    Anybody program one of these Griffin Powermate’s as a jog wheel for FCP? If so, what programming commands did you give it to replicate a jog/shuttle like on a FCP keyboard for example? I have snow leopard and FCP7 if that makes a difference.

    Hi Craig… I’ve been searching the internet and so far I haven’t found anything about it.

    I own one of those powermate but I didn’t manage to program it properly.

    Thanks Roger. I have not found anything to make the Griffin replicate the jog/shuttle on the editing keyboard that I have. I really like my Mac keyboard over the clunky one on the editing keyboard not to mention the space savings. The Griffin wheel feels excellent and takes up no space. Too bad I couldn’t make it work. If I find anything out, I’ll pass the info on to you.

    hi Craig, I think I can help you
    my Griffin was staying there unused and now it does best work with FCP7
    – you should download the driver from Griffin https://www.griffintechnology.com/support/powermate/
    the 2.1 version, works best, even on Snow
    – after installation you shoul see the Powermate icon on your taskbar
    – on the left of the setting window you choose your application: FCP
    – on the right you set the action for the movements, for example turn right: scroll right. You can even set the speed of scrolling. That is what someone needs. Toghether with a Kensington expert mouse, for color correction, and a full programmable Ergodex keyboard, editing becomes an ergonomic pleasure.Tom
