I'm so much focused on mouse and haircross that I don't get good results.

I'd love to have a basic controller for 3-way color tool , histogram and all these things.

Or would the approach of a midi controller be better for color grading?

It is interesting especially what you said about the use of regular mouse. I thought (while remaining in the software not doing other tasks) wheels were supposed to replace mouse. Do you think other software just use more shortcuts than Cinelerra or people who use programs like avid they also use mouse?

For this you use the inner and outer center wheels. These WHEELS ARE THE BIG PLUS and work the same on each model.

Now for the BIG NEGATIVE. Despite the fact that each has 3 buttons that work exactly the same as your regular mouse, the problem is that you have NO WAY TO MOVE THE CURSOR like you do with a mouse to change windows, drag effects, or move the insertion pointer. So you still need to use the mouse for that.  I guess that the solution may be to leave the mouse on the right hand side and put the Shuttle to use with your left hand.

Also, in deciding between the Pro and the Xpress, I found it difficult to use all of the buttons on the Pro and thought that the Xpress had the buttons I would use.  However, I am pretty sure you could train your fingers if you used it a lot to use more buttons.  Information from real users would be a lot more relevant.

That's great news.

In fact, I don't even know if Linux sees it.

I only bought it for Cinelerra and since I can't get it to work... it collects dust.

It would be great for him and for the whole community if others want to use it.  FLOSS video editor + affordable tools is a great combo for all independent/low-budget editors!

Have you been able to try such controller with another software? Afaik they should be compatible with many softwares.

You are right Sam, I discovered such controllers because of Lightworks, in fact I think most (all?) the code available to make them run on linux comes from users of Lightworks...

There is nothing about Linux in the description, although Lightworks is also available for Linux.
