Overview

The Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Micro Color Panel is a compact, professional-grade control device designed for color grading in DaVinci Resolve. It’s tailored for colorists who want the utmost control over the look of their film, and it’s the perfect way to level up your color grades.

The Color Panel is a great tool and easy to use, but it definitely can feel overwhelming if one is new to color grading. If you’re a beginner, you might want to learn the basics without the panel, but once you feel like you know what you are doing, it can definitely streamline and speed up your workflow. It’s also an expensive piece of equipment that one would be hard-pressed to justify buying for personal use, so definitely make use of it while you are at Middlebury! – Neel
