DaVinci Resolve Keyboard - Cheapest control surface

[Rosario Balistreri]

DaVinci Resolve Keyboard

For speeding up the color grading process, there is the necessity of having a control surface.
I've built one of them

Features
Potentially it replicates the functions of:
- 2 ON/OFF Switch
- 30 Knobs
- 3 Trackballs
- 3 Wheels
- 100+ Keys

That's possible remapping a keyboard with a complex series of scripts and using it with a pointing device.

Here is a fast made video showing some functions... I'll show you everything else with a better made video ;)

Compatibility
Obviusly you can use almost every keyboard and a mouse, a trackpad or a trackball that you own.
The scripting was done using the software Controllermate (more infos here: OrderedBytes).
Supported platforms:
- Mac OS X
Screen resolutions:
- 2560x1600
- 2560x1440
- 1920x1200
- 1920x1080
- 1680x1050
Keyboards:
- All the most popular. Keyboards that use specific drivers (Ex: Apple Keyboard) are excluded.
Pointing devices:
- All.

How much does it cost
The possible users are distribuited all over the world and I choose that selling only the script by the web avoiding every kind of pack shipment is the better thing to do, garanting to you the maximum flexibility.
In this way you could also use your own devices.
For less then 95$ (69€) you'll receive by email the scripts and the PDF/PSD (editable) to print and paste on your keys.
It's an awesome price considering the increment of productivity that you'll gain.

Availability
Now, clink on the link below ;)
Post every question that you have, I'll be happy to reply to everyone.

I'm using it with the trackpad and it's amazing for me!

[Brandon J.F.]

Any chance there will ever be a Windows version?

[Luis Otero]

So, how and what do you use emulate the track-balls and track-rings?

[Rosario Balistreri]

Any chance there will ever be a Windows version?

I asked to Controllermate developers to provide a porting of their amazing application to Windows, then the porting of the script will be instantaneous.
I searched for an equivalent app for Windows but I didn't found it... If you know something, please advice, I'll make the possible to port it!
I'm switching too to Windows and I need to continue to work with this keyboard! =)


So, how and what do you use emulate the track-balls and track-rings?

For example:
Click on the gamma key, and move your finger on the trackpad/trackball or move your mouse in the direction that you want. It updates the image realtime to the color that you choose. For switch to highlights or shadow, release the gamma key, press the lift key and move your hand.
For the knobs the movement is just left-right (decrease-increase the value).

[Luis Otero]

Impressive... PayPal? What keyboard is the one you used?

[Rosario Balistreri]

Impressive... PayPal? What keyboard is the one you used?

Yes, Yesterday I setup my PayPal account and prepared the link for all the version:
Until yesterday there was a script for each monitor resolution, a couple of hours ago I've built a workaround so every resolution will be available with the same script.
I've used the cheapest keyboard that I found at the computer shop, it was 15€, less then 20$.
My today scripting session allows you to made in a way that if your keyboard layout is really different from mine (but i don't think) you could rearrange the blocks to match it.

[Luis Otero]

Are the "POT" function also managed using this script/hardware combination? The real question is: are ALL the functions available on the DaVinci panel also controllable via the script/hardware?

If so, post your PayPal account...!!

[Rosario Balistreri]

Excuse me, what do you mean for "POT"?
My english knowledge isn't so wide =)

I take a look to the official DaVinci Panel and discovered that most of the functions are covered by this keyboard, I can say that everything that is in the interface and available with shortcuts is working. Some function like "Jump to node 3" are possible only with the Resolve Panel and I can't do nothing with them...

[Luis Otero]

Go to page 413 of current Resolve User Manual, and it is explained there. Hope this helps.

Also, your PayPal account name?

Oh, I called them "knobs" like on the midi interface, I think it's the same...
And yes, they are supported and already mapped ;)

my paypal mail is ros.balistreri@gmail.com, but now I can send the 2560x1440 "beta" (the one that I used until yesterday). When I release every new version I'll send an email to everyone that bought it with the link to the newer one ;)

[Luis Otero]

Sent, and ready to play with it! I think it will be a grate way to maximize the time of your work. My Jr. colorist can be doing her tasks, and I can continue my other in-depth grading.

