Fixing conform issues and adjusting edits on the edit page.Checking conforms and preconforms on the edit page.Quickly navigating timelines on the color page.In the video below, I’ll walk you through what I like to use the speed editor for – on the Color, Edit, and Cut pages. It feels much more like directing a live switch, and with the Speed Editor, it’s very intuitive. Instead of focusing mainly on the edit timeline, the sync bin puts your focus on the action happening on every camera angle – letting you easily find and cut in the right moments from each camera. Built-in camera selection keys and the new sync bin make the Speed Editor an absolute must-have if you are editing multicam projectsĪnd for multi-camera editing – the new sync bin really is a new way of thinking about multicam editing. Specifically – the source tape feature is an amazingly fast way to quickly log footage, from shoots with lots of takes, all the way to long shows when working on promos. It doesn’t replace the edit page for me – nor do I think it should, however, I’ve found that when paired with the Speed Editor there are some tasks that the cut page absolutely excels at! After getting the Speed Editor – I committed myself to understanding it, and using it on real projects. The Cut Page? Multicam?īeing so familiar with the edit page, I honestly hadn’t dove into the new cut page much.

The only difference is the less expensive Speed Editor doesn’t include the magnetic locking clutch when changing between jog and shuttle modes. Hardware-wise the Speed Editor shares the Editor Keyboard’s excellent build quality, and great smooth feel on the jog dial. $1,000 was a lot to ask for many colorists and online editors that may not use the full functionality regularly, but at $300 I think the new Speed Editor will fit a lot more budgets, and it’s smaller size makes it much more manageable on a desk that may already be packed with other devices. The Speed Editor shares a lot of functionality with the Editor Keyboard – but at a much lower price point.

The new Speed Editor is a great little control surface for only $300 If you’ve read my Insight reviewing the bigger keyboard, you know I really like it. What is the Speed Editor? Well – it’s a small edit control unit, very similar in functionality to the bigger (and much more expensive) Editor Keyboard.
