Logitech is releasing a major software update for the MX Creative Console it launched last fall, expanding the control panel’s compatibility to several new apps. Now available for download in the Logi Marketplace, the update adds “powerful new integrations and expanded functionality for Final Cut Pro,” while new plugins bring support for popular apps like Adobe Lightroom and Figma.
Created in collaboration with Adobe, the new Lightroom plugin allows the MX Creative Console’s large dial controller to be used to straighten images with just a twist, while the keypad’s LCD buttons can be customized with shortcuts for quickly rating and flagging images.
The Figma plugin uses the keypad to speed up tasks like aligning text and adjusting spacing and layouts, while the console’s dial can be used to change the size and weight of text.
The MX Creative Console shipped last October with a collection of plugins supporting several Adobe apps, including Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, After Effects, and Lightroom Classic. Today’s update adds plugins for the cloud-based Adobe Lightroom, DaVinci Resolve, Figma, and the Photoshop alternative, Affinity Photo.
“We have heard from the community that the MX Creative Console not only speeds up their workflow, but has increased their productivity and made work easier. Adding these highly requested plugins will unlock the MX Creative Console’s potential for a broader range of creative professionals,” says the general manager of Logitech’s MX Business Unit, Anatoliy Polyanker.
