This new engine in the beta allows you to not only do a custom mapping for DaVinci, but for other programs that don’t use the panel, though you must go in and program the positions on screen as it is basically faking mouse moves. So not full customization (not possible unless Black Magic allows it which is highly unlikely.
And everyone will need to program for their own monitor setup, which is a pain, but once programmed will work.
DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor $395, an increase of $100.
DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard $595, a saving of $400.
DaVinci Resolve Micro Panel $795, a saving of $200.
DaVinci Resolve Mini Panel $1995, a saving of $1000.
Now the Speed Editor was $295 and included Resolve Studio, so that is going the wrong way, but $595 is getting better for the Editor Keyboard (down $400_ and $1000 off the mini panel is great, though I will stick with my Tangent.
The thing is I know that Blackmagic Panels are better built than Tangent, but they also only work with DaVinci, and even with the price drop are still so expensive. And I only work with ergonomic keyboards so the editing Keyboard is useless to me, so I was interested in the Speed Editor, but it’s focus on the Cut Panel turns me off. Honestly I know you aren’t reading this Blackmagic, but I would love a smaller panel with basically the dial and a few other buttons, but I know it wouldn’t have customizable buttons or work with other software, so…
And the customability is the weird thing, since DaVinci doesn’t let you customize the buttons nor let them work with anything else. And the buttons on the Speed Editor are too focused on the Cut Page, which I do not like and do not use, I would much rather have it based on the edit page, but would also want it to work with Premiere Pro, so…
