Stream Deck for Productivity with Keyboard Maestro

Published 2024-05-31
The Stream Deck from @elgato is in my view the ultimate piece of productivity hardware.... @Keyboard_Maestro is the ultimate automation and productivity tool for the Mac, so put them together and you have something pretty powerful!

In this video I give a brief introduction to Stream Deck and Keyboard Maestro and share a few examples of how I use the two together.

    Hey - wondering if you ever do consulting on how to best set up streamdeck for most productivity. Like me pay you to show you my workflow and see if there are ways to make it more efficient
  • @sgriff36
    Thanks Alec for answering the “home Icon” question exactly what I was asking
  • @marcuscarter
    Fantastic tutorial as always Alec, really love these productivity lessons, thanks so much!! Quick question, I know you don't edit your vids, great idea, takes ages, but in Premiere Pro, they don't offer a way to add presets and effects with shortcuts, you have to choose them from the list and drag them onto the clips. Do you reckon it could be done with Keyboard Maestro? Thanks all the best
  • @ebaart
    Once again... very useful ! Thanks Alec 🙏
  • @easyonlineimpact
    Just caught the replay. Did you mention that you have Keyboard Maestro macros available for import along with your icons? I'd be interested.
