Blackmagic Design Davinci Resolve Speed Editor Bundle with Davinci Resolve 17 Studio (Activation Card) (2 Items)

The product arrived with the speed editor and Davinci Resolve 16. I was really confused, but I inserted the activation key and Studio 17 was downloaded. I rated this a 4/5 because of the confusion and mislabeling of their product. For about an hour I believed they shipped me the wrong software. Very misleading or completely incorrect packaging.

Product as described shipped quickly, Activation Key and Speed Editor...

This bundle is out of stock or backordered on other sites. Received both DaVinci Resolve 17 & the Speed Editor the very next day from the seller Kellards! I previously had Resolve 16 Public Beta (Free) installed; downloaded and installed DaVinci Resolve Studio 17 Beta 9, and after starting Resolve 17 Studio, the Speed Editor lit up. The first time you startup Resolve Studio with the Speed Editor, the program might appear to become unresponsive at the Looking for Control Surface loading screen, just let it take its time to find the Speed Editor. Afterwards, future program starts are speedy.

As a video editor, this tool is a must have if 1) you like need mobility, 2) if you have a lot of video, and 3) if you create many products. As a video editor for different genres, Im about to quickly import media; then set in and out points, edit; then output the media. I like the wireless capability as I just grab the device and my MacBook Pro and go anywhere to finish products. Adding transition is easy as the shortcut keys. I havent experience any issues. Its a sturdy product as with BlackMagic products, Im a fan!

After over 10 years of development, Resolve still cannot do the most basic things. Splines and keyframes are buried in microscopic, convoluted windows with extremely poor controls and absurdly complex layouts, making what should take 30 seconds take 30 minutes or more. The video editor has a litany of design flaws, such as video clips which cannot be brought into a timeline more than once, audio controls which are invisible against the waveforms and unusable while playing, and basic adjustment keyframes which will become stuck, unable to ease in or out, or will simply cause adjustment parameters to move in wild, unpredictable ways which take unreasonably long times to repair due to the horrific, tiny GUIs.

Pretty much useless

Ok, so when I first got this, I thought I made a terrible mistake, it crashed all the time, but them about a week later there was an update and it has been great ever sense (I think Id downloaded a beta version). I used Final Cut for years, and it did the job, but I have to say the user interface on Resolve is so much better. Things are where they logically should be and I dont have to look up how to do something nearly as often. The speed editor is also great, though I have yet to explore its full potential. So far I have found nothing that Final Cut did that Resolve can not do just as good if not better. Much less glitchy. Also, I prefer PC to MAC, so I love that I can use this on my PC.

The speed editor alone is amazing, but what you get with BM customer support and service... Black Magic has a customer for life in me.

The package they sent says Davinci Resolve 16. The code works for 17. I wish they mentioned that so I wouldn’t have gotten so stressed out. So annoying trying to but it works.
