
@@CreativeVideoTips Sir, you just saved my life (&nerves) :) The audio was locked. Now i just unlocked it and it works.
Great tutorial! But as an old-time retired NYC graffiti artists, ummm, those artists are what we called 'toys' back in the 70's...
do you have one on one training bro?
I do. Go to creativevideotips.com/consulting to learn more.
How is DR17 doing so far? Many bugs or crashes?
The only bug I’ve experienced is using the mark button on the speed editor with the triple tap to jump in and type notes into it that after doing this once it locked up the software and it needs a relaunch.
It opens with nothing lost and I’m not sure if this has to do with the fact my keyboard is also Bluetooth.
Overall I’ve been very happy with 17.
@@CreativeVideoTips Thanks. Very cool. I have DR17 and the spped editor combo pre oredered with B&H.... .. I suspect the piblic release is going to be good and solid.
I have watched many of your tutorials. This is the first one, that was not clear to me. I just got my speed editor, and I am very frustrated. I do not get it. This tutorial was not useful for a beginner like me.
Thanks!
You bet!
thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Thanks!
Wow! Thank you so much for the support. I REALLY appreciate you, glad this helped.
