About this deal

One great idea I’ve borrowed from the Mixing Light colorists (see below) is to take a screenshot of the part of the user interface that’s being used to create the button icon, for some strong visual cues. This really helps you to marry up what you’re pressing with the end result within the app. This collection of icons made specifically for Cinema 4D gets you up and running right away with over 1780 Labelled icons and 1760 Unlabelled icons featuring almost every command, tool and function within the application. The Text Title button is also a bit experimental at the minute. The purpose of it is to speed up my logging process. Other than that it’s pretty much the same, but if 15 buttons meant you were creating a lot of layer sets, then this could be the answer.

The top left key is always ‘Next Profile’ in my custom key set ups and I’ve left a little Easter Egg in each of the film profiles too.It is as simple as they come, with functionality being the primary focus. That said, it does come in a variety of snazzy colors to boost the form. When I’m making selects from an interview I usuallyadd text titles above each portion of a clip with some key words about the content underneath, and add those key words in the name of the Text title and in the text title itself, as on-screen text. Essentially all you need to do is set up one key as the ‘Next Profile’ button to cycle through your layer sets, I’ve set mine to always be in the top left corner. Over time they’ve (hopefully!) memorised numerous keyboard shortcuts that speed up their work in different software applications and different parts of the same software. This combination of a huge range of keys (and modifiers) and the person’s memory is tough to beat for speed and efficiency. The middle key also has a little bump on it so you can navigate your way around the interface by touch if you need to. The only niggle with this is that the notch refracts the image underneath a little bit, depending on your viewing angle.

Very practical "shortcuts panel" that can be configured in really amazing ways. It would be really missed if not available in my setup. Works very well, but must be connected directly to the computer. These are all excellent in certain circumstances and with specific workflows, which, by the way, are as varied as the editors who create them. Bethesda is one of the rare cases of a game developer finding so much success that it branched out to become one of the biggest publishers in the Western gaming market. While not quite as gigantic as the likes of Activision or EA, Bethesda has a great stable of developers, itself included, that have made some of the most ambitious games on the market. Whether it's the cutting-edge technology coming out of ID Software, the high-octane FPS action of Machine Games, or even the more experimental titles from Arkane, Bethesda's name is attached to far more than just its high-profile RPG series.

Using Bitfocus Companion, my Elgato can do quite complex things with OBS, Atem Mini (via Software Control) and Reaper. So when working with the multitude of sliders in the Lumetri Control panel it’s really fast and efficient way of working and earns that small but precious desk space because it makes colour grading faster and more enjoyable. The manual says that you shouldn’t connect it via a USB hub, but it worked just fine for me through my USB-C hub for my MacBook Pro. To use these profiles on your own machine you may well need to update some of the keyboard shortcuts per app, that the key’s fire to whatever you’ve set them to in your own app. For example in my Premiere profile I’ve set ‘Close Gap’ to CTRL+CMD+G.

The LCD display keys mean that each button tells you what it does and can update with both a change of context and button state (their are toggle switches that tell you if something is on or off). It’s also very easy and intuitive to set up and customise.Elgato updates the software with new features on a regular basis. Version 3.0 (the latest at the time of writing in 3.3), saw a re-vamp to the UI and some really useful improvements to customising the keys, and fun stuff like Gif support. Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. See how we test. All that’s said, it’s basically incredibly easy to set up and comes in a nice, compact form factor. Also once my hands are on the keyboard, I don’t really want to move them to another device unless doing so saves me time in total. With all the shortcuts I’ve memorised I’m very fast at editing, so moving to press a different button, turn a dial or adjust a slider needs to be a net positive! There are folders for navigating and selecting curves (plus master reset), folder for keying, folder for windows (including inverting each window and a master reset), a folder for adding and navigating keyframes, a key to toggle scopes, C/A mode, handles, loop toggle, grab still, previous still, next still, and a folder for splits screens/wipes.

Just to say you can copy and paste your custom keys inside the Elgato app if you want to save time replicating keys. I’ve reviewed quite a few controllers, interfaces and devices in my time running this blog. Personal favourites include the Logitech G-13, the Tangent Element Kb, the Razer Naga Chroma and the Palette Gear Expert. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. The interface is large, friendly, and will start your stream right away. You will have access to all the necessary functions like go live, switch scenes, switch audio sources, in addition to a few others. However, if you want more innovative and complex capabilities then the Streamlabs Remote Control will fall short of your expectations. You can also choose to utilize a T-nut and bolt the mount into a channel, like those found on extruded aluminum frames, for a more modular approach, though you’d have to source your own T-Nuts to do so.This short video will demonstrate how to add alpha layers to your images in photoshop, and in this case create your own custom animated RGB gifs. It also comes with a larger magnetic, non-slip stand, which improves on the plastic and somewhat slippy stands on the previous models.
