Shuttle pro is a great tool with a very UNintuitive setup.
You need to set the target application by pointing it to the Vegas exe file.

I'll be showing some cool tricks with it on the VASST tour.

Have you ever used Shuttle Pro before?

I had lot's of problems with mine using it with V4 until I discovered that I needed to download the updated driver. That, along with following the directions "carefully", solved everything.

When I switched to V5, I just opened up the shuttle pro control panel, selected Sony Vegas 5 from the list (I may have had to go into V5 to find the correct file) changed the keys to my normal set up and saved it. It actually was easier than the V4 setup.

I just bought it today and I didn't notice a V5 setting.

Hey Gary where in the "options" do I select the Target App....Is it "change target"???

Are you using Shuttle Pro v2?

First, load the Vegas preferences that are included in Vegas 5 (should have mentioned that)

Go to Options>change target application.

One real trap that had me fooled for a long time.
The latest drivers are now to be found on a different site to the one listed on the older shuttles. The older drivers will not load the V5 preference file.
Make certain you have the drivers from:
www.contourdesign.com
Click on the Shuttle icon in the system tray and select Open Control Panel
Under About should have:

Control Panel v 2.0.0.162


Under Options>Import Settings
Navigate to Program Files\Sony\Vegas 5.0and select Sony Vegas 5 - XXXXXXX.pref
where XXXXXX is the appropriate Shuttle device.


Hope this helps

Thanks guys, I got the V5 pref. loaded, But It still won't control. I can open the ShuttlePro window and see it's working.

So let me get this straight:
I select the target app
I then Change target app to the exe file.
I apply
I should be good to go???Right????

Sorry but the manual and online directions are odd. BTW I do have ShuttlePro V2.


Thanks again
