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 template, a transparent (overhead projector) sheet and a laser printer.

SAVE

Clear+SAVE deletes clip. As a confirmation the clip number and its TC in is briefly shown in the OSD.


Note the current driver for the Shuttle controllers is old and imperfect, e.g. the driver only sends events to the window having focus and some buttons don't work the first time. Contour Design is planning to develop a new driver but no date has been set.
