LoupedeckCreative Tool - The Custom Editing Console for Photo, Video, Music and Design

As an editor (Premiere Pro) you’re always looking to optimise your workflow. Having used the Loupedeck CT for the last 3 months on a very intensive project, I couldn’t be happier with this control surface. The ability to configure the unit with multiple configurations, means you can group your most used options depending on what stage of the edit you’re at, assembly through to picture lock to colour grade. i’ve also found being able to define the dials incredibly useful, from zooming the size of the timeline, to adjusting the volume, to nudging a clip a frame at a time, all feel a lot more accurate than using the GUI. As somebody who uses a tablet rather than a mouse, it feels a lot more comfortable than using the keyboard. The unit isn’t cheap, but the time it has saved me has definitely offset the cost. I have no hesitation whatsoever recommending the Loupedeck CT for video editing.

Much better quality than the old Loupedeck Classic. Excellent functionality

This is great pice of hardware , but the software isn’t the best. This could be so good yet it needs loads of work for example I didn’t get it to work with photoshop at all maybe like 1 button reacted 1 time and that was it. Tried all photoshop versions old and newer and just wouldn’t work. It worksPerfect in google chrom or firefox as well as resolve and in desktop. They could improve for example when you streaming icon should change to on air so you know when you streaming . There so much potential in this device that work for me for example i can be in game and use deck on second screen to scroll pages in firefox. Hope they improve and add more profiles for exampleMsfs2020 there custom profiles but I didn’t get them to work . So it really needs improvements before it will be worth that price point .

This control surface really does have the potential to revolutionise your workflow.I work in the post-production business and rely on various, very complex programs to get things done. Loupedeck allows me the possibility to assign single, or multiple key commands to a single button or rotary knob. It doesn't sound like much on the surface (pun not intended), but I can tell you that this small investment has made me over 30% more productive overnight!They're right to pitch the product at creatives as the controls lend themselves to creative tasks; you can use the big scroll wheel to navigate a time-line in a video editing program. Or you can use the rotary knobs to zoom in or out of the same time-line. Multiple step actions can be done by the click of a single button - and no having to remember multitudes of key commands.I downloaded the design software before I purchased the control surface, and this allowed me to see the possibilities that were in-store if I were to buy the Loupedeck. Suffice to say, I purchased it as soon as I'd designed my first custom profile. If you have a need for this type of control surface, I believe you will too.

Total crap. Sluggish, badly laid out, poor quality lcd screen, terrible inbuilt layouts, can’t rest your fingers on buttons.I never leave reviews but thought this so poor for something so expensive that it had to be called out.Was using it for editing and after some considerable time setting it all up realised it was actually just a waste of money - a poor product in virtually every respect. You have to look down constantly, everything has a second delay from hitting any button or turning virtually any knob.Maybe it might improve with software updates, but it’s a year old already and if this is the stage they’re at then no.I bought a stream deck xl to compare against and found it 10x more useful as you could rest your fingers on shortcuts you use a lot. It doesn’t have knobs but not the end of the world.It’s a shame because it’s almost quite good. If the wheel, which isn’t very good as it’s so sluggish was placed above the keys it might have been better.I would have kept it despite it being sluggish and poorly laid out, and the designers clearly cutting costs by not having actual keys like streamdeck has, but for £470? no way.I can honestly say hand on heart stay away from this product and spend your money on a lens, a computer, a streamdeck xl (or two of them for that matter), but not this. If it was £250 I’d keep it, but £470 they’re ripping everyone off.

If you edit a lot in Adobe Lightroom Classic or Premiere Pro CC then this will speed up your editing by up to 30%. Quality build and performance. Breezes through fast selection and photo grading as well as having those analogue disks for acute adjustments saving mouse clicks and moves and removing RSI.I love that it’s programmable to suit your needs and editing style.
