Introduction

If you spend any amount of time editing video, you will know how frustrating it can be to deal with the myriad of keyboard shortcuts that are required. Not only that, but it's also often difficult to get to exactly the right frame of video. Back when we didn't edit video on computers, we had cool features like joggers and shuttle controls that made editing easy and productive. Computers added a lot to the editing experience, but the control surfaces that were conducive to video editing were lost in the process.

This device has literally transformed the way that I work with my video editing applications.

Enter the Contour Design ShuttlePRO V.2! I originally saw this device when I was shopping around for a case for my iPod. Contour Design makes great cases for the iPod, so I decided to try out their ShuttlePRO V.2 control surface. Boy, am I glad that I did! This device has literally transformed the way that I work with my video editing applications.
