USB-Powered, Configurable, Control Surface for Video Editing
I've been doing a little bit of light video editing, and occasionally would look online to see if anyone had a control surface for sale. Unfortunately, they're all either too expensive or too poorly supported for me to make me feel like it would be a worthwhile investment.
Instead, I decided to dig through my electronics parts bin, and see if I had what I'd need to make a passable controller. This is the documentation for what I eventually ended up with, which I have to say I'm really very happy with.
As time goes on, I'll try to add more information here so that this is customizable for other purposes, but "out of the box", this is primarily targeted to working with Adobe Premiere.
FUTURE FEATURES:
- Out of the box integration with different default mappings - I think this is possible.
- Ability to switch mapping for different apps
- Function to adjust brightness of trellis buttons
- I realize that there are no labels on the buttons. I feel like this is a "i know what they do" scenario, but maybe I might make some overlays that have tiny labels on them for some of the different functions?
