I don't have access to the v2 one at the moment but I did test the ShuttleXpress and it did work on Davinci Resolve 16, with a few notes.įirst, as you stated that you are using Resolve for the first time, I do remember it taking a bit of work to get the shuttle to work, setting the keybind options in the driver, when I was setting it up with Resolve 15.Īlso, I did have a moment of panic because the shuttle did not work at first after the update to DR 16.

You can also load and save complete setups of parameters.I saw your post and got a bit worried, as I have a ShuttleXpress on one workstation and a Shuttle Pro V2 on the other. This makes playing and stopping a few seconds later into a one button press operation. if you press PLAY and hold the button down for more than a second, it will then later automatically STOP when you release the play button. It basically adds a new behaviour to the PLAY button.

'Stop on release if play button held (Play Hold mode)' is useful for people spotting with VirtualVTR and a shuttle or MCS3. This tends to be smoother on the MCS3 with its much higher resolution wheel, although the shuttle Pro generally performs very well too. The speed of wheel rotation determines the jog speed. This changes when you engage the 'Jog wheel scrubs with audio' pref, which stops frame bumping (with no sound) and starts 'jogging' the picture with sound. On the Shuttle, the wheel moves in precise detents (much coarser than the MCS3) and in this case, each detent represents one frame. Jog Sensitivity determines how many degress of rotation on the MCS3 are used per video frame.

Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Goto Start, Goto End, Record, Reverse Play, Below, there is a brief summary of the assignable commands. Many of these functions are not available in any other way in VirtualVTR, so a Shuttle or MCS3 really unlocks some hidden power inside VirtualVTR. For each button on the devices you have a wide array of functions which can be assigned to that button. This is all user assignable from the dialogs accessed in the Prefs window, as shown above. Once VirtualVTR gets this timely information about the status of the controls on the Shuttle, or MCS3, it needs to know what to do with it. These allow VirtualVTR to receive raw messages from the MCS3.

For the MCS3, we interface with the JLCooper driver, which you should install, although you must setup the MCS3 software to use 'Midi mode' in OSX and 'developer Mode' in OS9.

In the case of the Shuttle Family, you should NOT install the contour device driver for the shuttle, since it will interfere with VirtualVTR's direct connection to the shuttle. Instead VirtualVTR talks directly to the wheel. To get such great performance, VirtualVTR bypasses the traditional methods these devices use, typically emulating keystrokes in host applications. The USB controllers offer a remarkably slick interface to control VirtualVTR, and the jog and shuttle performance is as good, or better than any other Video playback device at any price point. The 2 main ones are the JLCooper MCS3 (USB) controller, and the Contour Shuttle Family (Shuttle Pro, Shuttle Pro 2 and Shuttle Express). It supports 9-pin control, MMC (Midi Machine control), mouse and keyboard control (including Avid-Style shuttle mode numeric keypad transport), Apple event control, and also several USB connected jog/shuttle devices. VirtualVTR is extremely controllable from the outside world. General Information about Remote controllers It does not offer overall guidance on particular setups. This page is a comprehensive description of what each specific preference in VirtualVTR and VirtualVTR Pro will do.
