Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor

This compact hardware control surface is designed to dramatically accelerate editing workflows by providing a tactile, two‑handed way of working that is far faster and more intuitive than a mouse alone. Created specifically for use with the cut page, it gives editors direct physical control over the timeline, playback and trimming, allowing creative decisions to be made at speed without breaking concentration. Its streamlined layout focuses only on the keys that matter most for fast editing, making it ideal for news, promos, commercials and high volume content production where turnaround time is critical.

At the center of the design is a high quality machined metal search dial with a weighted feel and smooth rotation. This dial allows rapid movement through the timeline for jog, shuttle and scroll operations, but it truly shines during live trimming. By pressing the dedicated trim keys, the dial instantly becomes a precision adjustment control, enabling real time trimming with a level of accuracy and responsiveness that is difficult to achieve using traditional input devices. This creates a direct physical connection to the edit, making timeline navigation feel natural and highly controlled. 

The control layout is optimized for the cut page philosophy, where speed and simplicity are essential. Dedicated buttons for source tape viewing allow editors to scroll through all media as if it were a single continuous reel, greatly reducing the need to manage and audition individual clips. Transport controls are positioned for comfortable thumb operation, enabling instant play and pause without moving hands away from the main controls. This approach helps maintain creative flow and reduces fatigue during long editing sessions.

Connectivity is flexible and modern, supporting both USB C and Bluetooth LE. This allows the unit to be used either wired or wirelessly, making it easy to integrate into mobile setups or clean desk environments. Power is supplied via USB C with a maximum consumption of 4 watts, and the internal battery enables cable free operation when using Bluetooth. The controller is compatible with macOS, Windows and Linux systems commonly used in professional post production facilities, ensuring broad deployment options. 

Each unit is supplied with a DaVinci Resolve Studio activation key, unlocking the full feature set of the software and making this controller a complete professional editing solution straight out of the box.
