Set Clip Range
-
Not sure about the shoulder, but it’s easier on the wrist for sure. I found when I first switched, that I needed to change my sitting posture as well.
See if you can get your hands on a demo unit before shelling out the money. I know some people who tried it and didn’t like it all, even after using it for a week.

I switched to Wacom out of necessity about 5 years ago. I think it honestly saved my editing career as my wrist was turning into a pile of grindy bits.
It also comes in handy with roto/masking tools.
Your milage may vary, but I don’t go very far without mine.

Thanks
I cannot seem to fathom the difference between C select clip and X select range …they both seem to do the same thing over here.
A bit puzzled
cheers

It took me about two weeks to really get used to a tablet, but like Jeremy, I’m convinced it saved my wrist. No more pain!

C selects the whole clip.
X marks a range with the range tool.
It’s a subtle difference but creates different trimming and selection scenarios.

I have an Intuos 4 Medium. I find it’s a good size for Final Cut and for AE/Smoke.
The Bamboo ( I think that’s what the lower spec Wacom is called) feels very different, and not as nice IMO.

I, too, have a Intuous4.
I am very interested in the 5 as it has touch capabilities that might go well with the MacOS, but I haven’t had a chance to try one out.

On the subject of Wacom: I also used a Wacom for years but switched to the Apple Trackpad. Give it a try. It’s brilliant and has the advantage that you can use multi-finger gestures for scrolling, click and hold, app switching etc. Much more versatile and faster. And because you can set it up to tap-for-click you do not strain your fingers. In my opinion it works much better than the trackpads on the laptops.

The Intuos 5 has trackpad/touch capability, but I haven’t checked it out yet. I think that would be the best of both worlds if the Waco trackpad worked fairly seamlessly with the MacOS.
Also, I think I would like the trackpad, but it seems like it might hurt my wrist.
Thanks, Carsten.
How the hell does one pronounce Intuos?
