Professional colorists wouldn't be nearly as effective if they had to rely on a keyboard and mouse. Instead, they use specifically designed panels. Here is a review of an entry-level panel for color grading from BlackMagic Design.

You could maybe think about sticking the panel on one of those pull-out trays that hold keyboards and then keep your keyboard and mouse on the desk surface. That way the panel can be there when you need it but tucked away when you don't.

@filmfiremedia1700 6 лет назад

Quick fix for keyboard and panel issue - Get yourself a desk with a pull out keyboard shelf. Then you can have both in very easy distance without climbing over one another

I love this tool! Super stoked this pretty affordable! It makes color grading so quick. I believe it makes you think less on grading and it just feels more natural and organic.

@justinburgan 7 лет назад

You make a 6 figure salary and can't shell out for this? Whatever your 6 figure salary is (must be nice) this is 1% or less than what you make.. That's not my point, this is the micro panel at $1,000.. the mini is at $3,000, and the advanced is at $29,000. So yeah, compared to those, $1,000 is pretty affordable. Not the average American is a filmmaker, colorist, or editor. Most of which work for a studio who would easily drop $1k for a quicker workflow, because we all know time is money.

Just pair it with a streamdeck on the side - then you dont need the keyboard at all

...by just customizing the keyboard mapping, the add node thing is no problem at all...I set the F1 to F4 buttons with add node function (different kind of nodes)...Th only thing, that is missing is an On/Off switch...

@Torranium Год назад

It works fine at my macbook pro !

@jbaldsing 5 лет назад

in other reviews people recommend the mini panel instead of the micro as it has more buttons/wheels for advanced users who regularly do advanced complex grading. But having a closer look at the buttons from this review I think the micro will handle the demands of advanced users. Also what u say at 2:42 isn't correct, u can adjust the same areas targeted by lift gain and/or gamma individually without affecting the whole image by using shadows mid tones and /or highlights instead.

ps - have you tried the Palette Aluminum Professional Control Surface Kit? what if like most film makers, video and photographers, they're using multiple programs to get their finished product... the tangent looks good from cross app compatibility - but it's 3k to have all three pieces - thoughts Tom?

@sambalsamurai9672 3 года назад

Excellent review +1 If i MUST mention one thing: I lost the number of times you say "LIKE I SAID" becomes annoying / learn to not say it more than once per video even then it can be omitted entirely. For the rest I agree with you on everything that you said (!!!!!LIKE I SAID!!!!!) an excellent review!!

@gabrielteran7393 5 месяцев назад

I think you never saw a colourist suit with the Advanced Panel. I disagree with you, it's small and perfect to set as every DIT have it in the film industry. The keyboard goes on a pullout tray.

@brmoogma 7 лет назад

..I think the weight is nice, because that thing does not move, when using it....

@nategarcia7694 4 года назад

ok, got a stupid question. I love the idea of having one of these but my wallet doesn't. 1,000 + bucks is out of the question for me right now. Since this is just a controller/control surface, couldn't I just theoretically map a midi (music)keyboard controller in the same way? lol I know it won't be as good but couldn't you use the sliders and knobs in a similar way? The big plus is I already have this equipment. Probably just wishful thinking.

@TomAntos 4 года назад

You can use midi mapping in lots of programs but not in Davinci Resolve. At least not to control the most important functions

@mydailyflight 7 лет назад

Very informativ video Tom Antos! I own a Tangent Wave for home use and a Tangent Ripple for color grading on travels. Do you think the new panels from BlackmagicDesign are more usefull and worth to change? Thank you for your good work here!

@bobuk5722 7 лет назад

Hi Tom. Hmm. How about getting, or making a two level stand to raise the key board up to a more ergonomic position? You could do a quick video on it! The lack of a node button is a good point. The weight is what it is, you want quality controls you get weight. You don't want the board scooting about. I don't think your comments about it only working with DaVinci is a valid point. The software is ridiculously cheap and BM make their money on their hardware, making it generic would put the price up at any rate. If buttons don't respond it or the software is faulty, send it back. I can't comment on the laptop driver problem, but it does sound rather strange. I look forward to the Tangent panel review and any comments back from your viewers about button pushes. Er, no, I have no conection with BM! Cheers, Bob.

Justin McDonald I not saying you have to have one it's personal preference and some people want to invest in a physical solution and can help you grade faster and more precise

@habsrus 7 лет назад

Don't recall Tom or Blackmagic Design ever stating that their customers "need" this tool. Control panels such as these promise to "possibly" speed-up your workflow when colouring/grading. For a vast majority of users, it absolutely does.

@knocknapeasta 7 лет назад

Then you clearly don't grade professionally, or have had anything professionally graded

@OzgurAkyildizfilm 6 лет назад

it is useless because it only supports davinci resolve. End of story. Since new toy consumers only use FCPX and Free Resolve they think those are the apps that pros use. Good luck!

@johnbancroft5242 6 лет назад

I use FCPX and Davinci Resolve Studio, I have been editing professionally for 29 years now, originally was Linear editing and using a genlock for titles ect. then FCP/PREMIERE/AVID. I use Windows and Mac OS, I have used Adobe Premiere but it's too slow and poorly optimised for my workflow, we are seeing a huge shift over to resolve from both Adobe Premiere and FCPX editors.

@doug_EX 5 лет назад

Özgür Akyıldız well, don’t buy it then. It’s useless to you, not to Resolve users.
