  Anyone use a Griffin Shuttle?

  Posted by Joseph Wilkins on April 28, 2009 at 4:42 pm

  I was just given a big silver USB griffin powermate I think it’s called.

  I plugged it in and it works when I am in apps to move my cursor left and right, but I want it to control my timeline in FCP..

  I cannot get this to work… any suggestions? I have looked at griffin;s site but cannot find the answer

  thanks!

  I use the Contour, so I am not sure about the Griffin, but if it is the same principal you should be able to set up the shuttle to preform the actions you need. you may need their latest software
  hope this helps

  I have a powermate as well. I do use it occassionally in FCP. Mostly I use a Nostromo N52 speedpad, which also has a scroll-wheel. I have set that scroll-wheel to zoom in and out (‘cmd +’ and ‘cmd -‘). As a result, I can’t use it to scroll in the browser, etc. So for that I use the powermate.

  You have to install the PowerMate preference pane, which you can download from their support page.

  Once that’s done, you can assign keystrokes to the powermate’s actions: wheel-left, wheel-right, click; also wheel-left-while-pushed-down, wheel-right-while-pushed-down, and long click.

  You could for example assign the arrow keys to the left and right wheel, giving you a jog-wheel function.
