On the one hand it’s nice and small, light weight and therefore highly portable, but on the other hand I would prefer it if the hand placement had a bit more ergonomic support, as it feels a little flat on the desk.

When you hammer down the L key a few times in the app you can get the playhead to zip along nicely, but when using the Shuttle Pro v2 and cranking the wheel hard to the right it doesn’t produce the same pace of results.Īnother tweak that I would make – if I had my way – is the actual physical design of the device. One of the things I’d like to improve on the Shuttle is the actual speed of shuttling in Premiere Pro. I wish the Logitech G13 had a similar function to print your keyboard graphically, as all it outputs is a measly text list.

Another tip is to click on Export Settings Info… to create a PDF image of the preset and it’s controls. With so many potential applications in the list, a useful tip is to right click on the User > All Applications icon and select ‘Show Installed Apps Only’, which reduces things considerably. If you’re on a Mac, make sure you have version 3 and everything will be fine. I did have a few teething problems setting everything up initially – settings didn’t stick and a macro wouldn’t work – but this turned out to be entirely my own fault as I’d installed an old (v2.7) version of the driver.

You’ll want to grab the latest drivers and other downloads from the Contour Design forum, as well as the latest user guides and button maps in order to personalise your Shuttle Pro. When you are using the Shuttle and switch application it automatically switches settings along with you to the new application, this makes it equally useful in Chrome as in Premiere Pro! Tips on Customising your Shuttle Pro V2 The only one that seemed to be obviously missing, was for DaVinci Resolve, which apparently is in the works. There are also presets for things like Chrome, Excel, Mail, iTunes to name just a few. It also comes packed with tons presets for a huge number of creative apps including the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, Lightworks, FCPX, Avid and a few more exotic things like ScreenFlow, VLC Media Player, Toast Titanium, Final Draft and many others.

The Shuttle controller set up interface is intuitive, easy to use and flexible enough to accommodate lots of different working styles and requirements. Although if you’re using it in multiple applications you aren’t going to want to be swapping out the labels every time – so I left mine blank and just had a screen grab of my set up to hand. The device has 15 customisable buttons, with the top 9 key cover’s being removable so that you can print out little labels from this free template, to stick under them, which is really helpful when you’re learning how you’ve set up your keys. The middle of that shuttle wheel also includes a smaller, ‘finger-twiddle-able’, 360 degree shuttle wheel that’s intended for more controlled manoeuvring, for example frame by frame navigation. What’s great about the Shuttle, compared to say the Logitech G13 programmable keyboard, is that it has a responsive spring-loaded shuttle wheel in the centre that allows you to wind through your footage in much more pleasing and tactile manner.

Contour were kind enough to send me one to review here on the blog, and I’ve updated this popular post – Film Editing Keyboards, Mice, Controllers and More – to include the device. The ShuttlePRO v2 from Contour Design is a nifty little editing peripheral, and a popular one with editors doing certain kinds of work.
