Totally agree on the big box, if you have the money go for it. I would.
Totally disagree on the midi boxes at least where its about my midi boxes. Yes 99% of them on the market are crap because people think a few macros is all you need.
Most are nothing more then simple push button devices with single action marco buttons. Mine do not fall into that category.
This is 3 years development with dedicated programming , purpose build user interaction ,etc, so no not comparable at all.
And luckily my customer feedback is the same. They are baffled , because like you they think its just a play thing, untill you actualy start using it.
Regularly get mails how it changes the way they grade. This all for the APC40 version as no experience yet on the new thingy. Will see how that goes but is differently targeted , more at portable power.
Have a few that ebayed their Tangent elements after loosing so much time on all the submenus. Or begging me to implement it also on Linux Just saying.

And lastly , keep in mind the budget and target audience. Its not big facilities, A+ level graders etc. Its for the indies, small poor freelancers that dont have tons to spend, Dit’s, i have a few cinematoraphers. And what you get for it. If it was not my pet project , which i just build for myself in the end, i would have stopped long time ago. Zero profit. All time and love but i guess that makes all the difference. Payment for me is the feedback i get.

??
Not sure i understand you question. The Beatstep Resolve Edition is like the bigger APC40 one of the most powerfull controllers on the market and controls more then 90-95%% of the color page.To get anywhere close on functions you need to spend thousands of EU/Dollars. Why do you think i would leave out a simple 4 wheels ????
Think
– all primaries controls (minus the balls) on wheel/log/bars/rgb mixer pages
– all qualifiers controls
– all shapes controls
– all curves including XvsY and Custom curve points direct control
– All sizing pages and all controls in there
– Key page
– Blur/sharpen/mist page
– Noise Reduction MFX page
– 20 OFX fully mapped
– 5 custom programmable banks (16 knobs each) using just the knobs/buttons on the controller to program
– HUI mixer in fairliight page
– Super smooth JOG/SCRUB in Edit and Fairlight page

The only thing this one can not do is BALLS. For that i typicaly use a Tangent Ripple if i realy need it for just the balls control and anything else i use my APC40 (bigger brother) version. The Beatstep is more compact and compared to the APC40 only missing tracking control, and a few push button type actions but not much. Check out the instruction video on the APC40 (~1 hr long bit outdated but still good enough) which gives you an idea what these controllers do. In a week or so i will make a full video on the Beatstep.

There’s more …..
Akai APC-40 and as of today also Arturia Beatstep based budget solutions after some hardcore development over now 3 years.

If ACEScg exr out is your only issue, you can contact Nick Shaw who sells a set of resolve DCTL’s for all aces flavors cross conversions. I used these for several vfx projects

There is QTedit in the pro media tools suite from digital rebellion. https://www.digitalrebellion.com/promedia/

I use that sometime to push metadata into a set of files. It has templates for all common camera metadata fields and allows complete custom fields. You can do lots of other handy things with it as well like restripe / add timecode tracks , remove empty tracks, reconform to diff framerates etc.
It can do batch and single files, without rerendering.

But not found a way yet to automate in such a way that it can take metadata from a csv. For that you need some commandline tools. ave not found one that can do this.

Yeah april it was indeed. I immediately implemented that in my custom controller last year.
Shows that it can take a while , but if we keep asking it may eventually make it in an upgrade. 😉

[Glenn Venghaus]

Yep impressive support and super friendly guys.

Anyone ?? need this one badly