Thanks!

When I start to create it, the target was primary me shah, then people that couldn't afford a control surface for a second workstation or DIT that can now carry a single keyboard inside the backpack.

You ask something about porting it to RCX, it isn't impossible, but it's hard because it hasn't a fixed interface like Resolve, but I'll take a look ;)

[Luis Otero]

You can use either their keyboard template, or the Wave or Euphonix panel mapping they already have built in into the RCX-P. Just a suggestion... I am sure many clients will be very interested on such option.

As I said, I'll take a look, for now the priority is on Resolve ;)

[Luis Otero]

Oh, mine too...! That is what is paying the bills... However, the current course of RCXP development is astonishing. And if BMD does not start to incorporate so many things that great soft of software is offering, I will need to re-assess my workflow and re-incorporate it as a pre-treatment before sending the footage to Resolve,just as I was doing before they release their new version.

What is the model name of the trackball/trackpad you are using? Can you please post a picture of this? Thanks!

Would any other trackpad work, have you have tried any other? What is the model name of your keyboard?
My maximum monitor resolution is 1920 X 1080. Will your program support this? Thanks.

Every trackpad works, If you can use it as a mouse, you can use it with my script.
My Keyboard is a 15$ Mediacom keyboard, the exact model is CX7710.

I've also made a working setup for Luis Otero with his Logitech Keyboard.

Yes, now every resolution from 1680x1050 to 2560x1600 is supported.

That's pretty sweet. Could your script be used with an x keys panel? I would assume so since the x keys cab be mapped to any keyboard command.

I would like to use an x keys panel with my euphonics control surface to have a lot of the functionality of the resolve panel.

Sure! I've not a xKeys panel so I can't configure it for you, but I can help to replace the "keyboard" blocks to yours.

EDIT: 1.0 version is out! Fully working now!
Now i'm making better stickers and then the PDF guide ;)

[Doug Beatty]

I couldn't find the Mediacom CX7710 keyboard available on eBay or from any US vendors on the internet, but I did find an almost exact (and cheap) model called Anyware Ez-IKE-101 (http://www.directron.com/ezike101.html?gsear=1) that would do the trick.

Would a trackball work?

The x keys Mac osx software can be downloaded and configured without owning the device. If you could do a quick test and see if I can retain main keyboard functions and map the x keys buttons to your script, I'll be glad to send my money your way.

This is the x keys I want to use:

and here is the software:

Tim

Edit: I just saw on your site that you already used controllermate, so setting this up should be a breeze.

Edit 2: since I have the euphonics surface, I'm more interested in the navigation and node mapping/creation buttons than most of the knob and track wheel replacements. The things I want to do with x keys are mostly hard buttons on the davinvi panel since the euphonics already does a pretty good job with the knobs for adjustments and selection and play controls.

Send me an email in a way that I con send you back a test script and discover if it works.

If you know how to go to next node/previous node with the keyboard I can add it to the script. Unfortunely the manual doesn't help.

Could I buy lots of trackballs, and emulate having more pots on my Wave, or can I only control one parameter at a time? Van I use a Wave at the same time as this? Can I use my "nomal" keyboard at the same time?

I think this multi-pot thing would be great.

[Paolo Tinari]

Win version yet?

[Peter Chamberlain]

Hi Paolo, we have an public beta Resolve for Window 7 Pro on our web site. Online now for nearly a month.

No, you can't control more than one parameter at the same time, but you could use the Wave and your normal keyboard while using this custom keyboard.


Windows version is in the roadmap, but will have some limitation... However I advise the Mac version

Thanks for your post Peter,
i was referring to the pc version of the software made by Rosario.
I already started playing with Resolve lite for Windows.
Cheers,

:-( but thanks.
Keep us up to date.

[Rosario Balistreri]

:-( but thanks.
Keep us up to date.

Isn't my fault, there isn't an application like Controllemate on Windows, so I've to use what Windows platform could offer, and it's very limited...

