Contour Shuttle Pro? Who has it working in MAGIX VP14?

Grazie wrote on 11/10/2016, 3:57 AM

Well, I've followed my own instructions and I can't get the CSP2 to operate as it does in SonyVegas13.

So, CSP Fans, please confirm YOU have it working in MAGIX VP14 before I get MAGIX involved.

Thank you

Grazie

Nick, what adaption to my steps did you use? Because presently my CSP is unresponsive.

Try this:

  1. Open "Contour Shuttle Device Configuration".
  2. Click OPEN the "Application Setting" drop down menu.
  3. Locate "VEGAS140.EXE" if it exists (or any reference to VEGAS 14)
  4. Click OPTIONS and "Remove Settings" - This will ensure that any previous reference to VP14 is deleted/removed.
  5. Click APPLY - VERY important!
  6. Click the drop down arrow in "Application Setting" drop down menu.
  7. Locate and select the "Sony - Vegas Pro 13" settings
  8. THEN click "Options" >> "Create New Settings" >> "Copy Contents from Current Settings" and navigate to C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 14.0\vegas140.exe - SELECT it and the VEGAS14.EXE will appear in the "Application setting" window.
  9. Click APPLY. VERY important!

Yes, I understand, you've done nothing more than edit my instructions using the text for this for VP14 - I understand. And guess what? - No! - I can not get CSP to function.

Working in VP12, VP13, WORD, FireFox . . .etc etc.

I've tried countless times now. I'm going to download the latest CSP2 Drivers.

O...K... 😣

I've sorted this out.

Before I had setup CSP for MAGIX14 I had taken my CSP2 to an OFFSITE Event - meaning I had UNPLUGED the CSP2 from the PC.

Having now uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, which didn't make it work, I further read that I needed to unplug the CSP2, install drivers and THEN plug in the CSP2.

Lesson learnt here.

I didn't have to do that with my machine, the CSP worked great with V11, V12, and V14. Windows 10 Pro.

You didn't have to do what?

Unplug, install drivers then plug it back in. Didn't have to do that.

Sure, understood.

On top of a probable soured driver set, the issue I'd introduced was that I hadn't configured CSP prior to removing the CSP USB Device. Meaning that the CSP hadn't had the initial USB setup after VP14 install. Now, having read that installing cleanly the CSP drivers, this HAS to be done prior to replugging back in the CSP USB. This I have now proved as the CSP USB now works. Maybe I should add this to my CSP configure/install process!

You asked me what adaption to your steps I used, and I told you exactly what worked for me, using your method as a template to make it as simple as possible for you to understand. And I didn't just change the number 13 to 14. Anyway, glad you've got it working.

Nick, knowing you had followed my same steps confirmed, with the text changes, made me think further and deeper into the issue, thank you.

This issue of unplugging the CSP USB prior to setting up the newly installed VP14 and the possible need for a freshing-up the drivers got it working again.

And now . . they've gone, again! CSP is AWOL in MAGIX VP. Working in VP13.

I hate this stuff.

Grazie wrote on 11/11/2016, 1:28 AM

OK, reboot of PC makes CSP fail in MAGIX VP14. The settings/drivers aren't sticking.

Thanks for all your feedback, but this can't be VP nor CSP.

 

Grazie wrote on 11/11/2016, 1:57 AM

OK . . . . I had VP14 running in Administrator Mode. Why? You tell me . . . . SO, switched it off and now even after reboot CSP Drivers and Settings work again and solid.

Apologies for my meanderings, but I got there.

TAXI!

Thank you Grazie, Nick. That was driving me nuts. Finally working.

Hi Barry - Which part was driving you nuts? Was it that you were running VP in Admin Mode?

Barry W. Hull wrote on 11/13/2016, 11:43 AM

No, I just hadn't followed the steps correctly and my ShuttlePro wasn't working. Brought editing to a crawl until it started working again.

Got it.

Grazie, I have a hard time to digest all the rounds on this thread. My CSP doesn't work since VP14 and I haven't actually tried to fix it yet. Don't have the time to experiment. Since you obviously figured it out, would you mind writing a step by step procedure for how to do it? That would be very appreciated.

Grazie wrote on 11/14/2016, 2:41 AM

Hi Martin.

What was the last version of VP you had had it working? Mine was VP13.

Grazie

Same here. Vegas 13.

Grazie wrote on 11/14/2016, 3:53 AM

Good. Then do follow Nick's instructions above.
