  • The coolest input device ever!

    I have long been an advocate of using graphics tables as an input device for video editing. For me, it’s always been faster than using a mouse.

    I just got myself a Wacom Cintiq, and WOW, it’s a whole ‘nother step up!

    The Cintiq is an LCD monitor combined with a tablet, so essentially you are editing using a touch screen, except instead of your finger, you use a stylus with programmable switches.
    You can use it on its stand or in your lap.

    Also, there are programmable buttons and touch strips along the sides. I have one touch strip for timeline zooming, and the other for frame-by-frame scrubbing.

    Not cheap at $2500 (21″ model), but definitely worth considering.

    Well, now I know how you spend the money I use on Vegas and DVDA training videos. Looks very cool. And your videos (well, I’ve only gone through the DVDA ones so far) are excellent.
