DaVinci Resolve Keyboard Shortcuts
Over the years, I’ve built my own custom keyboard layout in DaVinci Resolve — designed to speed things up and keep me in the flow. It’s a mix of the default layout, some Premiere habits, and a few personal tweaks that just make sense for how I work.
Whether you're trimming, jumping through timelines, or grading with nodes, these shortcuts save time on every project.

Perfect for editors who want to work faster, or anyone switching from Premiere Pro who misses a few of those classic keys.

In the customization window, click the three-dot menu (•••) in the top-right corner.
Choose "Import Preset".
Select the downloaded file (it usually ends with
.json) from your downloads folder.Once imported, hit Save and you're ready to go!
That’s it — your new shortcut layout is now active. Happy editing!
