Joystick

[Steve Rhoden]

The current models i think should still work and be
recognized by Vegas.

Thanks Steve for your reply!

Does that mean I should get used joystick like the Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback 2 or the old Logitech Wingman (via Ebay for example)? There are mentioned in the Vegas help file. But there don’t seem to be drivers for Windows 7?

Or shouldn’t I care about the help file and buy another joystick – but a new and current model with Windows 7 drivers?

Regards,
Daniel

Not trying to be facetious, but does anyone experienced actually find the use of a joystick productive to their editing?

This is an interesting question.

I must color correct about 10000 clips in the next months. And I have to rely on Vegas 11, because of its good 3D editing features.

If you must only correct a handful of clips, than it is ok to use the mouse in the color wheels. But because the color wheels are not very big and accurate it needs some time.

I am used to a hardware color correction trackball on a linear editing suite. There you can correct very fast and accurate the color.

And I was very glad to see Vegas supporting some hardware for color correction.

Or is there any other good hardware for color correction in Vegas?

I would love recommendations on a trackball system that others find useful for color correction. I have thought about using a joystick for editing, but it never made sense. If someone uses a system that makes sense or is helpful please let us know.
