REF button works in conjunction with PLAY STILL button. When you have PLAY STILL active, you can wipe between Gallery Stills, Timeline Clips and Offline Reference. Awesome feature, very useful!

Jake has been an amazing addition to your channel! So grateful the knowledge you guys are dropping!

[@jvke.p]

Thanks so much Mike!

[@willianaleman6114]

Thanks a lot for the great insight on the Mini Panel. The Ref toggle key in BMD Mini Control Panel changes the reference wipe between the Gallery, Timeline and Offline sources. In order for this to work, the Image Wipe has to be On.

[@senpera]

No pain no gain you killed it with that one 😂 Question: will the wheels work for the hdr wheels? And do you happen to know if they would also work on the micro panel? Loved your vids bro

[@jvke.p]

The wheels do work for the hdr palette. And I would imagine they work for the micro panel as well, just with less control on the panel itself. Thanks!

[@Ilaksha]

REF: This toggle key will change the reference wipe mode between Gallery, Timeline, and Offline Sources.

[@jvke.p]

Yup. Makes perfect sense

[@marietafarfarova]

I hope I am in the right spot here. I'm editing mostly Videos for KZbin and overall Social Media, but as time develops I find myself starting to make higher level videos and starting commercials. Up until now I used FCPX, and it is perfect for easy videos and fast edits, but I find myself hating the magnetic timeline from time to time and want to switch to DaVinci. I now want to go all in and force myself to use it at the beginning because I don't want to see me go back to FCPX every time... As I want to start grading the videos better than previously (I do not have much experience and knowledge in colograding). As I like the editors keyboard really because of the jog wheel it has I am thinking of getting one of these two combinations 1: Blackmagic Editors Keyboard and Blackmagic Mini Panel or 2: Blackmagic Speed Editor and Blackmagic Micro Panel. Note here, I have special shortcuts currently that I use for FCPX that I prbly would copy to DaVinci (Q - trim back, W - cut, E - trim forward, etc.) Also I don't want to get started without one of all of these as I see myself buying one of the things in the future and it would be a waste of money to get only the license now and then buy a hardware where the license is in it... The thing I can't decide: do I need the Mini Panel or is the Micro enough? Do I need the Editors Keyboard or do I just use a normal smallformat keyboard and the speed editor? I would really appreciate if someone could share their thoughts or experiences!!!! Thanks!

[@ImJasonAnthony]

one big thing which really should exist on such panels is a jogwheel to scroll easily trough your footage. Or did i miss something?

[@theqazman]

You just have to pay $28000 more to have that. 😀

I was expecting you to give a critique, share your personal opinions, and tell us why it is or is not worth $3000.

Where is the firmware for Blackmagic Mini Panel?

[@akalantarov]

My main question is why it needs to be so gigantic?

[@KaceyBakerFilms]

Why is a door the size of a person?

[@Justin_Allen]

Great video. I purchased one 7-8 months ago while I am learning how to color correct and while I still have lots of questions...here's my big one. How do you turn yours off? :p I'll come back the next morning and sometimes, not always, both panels are obviously lit with nothing on them. So far all I can do it just unplug it. Also, for a future video. Can you color correct a green screen person against different backgrounds. So far all my green screen work is not to my standards. Let's assume I am lighting correctly. I am just having issues matching backgrounds. Thanks.

[@tomasbaratomas]

If you upgrade the firmware it goes into sleep mode which turns off the lights and displays, then push any button to wake it up (the wake up button press won't register in the settings of what ever you just pressed). Assuming you already did that and sleep mode sometimes fails. Your next option is to unplug or install a breaker somewhere between your panel and power. Why it completely lacks an on off switch is beyond me, seems like the simplest thing especially considering a form factor that has space left to spare.

[@Justin_Allen]

@@tomasbaratomas Thanks for your reply. I have updated the firmware and I would say I am about 50/50 on it going to sleep or just staying lit. And yes, why Blackmagic doesn't put power switches on there products is beyond me. This is not the only product I have from them that has this issue.

[@tomasbaratomas]

​@@Justin_Allen Yes, it's not a rock solid sleep mode. It's an interesting move/non move by BMD. I installed a wireless "trådfri" switch from IKEA to cut the power. The on off button is magnetic so you can stick it on whatever metal you have close by or attach it under the desk to get it out of the way.

[@illegal_opinions]

Is there a control panel that controls everything in the edit tab??

[@garylawsonmedia305]

Hi can you do one on EDITOR KEYBOARD A S THERE NO REAL GOOD DEMO ON IT ? Many thanks

[@Fuffuloo]

I'm curious what the pros/cons would be between the mini panel and the micro panel+streamdeck, from a professional's opinion. Looking into upgrading to one of those two setups after I get a couple more paid gigs.

[@jvke.p]

The main upgrade is the crazy advantage to use knobs for things like curves and windows and other tools. Streamdeck can’t replace that

[@osoriony]

Fantastic video as always. Keep it up!!! I also wanted to ask your opinion on the LG UltraFine 32EP950-B HDR OLED Monitor. Do you think it would be a good monitor for color grading instead of using a $30,000 reference monitor? Is it worth it? Thank you very much for your advice.

[@jvke.p]

I’ll have to do more digging on exact specs but there are a lot of great options out there (for SDR grading).

[@osoriony]

@@jvke.p This is supposed to be able to do HDR as well. Of course, I am asking because one thing is what the companies tell you, and other thing what actually professionals who test them find out after all the hype. In paper seems almost perfect, it would be great if you can find out wether or not is worth it.

[@AdProductionPH]

Definitely worth it!!! Anyway, does the minipanel can control HDR?

[@jvke.p]

It does!

[@argon5685]

Though you color grade in da vinci, people like me would love and appreciate if you please teach us how to color grade in adobe premiere. Yes it's not pro color grading software, but still it will help a huge editor community.

Those are not grading tools.

@@theqazman yes sir. As i mentioned those are not proper tools for color grading. But at least we can do a basic color grading . Because not everyone is using resolve for editing.

[@trevorwright6058]

@@joraphpictures Great review Jake. Love ya teaching style. I stumbled across a Bazilian fella André Rodrigues who has recently created a software interface that unlocks the Tangent Wave 2 to do all and any of the pages including HDR. It is so good! The tangent panel isn't quite as well made as the BM line up. But with his interface you can use his defaults or set up your own. Even able to program any of the tangent panels into davinci. I'm a disciple for sure. Wonderful bloke he is. here a link to his overview. Worth a look!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2nZe5yNiL17d5Y

If you’re charging people for your work as a colorist, or color is part of what you charge for… yes. Because time is money and you’ll work faster and likely better.

[@tomasbaratomas]

The Mini panel has a great feel to it and I find myself using the bottom part 90 % of the time as I am used to keyboard shortcuts for node controls but that's just a matter of habit I guess. On the micro vs the mini I may add that the mini is quite a sturdy and bulky build. The positive side is that it feels very solid, the downside is it takes up quite a lot of desk real estate for what it does and the angles are a bit too wonky to easily router it into the desk. The mini panel also needs AC power to work while the micro panel doesn't. Hope it helps for you who are deciding between the two. Ideally both panels would have a couple of user programmable custom buttons and include a midi protocol for use with other software. But we can't have it all.

[@jvke.p]

This would be a killer addition. And I couldn’t agree more about the unfortunate form factor.

[@joraphpictures]

Thanks
