Hi guys, I’m going to show you a DIY dial for Premiere Pro.
I’m really into making Youtube videos.
Sometimes it is hard to rewind the moment I wanted pause.
So, I thought it would be nice if I had a dial for it.

You will need to print 3d parts by using 3d printer.
If you don't have one, find somewhere that has a 3D printer around your place. Fablab or maker space must have 3d printer.
First of all, you need to prepare some parts and 3d printing things.
3d parts are on the thingiverse.
You can check the links here
The very first step is soldering.
This weird connection shows that I didn’t want to use any wires for soldering it at all.
I used digital output for giving ground and 5v.
It works well.
Put the circuit board into the drum frame.
I uploaded a nut shape model on the thingiverse just in case you don’t have a proper size of nuts.
If you want to fix it completely, glue it.
Put 4 quarter into the bottom frame for making it heavy.
Now, I’m going to assemble them together.
Put the dial into the frame or you can use other knobs for it.
The is github, you can download the source code in here.
Click that button and download.
You need to unzip it.
Meanwhile, plug usb cable into your arduino board and your PC.
if you didn’t install the arduino IDE, please install it.
Select Arduino Leonardo in the Tool bar - Board - Arduino Leonardo
And Select the Communication Port which is in Tool - Port.
You can see the new port when you plug your arduino to your pc
Now, Hit the upload button
If you can see “Done uploading” text, it means done.
It has a click switch. Everytime you click it, the arduino sends a space text.
So, you can make the premiere pro play and pause.
I think you guys have been suffered from this situation. For example, I wanted to pause when the scene is changed. But I cannot stop it immediately, So, I had no choice but to seek it by clicking here and there.
Now With this dial, I am able to seek it way better than ever.
