🎥 Contour Design ShuttleXpress - Ergonomic Editing Shuttle with 5 Programmable Buttons - Video Editing Equipment for Mac and PC Systems Review

Very disappointed. The software cannot be installed on Windows 10. I downloaded the drivers according to the Circuit website instructions. When installing, it shows that there is not enough disk space and there is 3TB available on the C drive. I also tried installing as administrator. I needed a good shuttle to work with Vegas as I've been using the shuttle on my keyboard for editing videos for a number of years. Too bad jog shuttles make frame-by-frame video editing so easy. Contacted the…

I originally bought this in April 2016 and didn't like it. because he couldn't do something very simple - emulate a mouse wheel with an inner circular control. Well, recently (December 2017) I wanted a separate set of mouse buttons for RSI relief reasons, so I dug it out of memory. Look: it looks like the software has been updated in the meantime! Now I can do all my normal clicks and scrolls on it! This is great - I just ordered a second unit for my office PC. I don't know exactly when the…

This works perfectly when set up correctly. The only problem I had was that the software worked correctly depending on what app I had open. Otherwise, the preset buttons you installed will not work for Adobe Premiere, for example. This is because it doesn't switch automatically (at least on Windows 10) unless you set the software icon to the Windows taskbar in the lower-right corner of the screen. (next to the clock and internet status icons). Then when you want to select the software mode and…

I bought one of these and ended up sending it back thinking it was no longer compatible with the Mac with the new High Sierra updates but turns out I was wrong. I bought another one and tried this one and it works! Some settings need to be changed to make it work. I don't know why it's a secret, the company doesn't seem to update their forum very often. There is a post on the Contour forums that describes the settings (thanks to the user who posted it!), but basically you have to toggle the…

I've been using it since I bought it in 2014 and haven't had any preforming issues. I use it for drawing, tactile jogging, and buttons that I prefer to put in my Wacom tablet. Being tactile means I can keep my hand on it and focus on the screen without having to think about what's where or deal with the less-precise touch wheel. The outer wheel can be twisted and then brought back to the center. I use this to zoom in and out of my canvas. The inner wheel can spin freely, I use it to rotate the…

I do a lot of video editing and I have it installed on my studio system. So I have this device on the left, the keyboard in the middle, and the Magic Trackpad on the right. The device comes with software and once you download it the device is pretty much ready to use. It comes preloaded with templates for many applications. For example, when I'm in the iTunes app (I'm on an Apple/Mac), the device performs things like volume control, changing tracks, and other standard iTunes functions. If you…

I had one of these on a much older Mac and loved it until it broke 10 years later. I am now buying another one for a 2017 Macbook Pro (running 10.13) to use with Adobe Premiere. Almost 15 years later, this shuttle looks and feels the same, but there's no point in fixing something that ain't broke. The button layout is ideal for one-handed use, making it easy to remember button layouts and speed up editing without having to look at the device. The top 3 buttons actually have fingertip grooves so
