Mac Resolve Keyboard Shortcuts

[J. Cody Baker]

I'm not in front of the Mac Resolve software so maybe these exist, I'm just reading through the released Shortcuts Guide and didn't see these-
Are there currently or will there be keyboard shortcuts for the following commands?

Previous Node
Next Node
Disable Current Node
All/Current/PTZR
Lift Mark

[M Most]

Nearly all of those things are mapped on all of the supported panels that have enough keys (DaVinci panels, Avid MC Color, and Tangent Wave) but there are no current keyboard shortcuts for them. You'll have to reach for the mouse on those things.

I'm out on location but I believe that "Disable Current Node" is <Control><D> or <Command><D> maybe.

Here are a few shortcuts off the top of my head, some of these are undocumented so far as I can see.

Many, if not all, the buttons on the Resolve Panel are essentially "just" a USB keyboard device, you whack a button and a keystroke is sent to OS X. As a result, you have a lot of "hidden" keyboard controls. I'm quite sure I haven't discovered them all.

(That only goes for the buttons mind you ... the rings, trackballs, knobs and pots are other USB device types, and generate different types of data.)

(CMD aka command or the "apple key"
CMD+W = Toggle Wipe
CMD+A = Auto Color
CMD+Right arrow = next scene/edit
CMD+left arrow = previous scene/edit
CMD+J=Join Clip
CMD+L = Toggle looping

CTRL+D = disable current node
CTRL+H = Highlight B&W

SHIFT+D = Delete current node
SHIFT+A = Add node
SHIFT+J = split clip
SHIFT+H = Highlight Color
SHIFT+right arrow=next keyframe
SHIFT+left arrow=previous keyframe

up arrow = disable all nodes
down arrow = enable all nodes

Hi,

This spring I designed a Mac Resolve shortcut keyboard for the great folks at Logic Keyboards. Check it out http://www.logickeyboard.com/shop/advance-line-apple-2020p.html If you ask them they may make a skin for the MacBook Pro. It sped up understanding the software for me. I also did their Color keyboard the year before.

Note: I don't work for LogicKeyboard just have ideas

cheers

You could always get Quickeys (http://startly.com/) and map out your own shortcuts based on that. I've done this with lots of Mac-based programs (particularly Pro Tools), and it's been a lifesaver at reducing the time on doing repetitive tasks.

[J. Cody Baker]

Remapping is actually what I'm doing, but without knowing the existing shortcuts for those last 5 commands I'm not sure how to map them-
They may be accessible via the MC Color, but I'm not looking forward to cycling through pages of soft key menus just to get to something like Lift Mark.

Except for Disable Current Node, I don't believe there are any key bindings for the other commands, particularly the ones to navigate the node tree. Those are only exposed via panel bindings. If you don't have a panel, you need to use the mouse for those things. If there are some secret key combinations that someone from Blackmagic can bring to light, I for one would be curious as to what they are...

[J. Cody Baker]

While I have a thread open let me ask:
Please bring back panel/scene beeps! Even if it's just the Mac internal speaker or something. Helps greatly when watching through a timeline to verify the EDL.

Also, some way to type in/cue to a timecode or scene number would be great. What's the use of having Preview Memory as a shortcut if you can't type in a scene number to preview?
I know some panels may have the timecode ability (the JL Cooper Eclipse I think?) but I have an Artist Color in the mail and I don't think that'll help.

If it's any help I did this quick reference cheet sheet for Resolve shortcuts. I thought is would be easier then the one on BMD website. http://bit.ly/qxwDVh

I've been playing around with an x keys pad, and that plus discovering a lot of undocumented keyboard shortcuts will probably lead to me buying a 58 key version to go alongside my MC color panel.

If I post the keyboard shortcuts I've found in a bit, can I get some help finding a few more? It seems like almost all the resolve panel buttons are just different keystrokes.

my two cents ;)

I know there is a dedicated Davinci keyboard on it's way. Jigsaw24 have or will have them for sale.

Ah X-keys, that's precisely what I need. For the time being I'm using a second keyboard that been remapped to my liking to sort-of emulate the 2k panels. But yeah, undocumented keyboard commands are what I'm looking for. Please post when you can... I like that the commands I need are on the MC Color panel, but I hate the layout. Right shift+next frame to jump to next scene? Ridiculous.

I was thinking of the 46 key+Jog/Shuttle to use together with MC Color instead of MC transport.

Right now I am using a Shuttle Pro2 for transport control with Resolve- and that works by just emulating keystrokes anyway. That's actually been very satisfactory, but its only 15 softkeys.
