It might be perfect for some

I think if you have a specific workflow that can be adapted for this then that could be great. I couldn't line everything up perfectly, so I was still tethered to the keyboard, trackpad, or mouse. I'm not entirely sure if this speeds up my editing process in Adobe Camera Raw, so I sent it back. Great feel and look of a product I wanted to work with but didn't quite fit my workflow.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Can't remember

Actually very helpful.

I'm the type of person who gets carried away with useless products like this that end up not being used in my daily workflow. I have to say CT with a magnifying glass broke that trend for me. I place it to the left of the keyboard and use it with my mouse for video editing in Premier Pro. This eliminated the need for my keyboard when editing, the only time I move my hands to the keyboard is when typing in file headers when exporting. While I'm not sure everyone can turn it on the same way, for…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • So far so good

Great device, but be careful when using a paid internet connection

This is an amazing (if expensive) device. This has significantly reduced my workflow time in Lightroom. However, and this is the reason for my 3-star vs. 4-star rating. The device generates some kind of internet traffic to the Azure IP address. I've been watching it for a while and it's generating 128k constant traffic to an internet address I can't figure out the details for. I contacted support and they couldn't give me much information other than to say that the Loupedeck is a network device

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Hard to say

For now, skip Loupedeck CT

I'm a creative professional and I wanted to love Loupedeck CT, but despite everything I've tried to get this product to work (software updates, plugin downloads, online -troubleshooting forums etc.) he just didn't do what was advertised. I use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects and Premiere Pro almost every day and maybe 2-3 buttons and controls on the Loupedeck CT worked with those applications. It worked a bit better in Final Cut Pro, but I need my hardware to run 100% of the time in

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Clarity

Avoid at all costs!

Terrible experience after using Loupedeck keyboard for the first time I decided to try it. The first Loupedeck suffered from sticky buttons, and while I liked the workflow, the hardware left a lot to be desired. I ordered this and tried it in Lightroom and DaVinci Resolve and found the workflow too cumbersome and complex to build muscle memory to save time. It tries to do too much and seems like overly complex hardware. I decided it wasn't for me and sent it back to Revain and Loupedeck charged

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Functionality

FCPX: Editing and color grading is fun again

This thing is amazing! I'm pretty fast with keyboard and mouse when using FCPX and didn't think there was anything I could do to speed things up. It was weird to get used to for the first few days, but once I started treating it like an add-on and not trying to do everything on the device, it was awesome! I probably sped up editing by 20% early on, but it's a pleasure to use. Now editing is fun again! The audio and slicing features are great, but the color grading is to die for. It is very easy

Pros
  • Practical thing
Cons
  • Some quirks

Not for professional use. Delay

Used for post effects, return. I thought this would be a smart way to deal with the After Effects API. Unfortunately, it's still more of a keyboard controller. This causes an insane lag. For example, you can't move the timeline back and forth without it slowly catching up with you. The longer you swipe, the longer it takes to catch up with the screen. This is because the plugin keeps the calls in a list and iterates through them instead of prioritizing them for a smooth GUI experience. How it…

Pros
  • Solid Type
Cons
  • Without Auto
