STREAMDECK FOR RESOLVE

Streamdeck for Resolve

Streamdeck for resolve is a FREE tool I’ve developed as an accessible alternative to expensive colour grading control surfaces. It provides fingertip control for 363 different functions on the DaVinci Resolve Colour Page; enabling anyone with a laptop and a smartphone, tablet or Streamdeck to streamline their colour grading workflows.

What is Streamdeck for Resolve?

This tool uses The Elgato Stream Deck software to mimic the mouse movements of each different function. The Stream Deck itself is a control surface with endlessly customisable buttons each equipped with a small LED screen. However it is not necessary to own one to use this tool as Elgato provide an app for both android and iOS to use your phone or tablet as a stream deck. Unfortunately this tool currently only works for Windows as it uses a plugin to mimic mouse movements that isn't supported on iOS. I do not use a Mac for grading so have not been able to devfelop a work-around for Mac. Maybe in the future though, as I’m sure it wouldn’t be too complicated.

How does it work?

Streamdeck for Resolve will give you 363 buttons on 28 different profiles each with custom-designed icons corresponding to each of these following panels on the Resolve Colour Page:

What features does it have?

I am neither a developer, I don't know how to code anything, this has just been a side project I’ve enjoyed creating on-and-off over the last year and am happy for it to remain so. I really enjoy how increasingly accessible art-making tools are becoming and very much like the idea of making my own small contribution to this. Furthermore if I were I to charge for this I would feel inclined to provide support & updates which is something I don’t really have the time to do. I would rather give this out to the community and provide all the files on which it is based so that anyone can make their edits and improvements. I’m intrigued to see what life this gets once I release it and would be happy to assist anyone who may want to contribute improvements (such as Mac support), just drop me a line.
