[0:00] this is a stream deck
[0:02] but i'm not a streamer today i want to
[0:04] share with you guys how i set up my
[0:06] all-white stream deck as a content
[0:08] creator's dream
[0:10] let's talk about it
[0:24] so
[0:32] youtube what's good it's your boy will
[0:34] back in the building with another video
[0:35] welcome back to my channel if you're new
[0:37] here what's good if you enjoy content
[0:39] like this maybe consider hitting
[0:40] subscribe if you are a returning
[0:42] subscriber what it do what's good that
[0:45] your boy up i got a really dope video
[0:46] today we're going to be checking out the
[0:48] brand new all white mark ii version of
[0:52] the stream deck today i'm going to be
[0:53] showing you guys how to set up a stream
[0:55] deck for productivity such as social
[0:57] media quick buttons smart home control
[0:59] with lifx and cola light leds and adobe
[1:03] creative cloud apps the stream deck is
[1:05] offered in a six button version a 15
[1:07] button version and a 32 i think the
[1:10] sweet spot is going to be the 15 button
[1:12] and also that's the only one that you
[1:13] can get in white right now just because
[1:15] you only have 15 buttons you still have
[1:17] access to so much more that we'll go
[1:20] over later you can do things like add
[1:21] folders to go inside of a menu to go
[1:25] inside of another menu to go inside of
[1:26] another menu or you can even do pages
[1:29] where you can scroll over to another
[1:31] page this thing is really limitless as
[1:33] of right now elgato sells six custom
[1:35] plates that you can purchase separately
[1:38] to add to your stream deck to customize
[1:40] it and kind of make it yours let's go
[1:41] ahead and get inside this so we can
[1:43] actually play with the stream deck let's
[1:45] go first thing you get out of the box is
[1:47] your stream deck this is the all-white
[1:49] one as you see you also get a white
[1:51] stand or a black stand depending on the
[1:53] version that you go with you get a
[1:54] matching usbc to usba cable and a quick
[1:57] start guide the size of this stream deck
[1:59] is going to be 3.3 inches by 4.6 inches
[2:03] by less than an inch it also has you
[2:06] know the elgato branding on it i guess
[2:09] if you were building like a desk you can
[2:11] kind of like integrate it inside of the
[2:13] desk i do love just how small this is if
[2:16] you just look at like the footprint at
[2:17] the bottom of the stand there is
[2:20] rubberized padding as well so it's not
[2:23] going to like slide off your desk so
[2:24] whatever first thing you're going to do
[2:26] is go to elgato's website right side you
[2:29] click on downloads you're then going to
[2:31] pick on select product you're going to
[2:33] scroll down to you see stream deck
[2:35] that's what the software is called and
[2:37] depending on your operating system
[2:39] you're going to choose mac or windows
[2:41] once you download and install the app it
[2:44] will now pop in like so right here this
[2:46] is like the basic information about your
[2:48] stream deck stream deck name and then
[2:50] right here these are going to be
[2:51] profiles and profiles is basically like
[2:55] a brand new stream deck think of it like
[2:56] this right now this is a profile that i
[2:58] have and then this is another profile
[3:01] that i have
[3:03] and this is a new profile these
[3:05] different profiles can be used for
[3:06] different programs if you click right
[3:08] here this is the stream deck store
[3:10] really what's cool in here is going to
[3:11] be the plugins plugins are basically
[3:14] pre-made uh effects for apps this is the
[3:18] spotify plugin once you sit up here and
[3:20] install it like so
[3:22] now when you come back to your stream
[3:24] deck these are the plugins right here on
[3:27] the right side so all of these plugins
[3:29] are from that stream deck library that i
[3:31] just showed you and now what this does
[3:33] is it already has some predetermined
[3:36] effects and it makes it so simple that
[3:38] all i got to do is drag and drop and
[3:40] let's say i do next track here
[3:43] previous track here i had a volume and a
[3:46] volume right what's really cool about
[3:48] this is as you just seen all i did was
[3:51] just drag and drop everything onto this
[3:53] and it just popped up right here and now
[3:55] to make it work all i got to do is just
[3:57] press this button
[3:59] right so if you notice all i did was
[4:01] press that one button it immediately
[4:03] opened up my spotify
[4:05] and it should be playing but it's not so
[4:07] i'm gonna hit it again now it's playing
[4:09] oh
[4:10] let me turn it down before copyright
[4:12] really cool how you can even see the
[4:15] artwork you know right here the next
[4:17] track will go to the next track as you
