ooooooh yes - I can see for rotoscoping how that would work great. That IS one plus of the contour - it has a click turn if I remember right - the MC Transport is just smooth - so a frame by frame in ae feels less precise.
Hey all I've got a big premiere project and ever since
they removed the software shuttle buttons in ppro I've found
the J-K-L shortcuts aren't as fast as they are in FCP. With
so much footage to go through, I'm considering a hardware
jog / shuttle. couple of questions:
- Are there any peripherals that also work with AE? or are
specifically for AE? My guess is no. The one I'm looking at
has multiple software macro buttons, that may be able to be
mapped to AE shortcuts, which would make it worth it. I know
my cintiq macro buttons work great in AE for roto, so I don't
see why it wouldn't work.
- Do any of you actually use a hardware shuttle? Is it worth it?
My concern is cluttering up my desk for something I'll only use
sparingly
I'm looking at this one, which for $100 isn't gonna
break the bank anyway.
