A Compact Control Panel for Color Grading in DaVinci Resolve
Sweetwater is chocked full of professionals who work with video every day, and they absolutely love the feature set and small profile of this Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Mini Panel. It contains everything found in BMD’s Micro Panel, plus an upper deck with two 5-inch LCD screens, eight soft keys, and eight soft knobs that double as push-button resets for their individual parameters. Also found on the upper deck are left- and right-side button panels, which control myriad functions such as generating various Nodes and switching between different palettes of DaVinci Resolve Studio’s Color Page. The Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Mini Panel also comes bundled with an activation key for DaVinci Resolve Studio 18, one of the world’s foremost software entries for video editing (and its Fairlight audio panel is no slouch either).
Bundled with DaVinci Resolve Studio 18
DaVinci Resolve Studio has a shining reputation as the go-to software for efficient color grading and video that pops. But Blackmagic Design has also expanded Resolve Studio with powerful nonlinear editing tools, making the software a veritable one-stop shop for post-production needs. You can edit video and audio, color correct, finish, and deliver a final product — all from one screen. It even allows you to import projects as XML files from other NLEs, including Premiere Pro. Essential tools are grouped in a streamlined tab-based system that keeps features hidden when you don’t need them, so the software has a clean look and feel simultaneously optimized for individual users, large teams, and even studio owners. Beneath the hood, there are dozens of pro-ready features, including collaborative timelines for multi-editor operations and automatic scene detection, that let content creators and production houses repurpose older content at lightning speeds. Other top notable features include 4K output, top-notch temporal and spatial noise reduction, and 3D tools, to name a few. Furthermore, unlike other NLE video software, DaVinci Resolve Studio is a one-time buy — no subscription fees or recurring payments!
