Contour Design Shuttle Pro V2 - Enhanced Multimedia Editing Tool with Jog Wheel & Shuttle Dial - Mac & PC Compatible - Customizable Shortcuts & Macros

Hello Amazon,This is the single most important tool that you can use for your workflow. It is perfect in its simplicity in every way. Now what it allows for you to do is program your way out of hunting and pecking through your apps by putting all of your important things at the press of a button. If you have to go through 4000 wedding images and cull them it makes it go like butter in Lightroom, Photo Mechanic or Capture One. It's seamless. If you have complex editing in Premier Pro you can scrub through videos like a pro. If you are websurfing, working in word, excel or anything else it makes it painless if you have to do repetitive tasks over and over again. You just assign the command to a button and woosh you're done.What it doesn't have and what I can find is it's only flaw is Overlay support so that you can call up a shortcut of commands.If you use the shuttlepro in more than 1 program that puts you at 15 button commands + 14 possible rotating outer wheel commands + 28 possible transition commands that's 57 possible programmable command combinations. Are you going to use them all for every program no, but you could. If you fully optimize one program with all possibilities that's 57 things to remember. If you use just the basic 15 buttons for 4 programs that's 60 buttons to remember. Ultimately making the product only usable for those programs that you spend the most time in and have taken the time to learn your programmed button commands.I would love to use the shuttlepro in all of my programs but I don't necessarily want to memorize all of the combinations for each and every single program. I think that would be impossible.If you focus on one program then this is all that you need. I really wish that they added overlay support so that I could routinely use it for multiple applications.I have included for free all of my workflow layouts. That's 12 setting profiles with 174 button combinations minimum, it's actually more than that. The company says that there aren't that many owners complaining so nothing is being done about it. That is the only reason that this review is a 3. I just want a pop-up like Wacom has.

Simple and intuitive, ergonomic and worth every cent. Plug it in, download and install the driver from the Contour company website, and spend a few minutes customizing it EXACTLY how you want it to work for you. I don't care if you're like me and edit videos for YouTube from the couch, or if you're sitting at your fancy desk job where you edit video for a living. It will save you time and effort...constantly. I use it with Adobe Premiere Pro CC on my laptop right alongside my track ball and it is very rapidly becoming second nature to me and very comfortable to use. The buttons, the shuttle, the dial...all have a good, smooth and sturdy feel to them. The device itself feels well made and has a reasonable footprint considering how much use I get out of it. This is one of those "shut-up-and-take-my-money" products that I will recommend to anyone with a desire to edit video. Even if you're one of those people who have all the hot-keys memorized and can mash them out without looking at the keyboard, the shuttle-dial combination with the five buttons above it for navigation (in the default setting) is worth it. Add on that it also has ten other buttons and ALL FIFTEEN buttons AND the shuttle AND the dial are all fully programmable, and now you're cooking with fire! If you're on the fence about buying one, go ahead get one. It's worth it.

This works like magic. I use it on my MacMini, and windows 10 Desktop. Works with different software with tons of built in presets. You can also create your own custom key settings. I use it on software such as Final cut, photoshop, lightroom, 3shape design, autocad, etc. This is a life saver and not to mention its easy on your wallet too. Best value out there for anything in its class. I've seen it outperform some products 3X its price! This has saved me hours of my editing time. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great editing companion.
