I have been using the Shuttle Pro for a couple of years now. I love this thing. The fact that you can build totally custom settings for nearly any application on the computer makes it very powerful. My only problem is remembering what is programmed on what button, but they make this easy as you can pull up the jog wheel interface, and look, or make a print out of what is programmed (also located in the interface). Awesome with the whole Adobe Production Suite Works well with FCP too. But do not limit yourself to just the NLEs, I use it with everything from Photoshop to Excel.
It is super easy to program and offers ways of working that I never thought of before. Another thing is being that it is so programmable, When editing, you rarely need to touch the keyboard. So one hand stays on the mouse, one on the shuttle pro, and you are one with the computer.
My only gripe is that they force you to have every setting for every piece of software known to mankind. I actually took the time to delete everything I did not use so when modifying my settings, I did not have to scroll through 200 other software titles to get there. If you update the drivers, you need to do it all again. Actually as I use it more and more I am finding that their default set ups are no where near my mind set, so I start from scratch. But they give you a place to start from.
Lastly, 1 recommendation... (from experience)
Choose a button for save and for undo. Make this a standard across all your programmed applications. This way you are not constantly having to remember where they are in program a or z. I personally use 2 buttons on the left side of the lower row (far right undo, and second in, save).

When I bought this item I thought it would be pretty simple to use and get used to. But after looking for a video on the net on how to program it, I have hit a wall. I've tried programming it but it seems not to take so well. It resorts back to origiinal state every time. The programming is not as easy as I thought. I have gone back to using a mouse until I can find a video with step by step programming instructions for newbies. Not everyone is a genius when it comes to new programs. Please make a video for this device so that I can use it properly. Thanks

Comments about Contour Design ShuttlePRO v2 - NLE Multimedia Controller:
- On a Mac you'll have to go into your keyboard settings and change a few things in order for the shuttle to work correctly.
- Received the product fully packaged but one of the plastic caps for the buttons was missing. Poor quality control in the factory I suppose. I contacted Contour Design 3 times by email and phone and haven't been able to get a response on the issue.
- As for the product itself, it does the job. But the buttons up top are a little clunky when clicking play and pause a lot for instance. Buttons should be closer together, easier to push and less bulky

Comments about Contour Design ShuttlePRO v2 - NLE Multimedia Controller:
Easy to use controller. Set up is a breeze works well with the Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 10 even thought the controller is set for version 8, also works well with Acid and Sound Forge. I found the shuttle has helped in gaining more critical edits, fast access to frequently used actions, and over all controlling of software is very good. I find the online resources are limited to a users forum, I have found it difficult to locate templates, upgrades are easy to find on Contours site but the templates are not there but can be found in the users forums. The on board software controller is helpful to manually set up the shuttle for software you have but no template is available.

Comments about Contour Design ShuttlePRO v2 - NLE Multimedia Controller:
So I tried the ShuttlePro to figure out if there's a way to edit video faster. And this controller hasn't let me down. It is very customizable. I selected one of the templates, which are preprogrammed and assigned the most important tools to the buttons. Works like a charm. The only thing I couldn't figure out was how I can make it scroll down when I use the wheel in the MacOS Finder. They guys from Contour design keep the list of supported apps updated on their website. Good support.

Comments about Contour Design ShuttlePRO v2 - NLE Multimedia Controller:
The Contour Design Shuttle Pro 2 is awesome!
I use the Shuttle Pro 2 in my project studio with Reason, Logic, Photoshop and even MS Word. The Jog wheel and shuttle ring are ergonomically easy to use.
It also has excellent usability and programmability, giving control over editing features where I usually needed a mouse.
The programmable buttons allowed me to configure it exactly the way I want to use it in a given multimedia application. This has helped to speed up my work-flow.
Given its price-value and ease of configuration, I strongly recommend this product!

Comments about Contour Design ShuttlePRO v2 - NLE Multimedia Controller:
I bought the Shuttle Pro II to use with Sony Vegas 8. At first I found it did not work, but then I downloaded the current drivers from Contour and the shuttle imediately began to work after the install. Since I have only just begun to discover the full usefulness and application of the shuttle I cannot say a lot, but I can tell you editing frame by frame is greatly enhanced, which is exactly why I purchased this product. I would recommend you purchase this shuttle if you want to enhance you film editing experience.

Comments about Contour Design ShuttlePRO v2 - NLE Multimedia Controller:
The shuttle wheel is pretty basic and intuitive. Once you get the feel of it, it makes editing a whole lot easier. I use it to edit on my laptop using CS5. Out the box it doesn't come with CS5 button configuration, but I believe they released on their website the configurations for CS5 Premiere buttons. Originally I was going to ge a Bela keyboard, but the sales rep said this was way accurate and better. So far no complaints!

Comments about Contour Design ShuttlePRO v2 - NLE Multimedia Controller:
I love the contour ShuttlePRO v2! I just have one complaint not about the tool but the instructions. How much would it cost to have a shuttlepro expert record a few videos on how to program the controller? I can read and follow directions. But to demo the power of the controller. Some quick videos who suffice.
