Speed Editor/Cut Page improvements

Hi,

I mainly use Davinci Resolve and the Speed Editor for real estate videos. There's a lot of repetition and the Cut Page and Speed Editor help out a lot but there are some improvements that would greatly improve my workflow. If there's anyway to do this currently please let me know.

1. Clip Markers shown on the timeline. This would have a huge impact on my productivity. I can probably come up with a workaround to put the markers on the timeline but that's a little messy and not as flexible. If there's an easy way to copy markers from a clip to a timeline please let me know.

2. Option to Trim/Slip based on selected clip If I could keep the playhead over a clip, and trim end would adjust the end of that clip and trim in would adjust the in of the clip I'm over that would help alot. It's also very confusing because this is how it works on the Edit Page. Slip Src should slip the previous clip, slip destination the current clip.

3. Trim to Playhead Double tap Trim In/Out to trim to the playhead. I could do Split, Scroll to the side, Ripple Delete but....

4. Ripple Delete This seems like a a bug. If you have a locked background music channel and you try to do a ripple delete on a video clip over it, it leaves a gap where the clip was and doesn't move the following clips to the left.

5. Clip Speed Clip speed on the cut page is not a percent. For 20% speed increase you would put 1.2. On the Edit page you enter 120%. There's a lot of little inconsistencies throughout the software between the different pages that are annoying. It's important to keep things consistent.

+1 on trim to playhead.

A lot of people is suggesting improvements for the speed editor but Black Magic doesn't seem to listen. Please provide an update to speed editor software so we can finally customize/map the keys.

For number 1 I can double tap the audio level/mark button and can set a mark on the timeline and select color.

Slip trim used to work so I think is a bug in current versions. Does not work on either my PC or Mac
In fact none of those clip controls work now.

Number 4 is not likely to change as the CUT page is set up to maintain timeline length so if you have an audio track locked it will define length so will not change.

I am on the latest version of Resolve and Speed Editor firmware.

I'm not trying to mark the timeline in the Cut Page. I want to add a music file that already has clip markers to the timeline and I want to see those clip markers in the Cut Page.

Trim and Slip works fine for me and they work as described in the manual. My issue is I don't like how the trim/slip point is chosen. I like how it works better in the Edit Page over the cut page. Honestly my 1,2 and 4 suggestions work how I want in the Edit page. If they just put a Source Tape view in the edit page I'd be happy. Is there a way to do that now?

This is not my experience, many operations change the timeline length and doing this on the edit page the behavior is how I want it to be.

It's very confusing to have the same tool act differently within the same software. Decreases my productivity greatly.

This is a video of how it should work. At the moment on either my PC or Mac none of the trim controls work at all.

I have found the problem for me. The clips " V " indicator needs to be visible in the lower timeline for the controls to work. I am sure it was not this way before. So just being over a clip is not sufficient the cursor has to be such that in the lower timeline the clip limit is visible. Agree this does not appear to be true on the EDIT page. So have mine working now but not the way I would like either.

I'm sorry you are having problems with the speed editor but this doesn't have anything to do with what I'm asking for. It's probably best if you start your own thread with the issues you're having.

ok. I see now that my request 3 Trim to Playhead has been implemented in the cut page. There's resize, ripple and roll start to playhead. Any chance we can get a double tap on Trim Start and Trim End on the Speed Editor to do the Roll start/end to playhead? That would be awesome.

Great idea! +1 for double tap on Trim In/Out buttons to ripple to playhead.

4. Ripple Delete This seems like a a bug. If you have a locked background music channel and you try to do a ripple delete on a video clip over it, it leaves a gap where the clip was and doesn't move the following clips to the left.

I haven't used SE in Cut page for a while but the behaviour when there's multiple audio tracks was what stopped me using it.
In addition to the above issue, which was a pain, I also found bugs where splitting a clip would split the music as well, even if you locked the track the music was on. I think the functionality of the Cut page wasn't sufficiently tested with multiple audio tracks, perhaps.
It seems odd to me though, as a the Cut page would be used for "simple" edits, and I'd imagine that such simple edits would probably involve multiple audio tracks.

Thanks for the detailed explanation, I will try it for sure.
