The Best Stream Deck Profile for DaVinci Resolve (Download & Setup Guide)
Level Up Your Workflow
Discover the tools and gear that take your creative projects to the next level
If you’ve spent any serious time inside DaVinci Resolve, you already know how powerful — and complex — this software can be. Whether you’re color grading a commercial, a feature film, or your own YouTube project, the constant jumping between nodes, panels, scopes, and tools can be exhausting.
Even with muscle memory and keyboard shortcuts, there’s a limit to how fast — and how fluid — your workflow can be.
That’s where the Stream Deck comes in.
And more importantly: where a well-designed, DaVinci Resolve-optimized Stream Deck profile can completely change the way you grade.
Why Every Colorist Should Use a Stream Deck in DaVinci Resolve
The Elgato Stream Deck was originally built for streamers. But as many of us in post-production discovered, it’s a game-changer for workflow automation — especially in demanding software like DaVinci Resolve.
With just one tap, you can trigger complex actions:
Create a new serial node
Toggle scopes
Grab stills
Jump between versions
Reset individual corrections
Switch split-screen modes
…and more — all without taking your hands off the panel or keyboard.
But here’s the problem:
Setting it all up takes time. A lot of it.
You’d have to:
Manually assign every shortcut and hotkey
Design your own layout across multiple pages
Remember what each button does
And constantly tweak as you go
That’s exactly why I created this.
I Built This Profile to Save You Hours of Setup Time
After years of working as a professional colorist and customizing my tools to fit the way I work, I decided to package my full DaVinci Resolve Stream Deck setup into a ready-to-use profile — one that’s fast, clean, and designed specifically for colorists.
Who is this for?
This profile is for:
Freelancers looking to speed up their color sessions
Studios wanting to standardize and optimize their toolset
YouTubers and creators who need professional results, fast
Anyone who uses DaVinci Resolve 18+ and wants to streamline their process
What Makes This Profile Different from the Rest?
Let’s be clear: most “Stream Deck profiles” you find online aren’t really profiles at all.
They’re just icon packs — hundreds of images with no functionality attached. No shortcuts, no commands, no structure.
You download a ZIP, open the folder, and you’re greeted with a wall of generic icons. From there, you’re left to:
Manually decide which buttons you might need
Figure out what each icon even represents
Link every single one to a shortcut inside DaVinci Resolve
Build your layout from scratch, hoping it actually makes sense
It’s time-consuming, confusing, and frankly, not what a working colorist needs.
This profile is completely different.
When you import it into your Stream Deck software, it just works.
The layout is already built. The shortcuts are already mapped.
Every button is connected to a real, daily-use DaVinci Resolve command — the same ones used by professional colorists on actual commercial and cinematic projects.
No guesswork.
No clutter.
No wasting hours building something that should already be done for you.
It’s not about having a thousand pretty icons. It’s about having the right tools at your fingertips, organized in a way that makes your workflow faster, cleaner, and more focused — from the very first session.

This isn’t just about productivity — it’s about creative flow.
FAQ: Using a Stream Deck with DaVinci Resolve
Can I use a Stream Deck with DaVinci Resolve without a profile?
Yes — but be prepared to spend a lot of time mapping shortcuts manually. You’ll need to assign every button, design your layout from scratch, and constantly tweak it as you go. That’s why having a ready-to-use profile saves you hours of setup.
What’s the difference between the Standard and XL profiles?
Both versions are included in your purchase. The Standard (15-key) profile is compact and efficient, while the XL (32-key) version offers more tools per screen and reduces page-switching — ideal for power users or studio setups.
Is this compatible with the free version of DaVinci Resolve?
Yes. This Stream Deck profile works perfectly with both DaVinci Resolve Studio and the free version (version 18 or later).
Can I customize the layout after importing?
Absolutely. Once imported, you can rearrange, remove, or replace any function to match your personal preferences. The profile gives you a solid foundation — but you’re always in control.
Does this profile work on Windows and macOS?
Yes. The Stream Deck software and the included profiles are fully compatible with both Windows and macOS, as long as you’re running DaVinci Resolve 18 or newer.
What if I don’t have a Stream Deck yet?
If you’re still considering getting one, here’s the short answer: it’s worth it. Even the base model can drastically speed up your workflow in DaVinci Resolve. It becomes a natural extension of your grading tools — and with this profile, you’ll get the most out of it on day one.
