Loupedeck CT review: a mighty editing tool for filmmakers

by Add Comment

If you got here to decide if you want to buy the Loupedeck‎‎ CT, let me share a TL;DR before I go into the in-depth review: It’s the piece of gear you needed and didn’t even know you wanted.

If you’ve never heard about Loupedeck‎‎, they are a company that makes keyboards with knobs and buttons that are dedicated to editing. Their gear works with both photography (e.g. Photoshop, Luminar) and video software (e.g. Premiere, Resolve). For me, I was out to test if the Loupedeck‎‎ CT can help my video editing workflow.

by Add Comment

Loupedeck has released a new Version 5.0 update for its Loupedeck CT and Loupedeck Live consoles that brings with it a new user interface, native integration for vMix, a plug-in for Ecamm and upgraded macOS integration for Capture One. There’s also a new cut down “Simplified Profile” designed specifically for live streamers who don’t always need the advanced functionality the devices offer.

The newly redesigned software interface provides more intuitive control over how you customise your Loupedeck Live or CT device with easier navigation of workspaces and pages. New notifications let you know about app connection status and you get easier account linking for plugins that require authentication.

by 3 Comments

The Loupedeck CT is Loupedeck’s most recent control deck, launched in October last year. It features native support for much of the Adobe CC suite of applications, along with Final Cut Pro X, Ableton Live and as of today, Streamlabs. Also new today, Loupedeck has announced a major new feature for the Loupedeck CT – the Loupedeck Profile Creator.

The Loupedeck Profile Creator allows Loupedeck CT users to create their own custom profiles for any application they like, even if it doesn’t have native integration. It’s being launched with example profiles for applications including DaVinci Resolve, Avid Pro Tools, Cubase, and even non-creative tools like Microsoft Excel.

The Loupedeck Creative Tool is a tiny control deck for creatives with massive potential

by 7 Comments

Since Loupedeck hit the scene a couple of years ago, they’ve become very popular tools for photographers and more recently for video editors, too. The original Loupedeck was only compatible with Lightroom. The Loupedeck+ expanded that compatibility to Capture One, Aurora HDR, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro and Adobe Audition.

Now, Loupedeck has announced the new Loupedeck Creative Tool (CT), a much smaller unit with a wide array of software compatibility and a powerful adaptable user interface and touchscreen display that’s customisable and switches to your needs.
