Apple Final Cut PRO and Final Cut Express
Q: What are the differences between the three Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express application
settings?
A: There are 3 Final Cut settings: Final Cut Pro/Express (Edit Viewer), Final Cut Pro/Express
(Edit Timeline), and Final Cut Pro/Express (Log & Capture). The (Edit Viewer) setting loads
by default.
Use the Final Cut Pro/Express (Edit Viewer
) and Final Cut Pro/Express (Edit Timeline)
settings for editing tasks in the Viewer, Canvas, and Timeline. The button assignments are
the same for both settings. The difference between them is how the Shuttle ring is
programmed:
- The (Edit Viewer) setting uses frame advance commands for precise shuttle control.
This setting is optimized for the Viewer window.
- The (Edit Timeline) setting uses the JKL play transport commands to shuttle at different
speeds of play. This setting is optimized for the Timeline.
The (Log & Capture
) setting is optimized for the Log & Capture window. Use this setting for
controlling your DV camera or VTR from within the Log and Capture window. Please note
the changes of the button assignments compared to the two “Edit” settings.
Emagic Logic Audio
Q: How do I use my Shuttle device with Logic Audio?
A: To utilize the Shuttle device mapping with Logic Audio to its fullest extent, it is necessary to
use the provided Logic Preferences file. This file contains Logic's default key commands
plus a few extra assignments that map out to the Shuttle device controls.
Importing the accompanying Logic Preferences file is necessary, as some of these
advanced functions are not assigned by default.
Due to the highly configurable nature of Logic Audio, please be aware that by replacing
your Logic Preferences via the steps outlined below, you will be erasing all user-made key
assignments.
If you want to utilize the Shuttle device with your pre-existing key commands, it is of
course quite easy to change the key assignments that the Shuttle device sends accordingly.
Please refer to the Shuttle device Control Panel, where all functions are notated under the
comments field. To configure Logic Audio for your Shuttle device:
1. Open Logic Audio.
2. Open Key Commands Window (Options>Settings>Key Commands).
3. Choose "Import Key Commands..." from the window's Options menu.
4. Select the Logic Preferences file that came with the Shuttle device and click "Open".

A: You must turn on transport controls within Media 100 software to enable your Shuttle
device to function correctly. First, launch Media 100, it must be the front most window.
Second, press "Shift+Num Lock/Clear" to toggle transport controls to On.
