Are there any updates as of 2022 that allow this to work with Lumitri Color in Premier Pro CC?
Asked by: Brent
All Tangent products such as the Tangent Element Tk Panel are able to control the Lumetri Color panel in Adobe Premiere Pro, though some newer functions are not able to be controlled externally due to those parameters not being included in the API.

question

Is the Tangent Element Tk Panel compatible with Avid Media Composer 8.X?
Asked by: Ames
Unfortunately Avid have not added native support for Tangent panels within any of their products. It is still possible to map keyboard shortcuts to the panel controls however this is obviously far more limited than native support.
