1. INTRODUCTION

The ShuttlePRO controller uses presets to link its buttons to different functions in various
programs. The idea is to program an application’s keyboard shortcuts onto the ShuttlePRO’s
buttons.

For example, the standard keyboard shortcut allowing you to save a file is [Ctrl]+[S]. This function
can be attributed to a button on the ShuttlePRO; once this is done, you will no longer have to click
on File/Save to save a file, but rather simply press the corresponding button. This is referred to
as emulating one of the application’s functions.

This manual is a reference guide for the ShuttlePRO, explaining in detail the functions of all
buttons in each of the MediaStudio Pro software suite's three presets: Video Capture, Audio
Editor and Video Editor.

The presets are meant to be generic and are therefore adapted to the needs of the majority of
users. Nevertheless, you may wish to implement other functions that you find yourself using
frequently. This process is explained in detail in the Personalizing a preset
illustrated in the Example of how to personalize a preset
