Help with VegasPro and Asus Dial

roger_waldrip wrote on 2/21/2024, 10:27 PM

I purchased a laptop from Asus that has a built in physical dial. When researching a new laptop I settled on the ASUS because of the dial. Besides working with popular software, it boasted being able to make custom functions. Turns out, by popular software, they meant only ADOBE products. And by custom functions they meant figure it out for yourself as all examples showed or demonstrated only s rehash of the functions that already existed for ADOBE products with the dial.

Anyhow, I'm wondering if anyone would know of a command that I could use for a custom function where when I rotate the dial to the left, it would be the equivalent of holding the left mouse button down and moving the mouse to the left. Same for opposite direction. Holding the left mouse button down and moving the mouse to the right when the dial is rotated to the right.

I'm wanting to use this with VegasPro 21. A plus would be to set the focus to the video window. I'm hoping that I can make use of the dial within the tracks panel and as a video scrubber.