[4:19] just seen right there and i could go to
[4:21] the previous track that just made life a
[4:23] little bit easier it made it simple to
[4:25] configure because this is a plugin that
[4:28] stream deck has already have built into
[4:30] their interface so another app here that
[4:33] i really like is going to be
[4:35] the lifx so
[4:37] this will only work with lifx smart
[4:40] lights so i'm gonna grab this toggle
[4:42] lifx power on and off you know you will
[4:45] have to like log in and configure this
[4:47] but that's the easy part you should know
[4:49] how to log in and all that i'm not gonna
[4:50] show you so right now i have my lifx
[4:52] beam i'm gonna select in my desk strip
[4:54] we're just gonna go ahead and tap it and
[4:58] i think you can tell yeah you gotta tell
[4:59] because my face got darker over here and
[5:01] if i tap it again it just comes right
[5:03] back on we're gonna go to another cool
[5:05] one that i love it's gonna be color
[5:07] light i'm gonna
[5:08] select uh let's do color light mix and
[5:12] all i gotta do is just tap this
[5:15] and as you've seen
[5:16] the color light mix cut off and then if
[5:19] i tap it again it comes back on so now
[5:21] we're gonna go ahead and get into some
[5:23] more advanced stuff all right
[5:25] so if you notice when i drag and drop
[5:28] these specific apps like apple music
[5:30] lifx and cola light you can click right
[5:33] here this drop down and you can set from
[5:36] file you can create an icon with
[5:38] elgato's software which is free and you
[5:41] can also open up the stream deck icon
[5:43] library so we're just going to select
[5:45] this real quick inside of here these are
[5:48] all of the different icons that you can
[5:52] download right so real quick if you go
[5:54] back here to the stream deck store now
[5:56] we go to icons these are actually
[5:58] different icon packs i have the premiere
[6:00] pro icon pack that's how i was able to
[6:04] set all of my premiere pro shortcuts up
[6:07] you still have davinci resolve
[6:09] you have after effects it's not like a
[6:12] lot in here but they there are some
[6:14] useful icons that can help you and now
[6:16] we go open stream deck library
[6:18] that is where all of the icon packs that
[6:21] you download so another one you
[6:24] definitely gonna need is gonna be this
[6:25] animated gif one right here i'm pretty
[6:28] sure you can download your own gifs and
[6:30] program them but unfortunately i didn't
[6:33] go that deep into it there is limited
[6:36] animated gift pack right here and we're
[6:38] just going to go ahead and toss one on i
[6:41] think it's pretty cool
[6:42] so
[6:43] let's do that
[6:45] so as you can see now you got this
[6:47] moving guy
[6:49] in order to actually get
[6:51] official app icons you have to actually
[6:54] download it from the internet so i'm
[6:55] going to type in lifx app
[7:00] logo i'm going to get this lifx icon so
[7:02] i'm just going to go ahead and save it
[7:05] and then i'm going to select from file
[7:07] and if i go to my
[7:10] downloads and i click on lifx logo 2 now
[7:14] you can see the lifx logo right here
[7:16] which makes more sense the only file
[7:18] types that this will accept is going to
[7:20] be jpeg and png files so we're going to
[7:24] now do something a little bit more
[7:25] advanced now i know you guys know you
[7:27] can create folders in here but i'm going
[7:29] to show you useful ways to use it real
[7:31] quick i'm just going to create a new
[7:32] folder i am actually going to drag and
[7:34] drop all oh nope
[7:38] drag that into the folder
[7:41] this now right here i can go
[7:44] i'm gonna select from file and i already
[7:47] got the spotify
[7:49] app logo here so i'm just gonna
[7:52] find that real quick so boom now you can
[7:55] see the spotify logo and now when we
[7:57] click into
[7:58] that spotify logo now it brings up the
[8:01] spotify
[8:02] preset buttons that we already set and
[8:04] then inside the folder you always have
[8:06] that back button to go revert back so in
[8:09] system these are predetermined plug-in
[8:12] presets again
[8:13] that you can basically drag and drop so
[8:15] we're gonna do a website right i'm gonna
[8:17] go to my
[8:19] youtube channel and right now would be a
[8:21] good time to tell you to subscribe to my
[8:22] channel i'm gonna go ahead and copy my
[8:24] url for here i'm gonna paste this
[8:28] we're gonna select file and we're gonna
[8:30] use this youtube icon
[8:33] boom and as you see it's already right
[8:35] here right so now when i tap this icon
[8:39] it goes to my youtube channel like how
[8:40] dope is that right
[8:43] now i know you probably like oh wow
[8:46] that just saved me tom so we're just
[8:47] gonna do a regular hot key
[8:49] if i select right here and i do a
