Elgato's Stream Deck is awesomely awesome https://youtu.be/RtlU32K7hDU
The Stream Deck is one of those things that isn't necessarily essential to own, but is awesome when you get one and see how much it can do.
I have customised mine to make my life easier when video editing in Vegas Pro 17. I have a folder setup to give me single-button access to various commands that would otherwise need keyboard shortcuts or menus in the software. This includes some simple commands and some not so simple:
Open Vegas Pro
Add volume envelope
Activate multi-screen camera view
Add a marker
Undo
Cut
Paste
Save
Split
Trim start of clip
Trim end of clip
Delete clip
and more
You can add all sorts of commands including multi-action commands.
So, for example, you could set a single button to:
Open Vegas Pro
Open audacity
Open the folder you keep video files, audio and more in
Create a new project
etc
Using Stream Deck this way I've found I'm able to stream line my editing.
I also have other streamlined commands for things like Twitch, Vegas Pro and more.
