![]() ![]() It was designed to be mnemonic not ergonomic. When FCP7 became popular I started getting FCP only jobs, and for ages I used the stock key layout and it drove me nuts. It’s slightly modified to my taste, but it’s very close. Remap the edit software shortcut keys to the standard Avid layout If you want to speed up your editing and make your life easier on a QWERTY keyboard: ![]() Jog/shuttle controllers are more about ergonomics. A standard keyboard with a good shortcut layout is pretty decent. That said, for all of that, shortcut keys are the easiest way to speed up your editing. There is something about the jog and shuttle control on the old analog systems that gives you a better feeling of control over the images. I’ve tried most tools out there from taping bits of film together, through 3/4“ tape, to countless bits of software. Nothing is perfect - and there are still issues - but using Avid with these controllers is as good as anything I’ve found so far. I’m always looking for a tool that is a joy to use, or refining the tool to make working with it more fun. ![]() This is particularly noticeable if you care about frame accurate editing. Keys are faster, so I want the quickest, most comfortable way to hit the keys I use the most.Ī jog/shuttle style controller is often faster and more accurate on a timeline than a mouse. That requires lots of keys, or digging through menus with a mouse. I always have to unplug the mouse, when I go to sleep, otherwise it's glowing all night and even waking up the computer from time to time.Modern editing software has a lot of ways to move images around. If I wanna use a different mouse, I could potentially switch between scrolling speeds.( Assuming the system preference setting dedicated to it is editable via a script, without needing to ask for confirmation)ī) Can you tell a USB device to shut down, when the MacBook is on standby? Perhaps these things deserve separate posts, butĪ) Would it be possible(using KM) to toggle scrolling speed with a modifier key? I'm used to a G502, having a dedicated mechanical switch to let the wheel fly. I essentially want primary and secondary mouse clicks to do different things, when I press one of my mouse buttons with my thumb. I'm only bummed out, that it's option to trigger something else when modifier keys are pressed won't work when those modifier keys have been triggered via the mouse instead of the keyboard. I hope I'm able to replicate that with modifier keys, but first I need a mouse with signals, that can be read universally. I also love the ability to hold down the G button with my thumb, which gives the other buttons (incl 1+2) other functions on hold. some other mouse, compromising on looks and the assortment and arrangement of extra buttons. Its extra buttons don't give any signals.Īnd from its own GHub software (which is an absolute menace!) I'm not able to trigger something, that can be picked up by KM or Better Touch Tool. On Karabiner EventViewer (which comes with Karabiner Elements, a fantastic software to change the signals your keyboard sends out per default) the signals are these objects: ![]() On KM I see USB Receiver Button 1 - 5 with 5 being the back button and 1 being a simple left-click on my mouse. Have any of you had experience with different programmable keyboards and mice? ![]()
