Midi controller to edit in Lightroom
Sep 12, 2020 12:03:53 #
Now, I do not claim to be a videographer by any means....
I recently picked up an X Touch Mini midi controller from Behringer. Using it and the free MIDI2LR software, a midi controller is able to be used to control Lightroom functions.
The X Touch contains 8 endocer dials, 16 selection buttons, 1 fader control and two layer buttons.
Using a combination of selection buttons the 8 encoders can be set for multiple slider controls. Meaning nearly every function of editing within Lightroom can be done without the keyboard or mouse. Since the dials are encoders, they display the relative settings for each controlled item in a ring of lights around the dial - so moving from image to imaqe, the encoder settings reflect the changes in the develop settings of each image.
Once you get used to the controls it can reduce editing time, and possibly make editing easier as well.
Even cropping can be done using the X Touch.
The larger Behringers with 8 motorized faders may be neater....but for 79.00, an X Touch Mini seems to do the job.

Clicking on the iimage should show a video posted on my Flicker feed.
