We designed Palette for the complexity of creative work. In Premiere Pro, Palette was designed primarily for use with Lumetri color, transport controls, keyframe motion & effects, and audio mixing. Here are 8 ways to use Palette Gear for a more efficient and less strenuous workflow in Premiere Pro.

Video editing is a creative process. No doubt about it. But using the software itself is also a technical skill. A few months ago I started using Palette Gear for my daily editing tasks in Premiere Pro. I’ve found that even though sliders and dials are very useful in some cases, my favorite feature is using macro mode with Palette's arcade-style buttons. It saves me a tremendous amount of time whenever I face some repetitive tasks. Read on to see how.

With this neat trick, you won’t necessarily need a Palette dial for each Lightroom adjustment you’d like to control. Here is how to control any function in Lightroom using just one Palette dial and still have speed and precision.

It’s not just for Adobe. It's true, we’ve developed the most extensive Palette support for Adobe Lightroom Classic, Photoshop CC, and Premiere Pro. But did you know that you can get Palette’s tactile, precision control for other software too? Here is how to control any software using Palette Gear and what software the modular controls are compatible with.

A good Palette profile tackles a specific workflow with ease and fluidity. Adding efficiency to editing workflows using Palette Gear would make a great profile addition to our community. Here's how you can upload your own Palette profile to share with other Palette Gear users.

When you're editing thousands of photos in one session, even the tiniest efficiencies can mean a lot. Palette Gear was designed for the complexity of creative work. That is why we've reimagined the computing experience to be more personalized and workflow-centric. We’ve consulted with thousands of photographers — pros and hobbyists alike — and learned from what they needed most.

At Palette, we’re particularly proud of how our product keeps evolving and improving through free, unrestricted software updates. Whether you backed us on Kickstarter or just purchased last week, the result is the same — every module becomes more capable over time, through consistent feature additions and improvements. 

Ever wanted to edit or sort through photos in Lightroom with lightning speed or edit with greater precision? The multi-function, infinite turn dials from Palette Gear allow you to do just that.

Here’s something we get asked about often: how do you assign a Photoshop action to Palette? It makes perfect sense, really — both tools are made to save time and reduce inefficiencies when editing. Combining both? Even better. It’s easy to miss, however, as the setup involves a few additional steps. Here's exactly how to assign Photoshop actions to Palette Gear.
