About the Edit Controllers range

Choose the control layout around your editing tasks. A jog or shuttle wheel helps you move through footage and position the playhead accurately, while programmable keys can trigger shortcuts, macros or application actions. Dials and trackballs are useful for adjusting parameters and colour. Check the number of controls, connection type, desk footprint and whether the unit needs a separate keyboard. A compact controller suits a mobile or crowded setup. Larger panels provide more direct access but need more desk space.

Compatibility is not universal, so check the controller's software support, operating system and connection requirements before buying. A Stream Deck-style unit is generally suited to custom shortcuts and profiles, while a shuttle controller focuses on timeline transport. The Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve Micro Colour Panel is designed for colour grading in Resolve, rather than general shortcut control. Do not confuse a compact controller with a full editing keyboard, and check dimensions if your desk or keyboard tray is limited.

Edit Controllers questions

Will an edit controller work with Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve?

Compatibility depends on the model and its software profiles. Programmable controllers can often be assigned to application shortcuts, while dedicated panels may be designed for a particular program. Check the product page and manufacturer requirements for your operating system and editing software before ordering.

What is the difference between a jog wheel and a shuttle wheel?

A jog wheel lets you move through footage in small, controlled increments, which helps with frame-accurate editing. A shuttle control is used for faster forward or reverse movement, often at variable speeds. Controllers such as the Contour Design ShuttlePRO v2 and ShuttleXpress focus on these timeline controls.

Do edit controllers replace my keyboard and mouse?

Usually, no. They add physical controls for frequently used actions, but most editing software still requires a keyboard, mouse or trackpad for typing, selecting and general interface work. Stream Deck models are useful as shortcut companions, while jog controllers add dedicated timeline navigation.
