I created keys for common tasks, some of which were duplicates of already available keyboard shortcuts, but with larger dedicated icons I didn't have to remember the shortcuts for some of the lesser used key commands.
It’s completely feasible to have different set ups for Resolve, Premiere Pro and Lightroom for example.Ĭonfiguring keys with the Elgato software. This can be done for any software that’s being used, and therefore you can have multiple sets of shortcuts (210) for each program.
To do this, I set up a new Davinci Resolve profile in the Elgato software that auto-loads when I run Resolve. However, doing so requires a more involved setup process as there are no pre-configured shortcuts available for these applications. However, my reason for buying the Stream Deck was to use it with Davinci Resolve, my NLE of choice, though it can be used just as easily with tools like Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X, or Lightroom. and these can just be mapped to the keys on the device. It's already loaded with several shortcuts for popular streaming software like Twitch, OBS, YouTube, etc. Out of the box, the Stream Deck does nothing, so the first step is to download the Stream Deck software from Elgato's website, which allows you to completely tailor each key. It does the job, but as I discuss below there's room for improvement. Included in the box is a lightweight plastic stand which allows the Stream Deck to sit at multiple angles, and it includes rubber feet on the bottom to stop it from sliding across your desk when you push a button. The Stream Deck's fascia is aluminum while the body is plastic, with dimensions of 118 x 84 x 21mm (4.6 x 3.3 x 0.80 in) and it connects via a captive USB cable approximately 1.5m long. The Stream Deck takes this idea and makes it more accessible at a price of $149. You may remember the Optimus Maximus OLED keyboard which, when launched in 2007, had a full qwerty keyboard with an OLED display on each key. The power of the Stream Deck is that each of the keys contains an individual LCD screen behind a concave plastic window.
However, the Stream Deck isn't limited to NLEs it can be used with just about any editing software such as Photoshop, Lightroom, or Premiere Pro. In my case that means a non-linear editor, or NLE, for video editing. I'm not a prolific gamer, but it occurred to me that the Stream Deck might also be a useful tool in my daily post processing work, cutting down on mouse clicks and keyboard shortcuts, and speeding up my workflow. The Elgato Stream Deck is a small, customizable keypad primarily targeted at gamers who stream live content.
