DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor

Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor

The DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor is a purpose-built keyboard designed specifically for the Cut page in DaVinci Resolve. It’s all about speed and flow — less clicking around, more actual editing. The combination of dedicated hardware and smart software integration lets you move through footage faster and stay focused on the cut.

One of the key features is the Source Tape mode , which lets you scroll through all your clips as if they were one long timeline. It’s much faster to find shots than to jump between clips.

The keyboard is built around large, well-placed trim buttons , making it quick and precise to set in and out points. You also get dedicated editing modes that adapt to what you’re doing, so the tool stays out of your way and just works.

The design is compact and stripped down — no unnecessary keys — but you don’t lose functionality. Everything you need for fast editing is right there.

For multicam work, the Sync Bin feature makes it easy to line up and cut between cameras. And when you need to adjust sound, the audio level control lets you tweak levels directly while editing, without breaking your flow.

The Speed Editor now also includes a license for DaVinci Resolve Studio , which you can download and activate, giving you access to the full feature set of the software.

In practice, this keyboard really shines in fast-turnaround environments — TV spots, news, promos, training content — anywhere you need to move quickly. You can keep placing clips and browsing footage continuously without jumping back and forth to the timeline.

There’s also a dedicated full-screen button , easy to hit when you need it, and a double press gives you a full-screen view of your edit instantly.

Bottom line: it’s a tool designed to remove friction. If you’re working in DaVinci Resolve, especially on the Cut page, it makes the whole editing process faster, more fluid, and a lot more enjoyable.
