Best Mouse for Editing in Davinci Resolve - Logi MX Master 3s

four months ago I switched from Premiere Pro to DaVinci Resolve and it would have been a huge learning curve if it wasn't for this mouse [Music] hi I'm Jared with visibletour.com and today we are going to talk about fast editing in DaVinci Resolve DaVinci Resolve has blown my mind over the last four months I have not looked back at Premiere Pro I've been super excited about it but I know a lot of you are hesitant about jumping ship and going into Premiere Pro or maybe you've had some hiccups with your editing well I'm going to give you awesome tips two of them to be specific two tips that is going to help your editing flow especially if you have come from Final Cut or have come from Premiere Pro because these are actually built into DaVinci Resolve the other one I'm going to show you is actually specifically this mouse which is a programmable mouse works amazing let me talk about it for a second you got a second right let's talk about this mouse this is the Logitech MX Master 3s this is an amazing tool especially when it comes to video editing I've been using this for about five months before this for about two years I was using this one which is the MX Master 2s which is also an amazing Mouse why are they amazing well they're programmable every single button can be programmed on here for cutting for pasting for any kind of edit specific to any application you want each application can have its own specific macros to it which is amazing because it should make your workflow a lot faster so when I'm editing I'm editing with my right hand on the mouse cutting pasting and on my left control z a lot because I'm making mistakes and if you don't know Ctrl Z it should be your friend because it's the undo and I have to undo a lot of stuff in my edits because I'm not perfect and neither are you and that's why Ctrl Z is amazing and maybe your control Z should be right programmed on this mouse so why did I switch from the 2s to the 3s and what is the big difference well first of all let me tell you the similarities their layout is very similar their buttons are very similar and how you program them is absolute absolutely similar but the difference comes with the noise and the Precision so listen this is the 3s that is the 2s I could not stand listening to this day after day of editing this one is now next to the microphone so you should be able to hear it still that alone is a huge difference but again let's go back to similarities because one of the big similarities of this and that is super important to me is that both of these work on glass they are precise on glass there is no reflection and that is one of the reasons why I went out and bought the 2s originally and then I went for the 3s because these things are amazing on glass on any surface you need to go that's what makes it amazing the feel too both of these to the touch I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or get used to it but once you have your hand on this thing it just feels good it's not too small it's not too big the thumb rests well and where the thumb rests is a clickable button you just push it down I usually use it to open up multiple tabs and then I can choose my tabs so let's get on the computer I'm going to show you how to program this thing but where to specifically start if you're getting in to DaVinci Resolve for the first time once you're in a project is to go up here in The DaVinci Resolve Tab and underneath about DaVinci Resolve go to keyboard customizations when you're in that if you're coming from Adobe Premiere Pro you're going to want to select Adobe Premiere Pro if you're coming from Final Cut then Final Cut or Avid but these will be the typical shortcut keys that you would get from Premiere Pro and this is what you're used to this is what I have been used to for the last 17 years and I don't want to learn the whole layout of DaVinci Resolve and how they have it so if you click here though it changes what those shortcuts mean I can program them these are the shortcuts that I'm used to so the application just launched and there's the MX Master 3s right there showing 50 battery connected via Bluetooth and so we'll click on that and here we have all the programs and the nice thing is this is all programmable every single button and specifically to each app so this button right here and right here and right here and right here is specific to each one so where it would work for something in Photoshop and Premiere it may work differently and DaVinci it just all depends on how I program this so in Photoshop this button does a redo this doesn't undo there does a brush size so I can change the brush size right there so if you go to keyboard shortcut right here you can do whatever you want that to be so for example I did control B right here so Ctrl B so although my right hand is controlling the mouse and I'm doing shortcuts and literally shortcuts I'm moving it and then I'm cutting it just a little bit I can hold down the alt button and then scroll wheel back towards me to make the timeline a little bit shorter and then I can zoom into that timeline just the same as well and so then I'm scrubbing and then let's just say I wanted to cut that out and then I'm just hitting that button right there so I'm actually going to try something different right now this keyboard shortcut Ctrl B does do the cutting but the interesting thing is this shortcut well we've got none right now so let's fix this so control C and now this is going to be Ctrl C so if I go here and I click on that and then I hit that front button I now and Drew a control V if I wanted to we've got this as copy and this is as paste and I never use this but maybe I should be so let's go right in there so we're gonna copy that we're gonna move it there I'm gonna push down there you go I just pasted it all of that was done just on the mouse itself was this helpful if it was please leave a comment below if you learned something new and if this is a so was this helpful because for me it absolutely is and it has sped up my workflow when it comes to video editing I'm able to copy paste save and just it's almost like playing the piano which I can't do so I don't know if it's like playing the piano but for me it's like playing a video game how about that it's like playing a really good video game that you've been playing for years and now you're just not even thinking about it that's how editing with this thing is like and if you found this helpful please leave a comment below saying hey Jared this was good content this actually helped me out and it'll encourage me to make some more videos like this I really hope you found this helpful because for me this has been life-changing I love this mouse and they can only improve it they can only add little buttons all over the place more of them to program the fact that it is so customizable just changes the whole way I add it I can never go back to a regular Mouse and could I go back or go forward I guess because I've never used it before could I go to the speed editor that DaVinci Resolve gives you probably I probably could do it it's not cheap but I probably could use it but right now my workflow is fantastic using a mouse like this and if you don't have a mouse like this check out the link below because well I put it there for you I put it there if you don't have this mouse you could purchase it because it's an amazing Mouse everybody should have it if you found this kind of content helpful please leave a message below saying hey Jared wow
