A wise man once said, “I feel the need, the need for speed!” Brace yourself: these DaVinci Resolve shortcuts are about to take your editing speed supersonic.
Blackmagic Design’s non-linear video editing software, DaVinci Resolve, has been making waves in the post production industry over the last few years. Many experienced editors are drawn to its inviting interface, simple workflow and many powerful features, especially in the colour grading department. The fact that the free version contains most of the advanced tools present in the paid Studio version also means that DaVinci Resolve attracts many newbie editors who want a fully functional NLE without the price tag of an equivalent like Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro X.
DaVinci Resolve makes use of a huge library of keyboard shortcuts to make the editing process faster and more efficient. In one of our latest OrmsTV videos, Jess, our video content producer who has been editing exclusively in Resolve for more than two years, introduces beginner editors to the foundational DaVinci Resolve shortcuts that will speed up their workflow and take them one step closer to becoming a professional video editor.
These keyboard shortcuts in DaVinci Resolve will help you to navigate the interface faster and cut your videos more efficiently. They work on both Windows and Mac operating systems. You can watch the full video HERE on our YouTube channel.
