The ShuttleXpress is a powerful productivity enhancement tool for everyone... great for laptop DV editing on the go!Modeled after Contour's award-winning ShuttlePRO, the ShuttleXpress brings professional multimedia control to users at an even more attractive price. It can be used by itself, or to even further enhance your control, along with a ShuttlePRO for multiple device control.The ShuttleXpress is a 5-button Jog and Shuttle multimedia control surface. It is amazingly flexible and can be used with virtually any application. The ShuttleXpress comes pre-configured for many of the leading audio and video applications. You can easily customize the ShuttleXpress for virtually any application.The ShuttleXpress is designed for ergonomic integrity and maximizing productivity, allowing one-hand access to the five fully programmable buttons and jog/shuttle knob. The inner ring or 'jog' rotates through 360 degrees and provides precision frame-by-frame control. The outer black ring or 'shuttle' is rubberized and spring-loaded. It facilitates fast forward and rewind. You can also use the jog and shuttle for many other purposes such as scrolling, volume control, and sequencing.


User Comments about the Contour Designs ShuttleXpress

But getting this thing going took far far more time than it should have.The build quality is excellent and it does what it is supposed to do very well. For what it is, this is an awesome product. But be prepared to fuss with it for a while before you get it working properly. The problem is that the setups that ship with the product are totally out of date and their webs site looks like it was developed by a 14 year old. If you edit a lot of video this makes your life infinitely easier. Ultimately I got them to send me instructions on how to set it up to work with the latest version of iMovie.



The Shuttle works great and it's very intuitive to work with. If that were the case I'd use it in Priemiere and Final Cut also. I'd prefer a shuttle that you can give a spin and it'd slowly slow down. I use it especially in After Effects to go frame by frame. I'm a little bummed however with the fast forward, it does work and all, but it stops pretty abrubt when you let go. but the price is right.



This thing's awesome for video editing. Works really well with audio workstations as well. It just seems to make editing more fun.



Excellent design, sensitive to the touch and an even better price. Highly recommended for audio/video editors of all kinds.



I love this thing, with one caveat: the knurled knob's finger groove is too deepset in the wheel. It is not comfortable to turn at all, and gets stuck at the top of every turn when you're trying to turn it quickly.
