As shown in the demo video. V5. I can't overlay video. For example, i choose something from clip bank, then activate sonique, and moving the transparency slider has no effect, the sonique only appears when I stop the clip bank. Any ideas?

I have similar problem. I can't work out how to select the playing of more than one video clip simultaneously in ClipBank. I have tried holding down control, shift etc. whilst selecting but am unable to select more than one video clip at the same time. It was demonstrated in the demo of V5 and have watched it closely but it doesn't show how to select more than one! I have check V4 manual and can't find it. Anyone help on this one?

hi lads
erm have you remembered to press on slideshow when you activate sonique see if that helps...and use transparency slider for desired effect...

Yep, I had tried all that but no effect. Funnily enough, after a restart of the system, mine started doing it OK, strange. Didn't even know you could overlay 2 different loops though, is this correct?

PARTIAL FIX & POSSIBLE BUG ALERT:
OK, if I go to config/video and set sonique to play on audio only files (bottom check box) It will NOT over/underlay on loop bank graphics, if i untick the box (bottom check box config/video) then the transparency slider works fine and you CAN do the funky stuff. Can sopmeone please try this to confirm repeatable bug.

hi, yeah, to me it looks like when soniques are selected as automatic for audio files they're automatically sent to the "bottom" of the plugin pile and since you can't make the clipbank semi-transparent you can't see them both at the same time.
It seems though, like tophouse said, if you don't have sonique selected to automatically come on, you can activate the clipbank, then put the soniques on top of that by activating them after clipbank, and then using the "transparency" slider on the sonique page to make both elements visible.
Not sure it's really a "bug" though- there's just no easy way to order the video plugins.
Also, were you saying that you can layer two clips together from the clipbank- if it is how do you do that!?

I can't see how it can be done since clipbank has no transparency slider, yet a poster above says the demo video shows it, i didn't see that, I just saw sonique overlaying.

Maybe I am speaking a different language to the rest of this post but no one has answered the problem here. Let me reiterate. I am unable to select more than one clipbank video to run simultaneously. On the video demo it shows it is possible and a blue square is shown around more than one clipbank. How is this done, I tried shift, control and control + shift etc. HOWEVER I am unable to select more than 1 at once!!! and it does not tell you anywhere how to do it. So has anyone got the answer on this one?

Actualy, the problem here is in the FIRST post which happened to be MINE!
Don't you just hate it when someone hijacks a thread then moans because no-one answers them!
Then again, maybe it's just your attitude!

I can only tell you how I am doing it. I use avs converter and convert a number of these short avi files to one long mpg file.
Then load that mpg file, which contains several, or many of the avi clips strung together.
This might be the only way to go.
I hope this helps.

It's definitely a layering problem, it's dependant on which effect (clip bank or sonique) is turned on first, hence why if you have 'always use this plugin for audio only files' set to sonique, sonique switches on first & the layering wont work. I'm also finding that playing about with this layering and switching on/off clip bank and sonique I can easily make VDJ freeze on my home machine (not chancing it on my gig box yet) with my ending up having to ctrl alt del and vdj is listed as "not responding" There's definitewly problems with this layering of sonique and clip bank. Perhaps this subject is worthy of some teamer input since somethings certainly amiss here.

Tophouse - I did not intend to hijack and infact you had no responses until my post! But the slightly annoying thing is that the posts after mine didn't really deal with the problem that you and I had! (attitude??? - I think not).

Well, I watched the video demo again and dazza you're right- there is more than one clip with a blue box round it- but if you look at the vdeo output, you only ever see one clip at a time. So maybe it was just a bug that the blue boarder wasn't de-activated when another clip was selected, or maybe they were being layered together, but since non of the clips can be transparent, there was no point so they changed the way it works.
I think the bottom line is that you can't layer clips from the clipbank on top of each other.
You can layer the soniques on top though using the transparency slider (provided you don't have them as the default for audio files, which you're right is stupid!)
