How well does the Resolve Sat vs Lum curve compare in comparison to more sophisticated subtractive-colour tools?  It's very handy to use!

Hi Kye,
I guess we'll have to wait a couple more weeks to be sure. 
offcourse it could be supply chain issues combined with increased demand because of the pricedrops.
But then again, NAB is end of this month 😁

Hi Remco - yes, I'm waiting on NAB in case something new drops, and if not will have to call around and get in line.  The waiting is hard though!

At work, we have a station with the mni panel and one with the tangent elements (full panels). The tangent offers no suport for the new toll (HDR color), or RGB mixes.... but i still prefer working on it for one simple reason: the mini does ntot have a dedicated button to mark static or dynamic dissolves. I use it  a lot, and its a pain to have a nice panel like the mini and go for the keyboard for a simple shortcut like this. It's very frustrating that BM does not offer a solution to map this keys on the panel.

Sure, on the mini you have control over RGB mixer, the new HDR panel., curves....... but lacking a button for a simple  (yet indispensable) short cut like this?

Both are very smooth and nice to use.... mini is is still a couple of bucks cheaper...

If asked to choose fast, I would go for the Elements. 

Hi Rogerio, I agree about the lack of customisation that Resolve tends to build into their panels - the Speed Editor is the same with lots of single-function keys not re-assignable.  I've carefully looked over the Micro and think it should have almost everything I need, but the ability to even re-assign a few controls would make a huge difference as there's always that one (or two) things we like to use that are unique to how we work and maybe even a particular project.

I've recently found myself in the market for a panel, likely the Micro, but of course it's sold out everywhere.

Does anyone know why it's sold out?

I'm particularly interested in a panel with a small size/weight for use while travelling and to compliment my Speed Editor , so if there's a new panel on the way that's smaller than the Micro then I'd be very keen on that.

Alternatively, you can create a custom qualifier and then apply whatever changes you like.  It should give you the accuracy you're chasing.

Edit: actually I think I misunderstood your question.  the above will only work if you want to apply an adjustment to only a part of the image.

Up and Down arrows go to next and prev clips.  Apart from that (as an amateur) I grade very slowly with the trackpad

and as a bonus, desaturating the shadows and highlights with a gentle Lum vs Sat curve gives a film look as well.

The Matrix - although it's an obvious suggestion and everyone will have seen it, but it is very different to real life.