[8:52] keystroke i'm gonna do shift command
[8:54] three and that is a screenshot if i hit
[8:57] that logo
[8:58] it's gonna just take a screenshot as you
[9:00] can see right here at the bottom this is
[9:02] the screenshot that i just took this is
[9:04] one of my favorites this is open i can
[9:06] make this button open a app or a file
[9:10] very self-explanatory we're gonna go to
[9:12] choose and i forgot you have to actually
[9:14] click the icon of the app and as you see
[9:16] with this it brought in the logo
[9:19] with this application which is good but
[9:21] it doesn't do it all the time so just
[9:23] keep that in mind now when i hit the
[9:25] lightroom classic button
[9:27] lightroom should open up
[9:30] any day now
[9:32] again
[9:32] this is all about productivity here
[9:35] that's what we're trying to create we're
[9:36] trying to create faster processes to do
[9:39] things so we could get more things done
[9:42] i feel like i explained to you guys a
[9:44] lot about
[9:45] how to kind of use this interface so now
[9:47] i'm going to go ahead and switch to my
[9:49] profile so i can show you all the cool
[9:51] stuff that i did this is my default
[9:52] profile right here these are pages right
[9:55] each profile can do up to 10 different
[9:58] pages this is my premiere pro button so
[10:01] if i select on premiere pro now it goes
[10:05] into another folder first page is like
[10:08] the basic editing stuff this is for all
[10:10] the stuff that i need to do like once i
[10:13] first start the session and then the
[10:15] next page is more for like fine-tuned
[10:18] editing with just the press of that one
[10:20] button premiere pro is now opening once
[10:22] i open up premiere pro i like to hit
[10:24] this button this is going to be my
[10:26] epidemic sound page this is the website
[10:28] that i use for all the music including
[10:31] the one that you're listening to right
[10:32] now so then i will go ahead and i will
[10:34] click import
[10:35] and this is now me important clips so
[10:38] once i select the clips i need i import
[10:41] them now i got save right
[10:43] that takes way less time than
[10:46] obviously doing it manual another cool
[10:48] thing i want to show you guys is this so
[10:50] i went ahead here and set up these
[10:53] labels and basically what a label is is
[10:55] these different colors on my
[10:59] timeline of clips i made these custom
[11:01] because i wanted to do the color labels
[11:03] that i'm showing you now normally again
[11:05] these are not here but i programmed them
[11:08] by simply dragging and dropping them
[11:10] so yeah it's very self-explanatory you
[11:12] just drag and drop right so now what i
[11:15] do is make f12 which is gonna be red
[11:19] this custom key
[11:20] so we're gonna go here to here
[11:24] and now here and then now you see i have
[11:26] f12 to be the shortcut for the color red
[11:30] which also is associated with this you
[11:32] can
[11:33] do pretty much anything that you desire
[11:36] with this so again this just makes life
[11:38] easier all i got to do is select the
[11:40] clip and then if i hit red now it just
[11:43] changes red blue
[11:45] whatever color i want what i can tell
[11:47] you is this is a game changer for me and
[11:51] my setup when it comes to video editing
[11:53] my tick tock i got instagram on my
[11:56] youtube so if i just go click on this
[11:58] button this brings up my youtube creator
[12:01] studio dashboard right here this is
[12:03] going to bring up my comment section how
[12:05] i showed you guys earlier how you can
[12:07] add this little text plugin um i
[12:10] basically just made some predetermined
[12:12] uh comments that i typically reply to so
[12:16] i got t a b and if i
[12:19] tap that you can see it says thanks a
[12:21] lot bro if i hit mtc it says more to
[12:24] come thanks for your support this is my
[12:27] youtube sub count i just basically
[12:29] triggered this button so it just pulls
[12:31] up my sub count this is my mail one so
[12:34] if i click on this it opens up another
[12:36] window this is my gmail mail
[12:38] and this is my yahoo what's also cool is
[12:41] it opens up in the same exact size so if
[12:44] i make it like this and then i hit close
[12:46] and now i hit my downloads again it
[12:48] opens right back up from memory now i
[12:50] don't know if that's a stream deck thing
[12:52] or if that's apple but either way it's
[12:54] pretty cool you do have if then than
[12:57] that if you've never heard of if-then
[12:58] and that you got to check them out but
[13:00] i'm gonna be honest with you guys so i
[13:01] tried to set this up to show off in this
[13:03] video
[13:04] and i just didn't get it they need to
[13:07] make this way more simpler everybody
[13:09] thinks of a stream deck and you just
