From video or photo editing to music production, graphic and industrial design, the latest Loupedeck tool covers all facets of editing for creative professionals. Meet the Loupedeck Creative Tool.

Facing the rising demand for a more versatile tool for professional grade editing, the Loupedeck Creative Tool introduces, according to the company, “a powerful and highly adaptable user interface, designed to work in sync with all editing tools and software. Combined with exceptional build quality and design, the Loupedeck Creative Tool places the tools you use right at your fingertips with buttons, dials, and touchscreens completely customizable to your own personal work style.”

Created for professionals required to work across all facets of the creative editing and design process, the Loupedeck Creative Tool provides native support for Adobe Lightroom Classic, Photoshop, Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro X for photo and video editing in addition to the company’s first-ever integrations with Ableton Live for music production and Adobe Illustrator for design and digital illustration.

Compatibility with Autodesk Fusion 360 is  next

Compatibility with multiple apps does not stop there, and the company announced that “compatibility with Autodesk Fusion 360 can be expected by the close of 2019 with further integrations to be announced in the new year. Like Loupedeck+, the Creative Tool is a natural extension of your keyboard, mouse, tablet and pen for absolute precision and enhancement to the creation workflow.”

The company does not see the Autodesk Fusion 360 compatibility as the last step, and is now accepting open integration requests by third party developers, interested in expanding our software compatibility by creating a hardware enabled integration. Those interested should get in touch with Loupedeck visiting the link to the specific area of their website.
