A nice setup for those amateurs who edit videos - Behringer x-touch compact + Bome midi controller
I'm just an amateur who likes to edit videos using premiere pro, and searched around for a good controller. Specialized ones were expensive, so bought a second hand midi controller:
Behringer X-touch compact and Bome midi software .
I chose the Behringer as it has a LOT of dials (16) in addition to many buttons and sliders - generally more than the more expensive specialized video editing panels.
The Bome software has a learning curve, though once you know how to do a couple of things (dials and buttons) it's copy/paste. You can alter every dial, button and slider for any program (I was happy to see that it worked for a music program I was using without having to change anything).
I also use it for lightroom (using the lightroom midi free software).
Here's my config which is improving:

I can share the config if anyone wants it.
I'm not paid by any of these companies.
Thanks for posting— I use the same setup. Huge plus is the control of Lightroom Classic with the X-touch using midi2lr.
It's quite satisfying to run through a lot of photos in LR by quickly changing expsoure, shadows etc with the sliders, and it has nice chunky buttons.
That's not a bad idea the way you've mapped it to video editing controls as well. I assumed this was just for the mixing stage of your video project. Are the faders motorized? I want something like this but specifically for motorized faders, most options are just too expensive for me to make the luxury worth it though.
