Aquilasfx Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Hello, I used Premiere for a while to edit my videos, now I switched to DaVinci Resolve, and I would like to buy a keyboard cover or a physical keyboard. logic keyboards seems to have better colour scheme. there is also editorskeys and kbcovers. What do you suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thephoenix Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 if you have a premiere keyboard you also can configure resolve to use a premiere keyboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowfun Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 What about Blackmagic’s own keyboard? I’ve preordered one - like the look of the jog/shuttle dial - but no delivery date yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestion? I found that the Avid/Premiere keyboard cover offers better colour scheme 25 minutes ago, Snowfun said: What about Blackmagic’s own keyboard?

Super Members BTM_Pix Posted June 12, 2019 Super Members Share Posted June 12, 2019 Slightly related as an alternative/supplement are programmable keypads so you can create your own surface. It has 23 programmable keys (ignore the keycaps as you also get a set of blanks) and these can be set to single keys or multi stroke macros. You can also setup four layers to increase the flexibility and it is very reasonably priced at £34, particularly when compared to something like the X-Keys products. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mechanical-Keyboard-Koolertron-Programmable-Portable-23keys-Blue-Switches-Blue-Backlit/dp/B07SFFHQCJ thephoenix, Amazeballs and kye 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think I'd have wasted £34 on something that I didn't have a half baked idea for incorporating a processor, some epoxy and an electric blue case? It is now a new option that I've incorporated for this to enable it to be used as a custom keyboard in LumaFusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its USB and works with both PC and Mac. There is a helper application linked in the Amazon product page for both to enable the key re-mapping. The reference to an app was in regards to using it with the iOS editing app LumaFusion which I have developed a bluetooth interface for.

Evgeniy Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I think BM keyboard is overpriced for what it is. Having jog is nice but it depends on how responsive and precise it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given that Resolve is possibly very underpriced for what it is I don’t feel too bad at preordering! I doubt the jog will be as silky as the dial on the Naim Muso (if you have one near you, try it - it’s utterly gorgeous) but hoping it’ll be decent.

I don't have a Naim Muso to compare to but I had a go at the Resolve keyboard at Broadcast Asia and the jog dial was smooth!

Resolve is radically under-priced is the better way to look at it. Here's a history of Resolve I prepared earlier.....

Some fun facts (via wikipedia) DaVinci had been making colour correction systems since 1985 Resolve was released in 2004 BM bought DaVinci in 2009, at which time Resolve was selling with dedicated hardware solutions for $200k-800k 2010 they released a software-only version for $995 and the hardware version dropped to $30k 2011 they introduced a free version 2013 version 10 introduced video editing 2014 version 11 introduced audio mixing to complete it as a stand-alone NLE 2016 BM buys Fairlight and version 14 includes an integrated version of it 2018 version 15 includes a version of Fusion That is a pretty spectacular timeline. In a decade it went from being $200-800K with hardware and colour only to having free, software-only versions available, and integrating world-leading colour with editing, audio, and VFX functionality. Hardware is obviously more difficult to make those kinds of advances on, but the original BMPCC and now P4K kind of fit that description. I remember Elon Musk talking about reducing the cost of things by 90% and that idea of radical change seems to also be occurring here. Other vendors don't seem to really be dancing to the same tune. Having said all of that though, I still think you'd have to be doing hours of editing / grading per day to justify a control interface, or one that costs more than $50 anyway IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
