Lesson 2 Adding effects and publishing in the cut page

Editing faster with the DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard

The DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard is designed for professional editors who

need to work faster and turn around work quickly. More than just asimple

keyboard,the DaVinciResolve Editor Keyboard has been designedas

analternative way to edit that’s much faster than amouse because you can

simultaneously use both hands atthe same time! It also has dedicated keys for the

edit modes and other functions on the cut page.

You also get an integrated search dial built right into the keyboard, which is an

accurate way of jogging or scrolling up and down clips or the timeline. There are

also buttons above the search dial to switch between source tape and the timeline.

That means you can use 2 hands to edit, so you can work faster because you’re

able to change position and push buttons at the same time. Your right hand

controls the position in a clip or timeline, while your left hand is setting in and out

points as well as applying edits.

The keyboard lets you move, mark in and out points, apply an edit, then move

again, repeatedly, one after the other, again and again. It’s an extremely fast way to

work, using both hands at once. You can see why the cut page has been designed

to allow multiple edits to happen while staying in the source tape. It does not

change to the timeline after each edit, because that’s much slower.

To make editing even faster, you can also use the keyboard for trimming. There are

trim buttons on the left side below the in and out keys that you can press and hold

while using the search dial to accurately adjust edit points. The search dial is big,

so trimming is very accurate and very fast! As you saw in the tutorial, the transition

selection buttons have dedicated keys that let you change between a cut, dissolve

and smooth cut, instantly. That lets you scroll down the timeline while adding and

removing dissolves extremely fast.

Everything about the cut page and the DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard have

been designed for speed. It’s an incredibly fast way to get an edit completed and

posted in just a few minutes!
