1. INTRODUCTION The ShuttlePRO controller uses presets to link its buttons to different functions in various programs. The idea is to program an application’s keyboard shortcuts onto the ShuttlePRO’s buttons. For example, the standard keyboard shortcut allowing you to save a file is [Ctrl]+[S]. This function can be attributed to a button on the ShuttlePRO; once this is done, you will no longer have to click on File/Save to save a file, but rather simply press the corresponding button.

5. PERSONALIZING A PRESET ShuttlePRO comes with a variety of presets for different video editing applications, including Ulead MediaStudio Pro. These presets will allow you to access each program’s essential functions via the ShuttlePRO. Nevertheless, some presets may suit you better than others. For example, the function programmed onto a given button may not seem particularly useful to you, while a function that you find indispensable might not have been integrated into the preset.

Do Nothing: this option disables the button. Same as Lower Value: this option can only be used for positions on the Shuttle’s jog wheel. It allows you to apply the same action to a position as that defined for the previous position. Example: you have emulated the Fast-forward action on the Shuttle in Right 1 position. By selecting the Same as Lower Value option, the Shuttle in Right 2 position will automatically emulate the Fast-forward action.

6. EXAMPLE OF HOW TO PERSONALIZE A PRESET What follows is a step-by-step example of how to personalize a preset. The Audio Editor module’s preset allows you to define the start and end of a selection, but does not enable you to listen to it again using the ShuttlePRO. Therefore, we will modify the existing preset and replace access to the Preferences window (which is most useful when getting to know the software) with the Read selection function. - Click on the icon.
