"Return To Sender!" You got a Contour Shuttle Pro? Mighty MACRO . . .

How often have you needed to either mouse click to get yourself back on TL or Ctrl+0 or . . . . and have lost your creative train of thought, urgency, flow, next edit etc etc . . . Well I have, countless times and it kinda stinks.

You gotta a Contour Shuttle Pro, with a Macro facility? Then from within an FX or Pan/Crop or Vegas Explorer or Trimmer or ANY Vegas Window Pane I can now get myself directly back on the T/L with the Cursor running - and just with a SINGLE CSP Button. I should have done this years and years ago.

I've set to the 2nd button on the first row, but of course you could hang it on ANY button you choose on the CSP buttons and here's the two line MACRO - simples!:

It's the simple things in life that can make such a difference

Update . . . Just reset to the BIG Button which I use as the PLAY/STOP Button.

The contour shuttle pro is a great kit, but you do not need per se a contour for macro's: any decent gaming keyboard has special keys you can assign macro's to (including timings). Eg. Logitech G910.

Also any decent gaming mouse have tons of extra buttons you can assign macro keystrokes to.

Macros are our friends! The Contour Shuttle Pro combines Friends and Shuttling!

Thanx Grazie. I was wondering what I would do with the one button I had left on my Shuttle. Now, if I can only figure out what to do with all the extra time I will now have......
