How to TRIM with the DaVinci Resolve SPEED EDITOR - Tutorial

I can’t find the Audio Trim icon so I’m thinking maybe at any point they change it on a certain version. I’m I wrong? I would like so much to turn it on

My cut page does not have the Audio Trim toggle - any idea how to get it back??? Seems like it would be soooo useful.

Apparently, I watched this before, but without paying adequate attention. I apologize. Your pace was excellent. Video length excellent. Clarity, my most important measure, was excellent.

I created a new saved Speed Editor playlist since I want to be able to find this and similar videos for rewatching.

Thank you.

Thanks for your videos. Is it possible to do an asymmetrical trim with Speed Editor?

Useful. Thank you for making it.

Editor Keyboard HELP? I purchased the DVR Editor Keyboard instead of the Speed Editor (possibly a big mistake). I can not find ANY documentation for the product. Emailed Black Magic support - no response. My biggest PROBLEM is tht I have not discovered how to select the clip that the playhead is on and that I want to Edit/Trim. I have to grab the mouse and select the clip. Now that I have my hand on the mouse might as well just edit/trim with that. Selection Follows Playhead does not seem to work on the cut page. ???

Just got mine and learning, new in Davinci, lol, wish me luck guys, thanks for the video 👍

Before I commit to purchasing this Device, do these trimming functions on your excellent Video work in the edit page? I am aware certain things work in the Cut Page, that don't work in the Edit page .. but I can't find confirmation if the things you specifically covered here, work in the Edit page. No massive issue if it doesn't, I will just have to get used to using the Cut Page which to be honest, I have veered away from since using DR. I am much more comfortable in the Edit page. thanks for the Video !! either way VERY useful ! Sorry one final question, is there a way to do a blade cut through all items where the play head is using this Speed Editor? ie: the CMD B key shortcut?

Super useful ! And great examples to demonstrate what each function does. Thanks a lot !! Short question: Is there a smart & fast way to "insert a little bit of empty space" in the timeline right were the playhead is ?

You must be using a different version than the 18 I have because holding the button in cut or media mode doesn't even work for trim. Also, the split button when pressed only once as you do in the video doesn't cut right after I press the ripl del, I had to press split in two different points then ripl del.

I'm shooting and editing videos very causally, like every few weeks/months. As a result, I keep forgetting what SE can do or even how to use it properly so that it does not slow me down as opposed to using mouse in the Edit Page. Your tutorials are possibly best ones I've seen for Speed Editor so far.

Great tutorial! Is there away to Trim In without having the playhead move back equivalent to the length that was trimmed away? I always have to scrub forward after each longer Trim In. Thanks in advance!

Found your video very helpful. I do have one question, I am unsure of the function of the "CUT" key (lower left conner), just do not find that it does anything. Last question can the type of dissolve be assigned to the "DIS" key?

You'll need to do an update to J and L Cuts now that it's possible in the Cut page with Resolve 18.5! Hope they make it easy with the Speed Editor!

I have watched many of your tutorials. This is the first one, that was not clear to me. I just got my speed editor, and I am very frustrated. I do not get it. This tutorial was not useful for a beginner like me.

the "quid pro quo of trimming" had me dying ahahahha

Great tutorial! But as an old-time retired NYC graffiti artists, ummm, those artists are what we called 'toys' back in the 70's...

hi! your videos are super helpful. i have a question. how do you ripple delete with audio track locked in? say for music video types of edit? as of now, if you ripple delete - the gap stays in cut page. if you do it in normal edit page with audio locked in - it ripple deletes with no problem.

Great focus! Thank You Chad! I have realized this fast logic to remember the various edits key:
- the Upper line edit section trim and move Edit Points
- the Lower line (slip source and destination) slip the Content

When i press the ripple delete button, my whole timeline gets deleted instead of the clip! any idea why?

how do i cut, like cltr x or non riple delete

Your tutorials have made my life so much easier coming from Final Cut. The biggest issue I'm having with the speed editor in the cut page is with multiple video tracks. I like having my track one be my "dialogue / story." I then enjoy having my second track be my b roll segments. I can't figure out how to make resolve focus on track 2 and work similarly to a magnetic timeline in final cut, like track 1 works in the cut page. It's driving me crazy. Would you be able to make a video about using resolve and multiple tracks in the cut page with a speed editor?

Thank you so much!

MANNNNN!... I have ben looking for the page to page shortcut keys, forever and now I just saw you mention " shift- 4" awesome as usual!!!

I'm getting frustrated lol. Why after I split clip and then ripple delete it deletes entire timeline?

is it possible to change clips pisition on v2 without overwritting the other clips?

I got a speed editor a few weeks back. It’s made such a difference in my workflow. I feel like I actually want to edit, it makes even menial tasks fun!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for making & posting. Keep up the great work!

Thanks!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for making & posting!!!

Thanks!

I just got my speed editor and this video was exactly what I needed. You showed us some great uses of the editor and took me back to what I had forgotten I learned in Avid Media Composer. Thanks!

Great video! I'm having a hard time understand how this thing would speed up my editing. Seems very one dimensional

I am happy that I found this channel for great Videos. Thx

Hey Chadwick, are there any tricks when trimming a multicamera timeline on the cut page? I'm splitting the audio at each edit point where there are gaps in the dialogue so the video remains synchronized when I ripple it, but figured there may be a way to lock them together so I don't have to hit the split key so often. Thank you for the tips as always!

I can not find my audio trim button to the left of the timeline it is not there. How can I make this icon show up or find it?

Your tutorials helped me a lot, especially the Speed Editor videos. One question: Do you know why the Speed Editor doesn't ripple clips (in + out) anymore in my timeline after a lot of editing work? (leaving gaps or overwriting the next clip) - For a test I added a new timeline in the same project and put in some clips from the Media Pool and there it worked as shown in your tutorial.

This video is free? Wild

If I could like this video a hundred times I would - the amount of time you have saved me here.

The only other thing I'd add here is the Trim in and trim out - map that to Q and W in the keyboard customization. I found this has increased the efficiency by a fair bit. I think it's also called trimming tops and tails.

Yo you've been very helpful and you seem super cool. I hope you're doing well dude

How do you delete a clip with the RIPL DEL button? When I press it, the clip is deleted, but a placeholder remains in the same place.

Great pace & simple, thorough explanations. Thanks for the help!

Hi Chadwick, very good videos you've delivered. Please answer the following question. What is the pressure function of the rotary knob for? Would be nice if you could explain that to a German fan. Greetings Sebast

Great video, I just ordered the bundle and am super excited about getting the speed editor. I'm hoping it helps with carpal tunnel as the mouse is killing my wrist. Also, I scrolled down thinking you'd be at 300K+ subs, your production quality is top notch.

I have upgraded to Studio17.2 and speed editor was working fine. the software said there was speed editor update I did update now speed editor will connect to bluetooth but will not turn on or work on bluetooth. If I plug in usb it turns on and seems to work. when I remove the cable to try and use speed editor with bluetooth davinci resolve will crash? Anyone recieved fix for this problem? Or can I roll Back to previous version of speed editor software?

In the middle of a big edit and love bouncing on to your videos every now and again to make sure I'm getting the most from my speed editor. Always come away with at least 3 new learnings. Totally didn't know about the cam1, 2 and 3 buttons selecting layers and think I finally understand the slip function after I don't know how long :-D Thanks Chadwick!