I can say what will be the features:
- You can use every keyboard that you want and every mouse that you want, without any limitations.
- You can't map the 100% of the keys, but some keys aren't mappable. (Less functions)
- Can't dedicate a second keyboard exclusively to Resolve: there will be a software switch (like pressing two keys) to switch from normal keyboard to Resolve Keyboard. You can use a second keyboard with the stickers, but if you are in "normal mode" it will ignore the Resolve inputs and will print the original key's behavior, and if you are in "Resolve mode" also the first keyboard will respond to Resolve Keyboard.
That's because in Windows I can map the actions: "Press A, press S, press D"; On Mac i can map the actions like: "Press Key#39 on Controller #1".
- I'll have to port manually the entire script on Windows, and every edit should be done on both platform manually, so updates will be asynchronous.
- You can't customize the layout how you do on Mac.

But maybe I'll start developing it when possible, because there are other applications that could enjoy the benefits from my script.

I think x keys could work very well - what are your final thoughts on this? X keys is just a keyboard, after all, but it looks a bit more pro. Also, did you know that you can get custom keyboards manufactured for you at quite low cost?

They aren't really cheap...
I'm considering to "certificate" some keyboards model and my advice will be to buy them (at 9.99$ on Amazon). I think that this is the best way to be ready to work, without any issue.

[Rob Ruffo]

But my question remains, could I get your scripts to work with a nice XKeys keyboard? Appearances are important, and with their removable key caps, X-Key boards can have a nice, neat, labeled appearance, no scotch tape look - it just looks less DIY.

Hey Rosario,

Would a Novation's "Launchpad" also work ( http://www.novationmusic.com/products/midi_controllers/launchpad )? I do have one, but never have had the time to program it. Since I own your script/software, would a "translation" to this pad be possible?

What about doing some tests tomorrow? Something like from 8pm (Europe time) to 11pm.
Contact me by mail when you're ready :)

I look forward to hearing your results. They also have a model with a shuttle-jog in it - would be really cool if that could work as an adjuster to things not mapped directly to the wave (well, OK, mapped but sometimes many pages away) like saturation - just a button press away!

Definitely interested in getting this as part of my set up.

So how easy is it to edit the scripts so that they work with X-rite? Still waiting for an answer. I am not a programmer.

Assuming that you're talking about xmeys, I need to know what you want to do.
Assign a function to a key is immediate, edit specific functions is complicate.
But I think that you're talking about the first way.
some users are using it with xKeys :)

[Rob Ruffo]

Thanks Rosario!

There are some pretty advanced computer techs (like you...) on Reduser. I know software as an advanced user, but I am not a programmer.

I just want to assign some of your functions to some Xkeys (not the ones that are redundant to my wave) and other functions (various Davinci shortcuts) to other keys.

I am also thinking of maybe getting the x-keys with the jog wheel in the middle. Could I assign that wheel to adjust values? Can I use the middle-mouse wheel? Is all this easy to do, or is it assumed that one knows programming to make changes to the script?

You're gave me a good idea... for the jog wheel...

Obvusly assigning the functions that I've on my script to some x-keys is easy and I'll follow you in this configuration.

Using the jog wheel/mouse wheel to adjust values is a good idea... I need to understand how can I can script it working...

EDIT: I got it, I'll make some tests tomorrow and I'll let you know ;)

[Rob Ruffo]

Very exciting Rosario! Let us know how it goes.

I mean this thing: (would obviously only work with 1d values like saturation or soft clip, not 2d (x+Y) like the color vectors)

http://www.piengineering.com/xkeys/xkedit.php

But... Middle mouse wheel would also be very useful/fast, especially if it was nice and slow to make very precise adjustment possible.

Another question, can I use trackball AND a regular mouse (keep my mouse for other things, but trackball just for your scripts/keyboard?)

Do I need Mac only trackball, or any will work?

I know that is possible to map the jog wheel to do exactly what you're saying... This morning I tried with a wheel mouse and where a bit buggy (maybe is a fault of the cheap mouse). The jog wheel should be better but I can't guarantee it...
I can make a function that "Shift+UP" or "Shift+RIGHT" means "little increments".
In this way you can do the fast grade with the mouse and then refine after with the keys...

