I guess it is good to know that it's not just me having the problem. It would be great if there was greater flexibility to cater to the greater diversity in the types of users and styles of content being created.I want to thank everyone for their responses. I get BM / Davinci have other products to sell, but ironically I edit small travel-related social-media focused videos that don't lend themselves to the normal workflows, which also means I'm editing on my lap using a laptop, so I'm also unlikely to ever buy any of their other hardware. The beauty of film and how accessible the tech has become is that anyone can make whatever kind of work they want to, but different types of work require different kinds of workflows.

I find these hidden "mindset" assumptions to be the largest limitation with NLEs in general - it effectively penalises those who don't work in the same way that other people do. This is supremely useful when editing to music as you can line up cuts on the waveform of the music by eye. Using the keyboard I can Start To Playhead / End To Playhead regardless of where the playhead is inside a clip. It assumes that you're working on an edit point, so the TRIM IN / TRIM OUT and SLIP SRC / SLIP DEST and ROLL make sense in that perspective, but if you're working on a clip then to edit the end of the current clip you have to wind the playhead forwards past the middle so you're now working on the next edit point and can adjust the end. Probably the main challenge for me is the rationale it assumes. For these, I have to move my hands over to the keyboard to hit those buttons, so it's not only slowing me down but it's also not great ergonomically. I use it in the Cut page, and I find that most of the features that I want are available on it, but there are a few that aren't. I remain hopeful, and in the meanwhile get around the problem by remapping function keys on my regular keyboard - this works pretty well IMO. My guess is that they simply don't have the resources to prioritize this at the moment, or that the SE firmware isn't setup in a way that makes this easy to do. version of Resolve for free and hasn't charged for upgrades.ever, I think that analysis is quite a bit wide of the mark. Given that we are talking about a company that gives away a nearly fully func. But for the price I see no business reason for them to keep offering more on the Speed editor unless they charge for it.

It would make sense for them to make another version priced between the Speed Editor and the full keyboard that has an additional set of keys that could be assigned as needed. If they made a product for $395 that does everything how would that work ? Personally I think they have been generous in the current firmware for the additions for the edit page. They are running a business to make money so that they can keep developing products. SkierEvans wrote:It makes perfect sense to me.
