he DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor is more than just a fancy jog wheel
DaVinci Resolve is already known as one of the most advanced and versatile video editing platforms available today. But if you’re looking to take your editing speed and efficiency to the next level, the DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor is a game-changer. Designed specifically for Resolve’s Cut Page, this compact keyboard gives editors powerful, intuitive control over their workflows—freeing them from constant mouse-clicking and menu diving.
The Speed Editor is a compact hardware controller developed by Blackmagic Design to work seamlessly with DaVinci Resolve. It focuses heavily on the Cut Page, a streamlined editing environment built for speed and efficiency. It connects via Bluetooth or USB-C, making it a portable companion for laptops and mobile editing rigs.
Dramatically faster editing workflow
Designed for real-time editing without a mouse
Precision trimming with a jog/shuttle wheel
Pre-mapped keys for essential commands
The large metal search dial is the standout feature. It allows you to:
Jog (slow, frame-accurate scrubbing)
Shuttle (fast forward/rewind through timelines)
Scroll through your footage with precision
This tactile wheel gives you physical control over your media, perfect for fast trimming or locating precise in/out points.
Standard playback buttons (Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind) are included for intuitive navigation without needing to touch the mouse or keyboard.
The Source Tape feature allows you to view all your clips as one long reel—ideal for fast selections. You can then use Smart Insert, Append, or Ripple Overwrite to add clips directly to the timeline at lightning speed.
The Speed Editor makes setting In/Out points, trimming edits, and ripple edits as simple as pressing a button. Dedicated keys make tasks like Roll, Slip, and Slide incredibly quick and precise.
With the Sync Bin and Camera Keys, you can easily switch between different angles in multicam shoots—perfect for live events, interviews, or music videos.
Buttons like Cut, Dissolve, and Smooth Cut let you quickly add transitions or cuts, eliminating the need to drag effects from the toolbar.
By eliminating your reliance on a traditional mouse/keyboard combo, you can perform edits much faster using tactile controls.
The layout is designed to keep your hands in place. With one hand on the dial and the other on hotkeys, fatigue is reduced during long sessions.
Small, portable, and Bluetooth-capable, it’s ideal for editors working on laptops or in tight spaces.
The Speed Editor is tightly integrated with Resolve’s Cut Page, offering a professional-grade experience at a fraction of the price of traditional broadcast editing decks.
Absolutely—if you work frequently in DaVinci Resolve’s Cut Page. The Speed Editor won’t replace your full keyboard for Fusion or Fairlight workflows, but for cutting and assembling footage quickly, it’s one of the most powerful tools available. It’s particularly great for:
News editors
Documentary producers
Wedding videographers
YouTubers with high-volume content needs
The DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor is more than just a fancy jog wheel—it’s a dedicated editing system designed to streamline your creative process. For editors who value speed, efficiency, and tactile control, this device can significantly improve both the pace and pleasure of your workflow.
