Using a Stream Deck for Video Editing: Keys That Save Hours
Editors repeat the same dozen actions thousands of times. Moving them to big, labelled keys saves time and your wrist.
The editing essentials
- Blade / cut at playhead.
- Ripple delete.
- Add marker.
- Zoom timeline in and out.
- Toggle snapping.
- Play / pause and frame step.
- Render preview.
- Export with your preset.
Chain actions into one key
Deckon's multi-action keys chain several shortcuts — for example 'cut, ripple delete, jump to next edit' — into a single press. See the macro pad app guide.
Keep a deck per app
Deckon's optional Smart Decks switches your deck automatically to match the app in front, so your editing keys appear when your editor is open.
Gaming cafes, esports tournaments and gear — all in one app.
