VidBlaster has built-in native support for the Contour Design ShuttlePRO v2 controller. Simply install it per the manufacturer's instructions and it will be automatically detected. If you wish to create labels for some of the controller's buttons you can use this (Word) template, a transparent (overhead projector) sheet and a laser printer.
