LOUPEDECK Live S: How to Create and Use Multi Actions for Automation

Creating a Multi Action

• 🎯 Select a Multi Action and drag it onto your desired button on the LOUPEDECK Live S.
• 💡 You can optionally add an icon and text for the button, but this is not essential for functionality.

Adding Actions and Delays

• ⚙️ Begin by dragging actions into the multi-action fields. The first action demonstrated is opening an application, specifically the calculator.
• ⏳ Add a delay after opening an application, as it can take time for the app to load. A delay of 300 milliseconds (0.3 seconds) is suggested.

Incorporating Keyboard Shortcuts

• ⌨️ To add a keyboard shortcut, click the key field and record the desired keystroke.
• ➕ Note that you can only add one keystroke per field. For sequences like "+", you'll need to record "Shift" and "=" separately.
• ⚠️ The video mentions that closing an application is not directly visible as an option within the custom settings.

Testing and Troubleshooting

• 🚀 Testing the multi-action on the desktop showed it worked, summing "5" and "6".
• ⚠️ An initial issue where the multi-action didn't work was observed, possibly due to the LOUPEDECK app not automatically focusing on the target application, unlike other devices like Stream Deck.
• ✅ The issue was resolved, and the multi-action was confirmed to work consistently after the initial test.

Final Thoughts

• ✨ The video aims to provide the knowledge needed to understand and create your own custom multi-actions on the LOUPEDECK Live S.
• 🛠️ Multi-actions offer flexibility and power for automating tasks, creating macros, and streamlining workflows for creative work, streaming, or general productivity.