Yes, you can use the mouse for other things and the trackball just for the script.
Any trackball that is working on your Mac will work with the script, without limitations ;)

That's awesome - so just to be clear: 1) I can use it with x-keys http://www.piengineering.com/xkeys/xk24.php XKey is NOT a generic keyboard, it is more like a game controller type thing. It comes with its own version of controller mate
2) I can use my scroll wheel to control values as wanted. 3) This will not require advanced programming skills on my part.

And one last question... (Which I ask also for other users here, I would imagine, like the other questions...) I am also thinking of using a Genovation keyboard. It reads as a standard keyboard (it has no drivers). Will that conflict with my other keyboard in Mac, or does Mac see additional keyboards differently than a PC?)

Can I program a modifier key to an X-Keys (like I press the bottom right key, and the top-left one together, and it calls a different function than pressing just the one key by itself?)

Thank you for your quick replies. I will become a customer this week.

[Rosario Balistreri]

It isn't a problem if you're using other keyboard, you'll config only the one that you need, others will operate normally.

Yes and no, you can map "my modifier keys" on some keys on your xkey keyboard.
Let me explain, you can't have custom shortcuts like "button 1 = next version", "button 15+button1 = previous version."
You should keep the functions printed on the stickers. So maybe you need to assign 3 or 4 keys to modifiers and then the others to the basic functions, in a way that pressing a specific modifier you can use the specific "b-function" written in the script (that can't be changed).

Hope that i've explained :S

Understood, but if I have enough keys (like if I buy 54 key XKeys version) can I skip modifiers altogether (and have only direct keys?) I have firmly decided to buy your product, but want to buy the best choice of keypad.

How many function keys would I need in all (if I wanted them all to be direct?)

[Rosario Balistreri]

Yes and no, you need around 100 keys to have all the features.
but maybe you don't need all of them so maybe for what you do, 50 keys are enough ;)

[Rob Ruffo]

But they could all be direct (whatever number I have?)

[Rosario Balistreri]

But they could all be direct (whatever number I have?)
No, you still need the modifiers. Some features are built in the same key (with and without pressing the modified key) within the script, so you can't separate them and assign them to two different keys.
For example, a key will select the next clip, using the modifier with this key will move the cursor to the last frame of that clip. You can't divide them.
I've built the layout for a 100/110 keys keyboard and i'm allowing you to use other keyboards but leaving the script structure intact :)

[Rob Ruffo]

Makes sense Rosario but... I think you should think about a version for those of us who have a control surface, but want more button functions. We would not need "next clip" (it's right there on the control surface) but we would need "last frame", and we would prefer it to work without a modifier (although this will likely work as I could program the modifier+key itself as a macro with a keyboard like Genovation or X-keys.)

Here is a function suggestion that would be mighty handy (maybe they are there already) For qualifiers: hue On/Off Sat On/Off Value On/Off (simple toggles without changing low/high/soft values) - its' great to check the contribution of each vector when qualifying.

I'll integrate the switches for the qualifiers in the next version, but will be integrated with a modifier key because all the keys on the standard keyboard are used.

But I found now a way to integrate the modifiers pressing just one key, without many nights of coding.
Obviously you will have a

can you explaine me a few questions...
if i buy it I will get, some thing to stick on the key to mi keyboard. and... what else... and script? how do I install it?
Do I need to buy the ControllerMate? or that is just to built the script that you will send?
I will run it on mi MBPr. I will buy an external keyboard, I can use the two keyboard? (the external and the laptop one) so y can just use a normal one to write or those things?.

thanks

Hi!

the script is not available anymore because is compatible with Resolve 8 only and doesn't support the Retina Display.

Here is the new version
http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?84022-DRAP-DaVinci-Resolve-Affordable-Panel-coming-soon
i'm currently working on it and probably I have to make a specific version for the rMBP since its completely different dpi setting.
This version could arrive after the non retina version, I should find someone that borrows me it and let me adapt the script. Or buy it by myself...

When you buy the it will receive via mail the PDF with the stickers, a PSD for edit them based on your preference, and the set of scripts with the configuration and help PDFs.
Yes, you need Controllermate, it's not included since most people are already using it and I don't want to make them pay twice.
And again yes, you have to use a second keyboard because should be "erased" from is capabilities to write text and becomes a set of 100+ keys ready to be used with Controllermate. The built in keyboard will remain untouched.
