DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard
Using a traditional keyboard and mouse to edit with is necessary for modern computers, as the interface and operating system dictate the use of these input tools. However the mouse can sometimes feel like an abstraction in the editing process, and the DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard has been designed to bring back a more “hands on” feel. This keyboard allows the convenience and power of non-linear editing with the tactile nature of the tape-based edit controllers of the past.
The DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard has been designed to greatly accelerate Edit Page timeline navigation and to use a two-handed workflow with dedicated keys for common functions in order to keep your mouse use to a minimum.
The main difference between using the DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard in the Edit page versus the Cut page is that in the Edit page the edit point is either selected manually or is set at the playhead position, not automatically set at the nearest edit point shown by the Smart Indicator, as in the Cut page. Some functions will work differently in the Cut Page, and are noted in the text.
