Hi everyone, I'm trying to use Arturia Beatstep with Win10 operating system to control the grading page of DaVinci resolve 16.
My problem is to control with an Arturia pot the contrast placed at the bottom on the left side of DaVinci.
I managed with the outgoing / mause to go to the small window which is highlighted on the edges in orange when I turn the pot, but the numbers of contrast don't change.
Can you give me some indication?
Thanks
Hi, if you manually place your mouse at the same point. Does the number in the box move up and down when pressing arrow keys or does the box insist you want to input text numbers?
Hi Steve, if I try to move the arrows, the davinci program
apply move commands on the timeline;
but if with the mouse guided by my hand I make small horizontal or vertical movements in the small window then the contrast values vary.

OK then you should be able to send small mouse movements with your knob.
Here is an example of someone doing similar with Premier Pro. It should work the same except you will need to define your own screen locations. The concepts are certainly the same. We are using knobs and or buttons for mouse down/up and movements (both initial location and drag).

Hi Steve, I move the knob, the number moves but only by two points and infinitely rotating the knob. Attached is my project I hope it can make me understand where I'm wrong. thanks

Can you show me a log of what your knob sends when turning it each way?
Hi Steve, that's the Log

OK, are you trying to control the numeric values in the RGB Boxes or are you trying to move then wheel above them? Our strategy will depending on what you are trying to do. If the wheel, it would be best to set the encoder to put out relative values. Controlling the numbers in the boxes will be much more difficult but I suspect it can be done. Will just have to take a while to figure it out.
Assuming you want to move the mouse to one of the text boxes and then enter a number based on the value of the CC, the following should work. Change the coordinates of translator 0.1 to the screen position you want.
Here is how it works.
Translator 0.0 moves to the mouse position but if the other translators are already in process of setting numbers then it does nothing. Translator 0.2 will clear the busy flag (gd) when done.
Translator 0.1 captures the value of the incoming encoder. It also scales it so instead of 0-127 you will get 0-100. It will then fire a timer to put out the numbers. The value of the encoder are kept in global variable ga. The current digit to display is in global variable gb. The output of this translator calls a timer \"Num2Key\" which will evaluate the current digit kept in global variable gb. In the preset Num to Key, only one of the 12 translators will fire depending on the value of the current digit. to send to the text box (assuming you have the coordinates set correctly).
The translator \"Get Num\" is also smart enough to put spaces in for leading zeros and will always start with outgoing keystroke of shift(clear) to erase the text box.
The result should be.
1 ) Move mouse to position X Y and click
2) Shift Clear to erase text box
3) Send keys text value of the global variable ga to the selected text box
I have no way to test it with Davnici Resolve because for some reason, I can\'t get it working on my Windows PC. It crashes at startup. I tested however with a text editor.
I hope this helps!
