The part that has me wondering is once I've got the Assembly it's what happens from there. Considering I mostly shoot my own travel and events I am normally keeping things in sequential order, and only change the order if there's a problem and I need a cut-away or something to fix the coherence, that means that the selects are also an Assembly. I find that works just fine, and I get selects out of that onto a timeline.
Then in the Cut panel I can pull up tape mode and it puts all the clips in a folder back-to-back (like tape, funnily enough!) and then just using these 6 to go through and do selects. Where I is Mark In, O is Mark Out, and P is Append to Timeline, and J K L. With the jog/shuttle and its surrounding keys mapped for play/pause, mark in/out, insert to timeline, previous/next edit point and zoom in/out, I find it really fast to cut with. I use the jog/shuttle all the time (I even developed an interface to be able to use it with LumaFusion on the ipad) but I'm an old fart who grew up with that sort of interface from the tape days. I think it's worth doing just to try it out. These keypads are $10 from amazon and the software is free. This would mean that any function of any software that can have a keyboard shortcut attached to it can be assigned onto one of these and then you can have your own dedicated controller. This lead me to the idea of just buying more keys and then programming them to say Command - Shift - Something when I press a key. Ultimately, the review said, you'll have more keyboard shortcuts than you will have keys on the keyboard, so the extra physical buttons are needed so that you're not constantly having to do Command - Shift - Something to get at your shortcuts. The tool for video editing in Resolve is the Davinci Resolve Keyboard, but I can't justify the $1000 price tag, and one of the reviews I read said that it's only worth the money over a normal keyboard if you use the extra buttons that it has on the sides. I've gone down a rabbit hole with hardware controllers, and while I am really appreciating my Beatstep Davinci Resolve Edition for colour grading, it's not the tool for video editing.
