DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor | Long Term Review 2023

I love it for editing "linear" videos, where I just have to cut though content quickly. You can basically edit videos with one hand with it. But if I have to edit to music with multiple tracks that need to be aligned, it feels more like an obstacle with a lot of restrictions. I do a ton of multicam editing, but I still don't use the speed editor for it because of that.

I just switched over from crashing FC one week ago. I’m loving DaVinci and the Speed Editor. It might actually make me a little faster. I purchased the tour box from your link on the combo of using both tools. So now I have keyboard, mouse, pad, tour box and speed editor. I just love the combination. It’s making something I’m passionate about in the first place, editing, just that much more fun.

Not perfect by any means, but I use it all the time and find it invaluable. The inability to map shortcuts and the lack of an on/off switch for the battery and bluetooth are my biggest complaints.

I just use key binds on my mouse to help me work faster. (I have a gaming mouse) For example I made one of the buttons press N. I think if you don't do lots of editing but still want some shortcuts using key binds on a mouse may work

When I started learning DR 3 years ago, I got an editor. Like you said, it's invaluable for multicam. I'd say, yes, if you edit for hours a day, the editor saves a lot of time.
