Really, the value of a shuttle dial for video editing is that rapid ability to tick-tock forward and backward, when things are really getting precise.įor that purpose the ShuttleXpress is great for most everyone: and at under $60, it’s a no-brainer to buy, especially when you’re starting out.

True, you could also turn the perimeter of the dial for “scrubbing” at intuitively variable speeds through your footage (a hold-over from spools of magnetic tape), but that’s still a matter of getting cue points in the ballpark. While you could always press the forward/backward arrows on your keyboard to move frame-by-frame, that would occupy your right hand when it could be put to better use multitasking on the mouse. 90% of its value came from its shuttle dial, and even there, especially its center hub that clicks as it rotates, with indents up top for your finger. But a company called Contour Design has always been there, and for me, I was using their ShuttleXpress for years. Who’s making them? One of the big surprises is, almost no one.

If you edit, you need one, plain and simple. Why do most digital non-linear video editors (home studios in particular) still lack them? But jog shuttles never went out of fashion, and they never will. That latter thing of rainbows is growing extinct: to take Adobe Premiere as an example, you’re better off just moving your mouse around than remembering which colorful keys to tap on for the most part. Old-skool vets of tape editing know especially well what it means to sit in a “suite” with big jog shuttles and colorful keyboards. You can dedicate your primary screen to your timeline, effects and playback monitors, with your second screen dedicated to organizing your assets like a storyboard.īut there’s another and even more under-appreciated tool for video editing: dedicated controls, beyond the computer keyboard.

I teach four sessions per year on how to edit with Adobe Premiere, and the first/best advice I’ve come up with is that productivity is all about screen real estate: it’s crazy to work from a laptop screen, let alone just one monitor, when it’s so utterly cheap nowadays to grow your editing workspace by adding at least one extra monitor, for the cost of a few beers. Same thing goes for the gear you need in the editing suite.

I'll also be a little sad to lose functionality outside of Resolve, as I use the ShuttlePro in other programs as well (albeit rarely).The creators of this product, Contour Design, are offering readers here an exclusive 20% discount off any purchase from their webstore using coupon code FP20 at: It’s a common insight that editing a film is where most of the magic happens that it’s underestimated. If it isn't going to speed up my style of work significantly I'd just as soon put the $300 towards more storage. I was curious if anyone here had used both devices and could say if the Speed Editor is a definite step up. The speed editor is very tempting, but I am not quite sure if I am just eyeing it because it is shiny and new. I'm a bit torn though - I rarely use the cut page (sometimes for first assembly), and I never work with multicam work (although I am curious about using it's functions for logging different takes).

I am a bit tempted by the new speed editor, to have something more robust and purpose built for the software I am using.

CONTOUR SHUTTLE CONTROLLER FOR DAVINCI RESOLVE PRO

I've mostly been happy with it with the combo, first for many years in Premiere Pro and for the last two years almost exclusively in Resolve. I'm a freelance editor, and I've cut for a long time using a keyboard, trackball mouse and Contour ShuttlePro v2.
