Tópico: Activating Macros with a fader??

Este tópico es antiguo y puede contener información incorrecta para la nueva versión.

Ok, so for the last 4 days, no bull_hit, I've been tryin to figure out how to script out video effect macros. Well tonight I did it!!! Searched and searched and searched and found this, http://www.fr.virtualdj.com/forums/111826/Hardware_Technical_Support/two_effects_become_one_.html. I had to see how it was writen before because I didnt understand the wiki (not tech savy AT ALL). Ya for me!! lmfao!! Anyways heres my problem, I can map them out to buttons but I cant get them to work with the faders for the life of me.
Heres 1 that I tried and failed at, "video_fx_select "PictureRotation" & video_fx & video_fx_select "VideoCube" & video_fx". Can this even be done with a fader? It seems like it just cant activate. Any info on that would be great.

Next I have noticed that some effects (video and audio) have more then 1 or 2 ways to adjust the sound,speed, or look. Is there a way to link them up? Say if it had 4 adjustments, link 2 together on 1 fader or knob then the next 2 on another fader or knob? Hope that make s sense and again any info would be great.

Hey thanks for looking and your time

Have you tried something like this?

slider greater 80% ? video_fx_select "PictureRotation" & video_fx : slider greater 60% ? video_fx_select "VideoCube" & video_fx : slider greater 40% ? video_fx_select "Sonique" & video_fx

Fianlly you could tight two parameters together in one knob by using "&"
 
Hello,

It already have been told about using a slider. But if you want to activate in one key, or button, your instruction is more complex... here it is using the "V" keyboard letter to assign this action:

KEY: V

ACTION:
holding ? video_fx_clear : video_fx "PictureRotation" active ? video_fx_select "VideoCube" active & video_fx & video_fx_select "PictureRotation" : video_fx_select "Picture Rotation" active & video_fx

When Holding you will cancel all active video_effects. If you press one time the key, you will active Picture Rotation, if you press the same key again, then it would active VideoCube effect, if you press again, it would deactivate VideoCube only. To cancel all effects at once, just hold the key 2 secs and release.

Is what I get. Couldn't make it work in one click, but in twice.
 
I can already get macros to work with a button but I still cant get them to work with the fader. @PhantomDeejay, I tried your way and nothing happened, you have anything else I could try?? You got any other sugestions as what to do with the faders?

@acw dj, to make it work in 1 click try this, action_deck 1 ? deck1 video_fx_select "PictureRotation" & video_fx & deck 1 video_fx_select "VideoCube" & video_fx

Both should turn on and off with 1 click, not at home so I cant check, but Im sure it will work.

Thanks for looking and you time fellas

Wheres "jpboggis" when you need him, lol. If anybody want s to add anything feel free and as always thanks for your time.

If you are looking to adjust the video FX parameter sliders, use:

video_fx_slider 1
video_fx_slider 2

...Etc.

Or to adjust the slider of a specific video effect:

video_fx_select "Name" & video_fx_slider 1
 
And there he is, lol. I was to be able to turn on/off certain effects using my upfaders. Can this be done using faders instead of buttons?
As always thanks for your help
Huey
 
Try the following:

param_smaller 33% ? video_fx_clear : param_smaller 66% ? video_fx_select "Negative" & video_fx on : video_fx_select "Negative" & video_fx off & param_greater 66% ? video_fx_select "Strobe_auto" & video_fx on : video_fx_select "Strobe_auto" & video_fx off
 
ATTENTION, ATTENTION, JPBOGGIS IS THA ISH!!!!!!!! It now works!!Thats what I've been trying to do for the longest time! Thank you, thank you!!

OK I want to map 3 or 4 different effects. Ive tried a ton scripts but only 2 show up or I get the syntax error. This is what I have now,

param_smaller 33% ? video_fx_clear : param_smaller 66% ? video_fx_select "Negative" & video_fx on : video_fx_select "Negative" & video_fx off & param_greater 66% ? video_fx_select "Strobe_auto" & video_fx on : video_fx_select "Strobe_auto" & video_fx off

Any help would be great!!

Thanks for looking and your time

JP where you at, lol! If anybody has any ideas let me know.

Thanks for looking and your time

Nobody?? :-(
 
param_smaller 33% ? video_fx_clear : param_smaller 66% ? video_fx_select "Negative" & video_fx on : video_fx_select "Negative" & video_fx off & param_greater 66% ? video_fx_select "Strobe_auto" & video_fx on : video_fx_select "Strobe_auto" & video_fx off


That statement doesn't seem to have any meaning to me. Are you wanting to activate Negative and Strobe auto at the same time? If so, try something like:

param_smaller 33% ? video_fx_clear : param_smaller 66% ? video_fx_select "Negative" & video_fx on & video_fx_select "Strobe_auto" & video_fx on : video_fx_select "Negative" & video_fx off & video_fx_select "Strobe_auto" & video_fx off
 
That's weird it doesn't work for you. Hmm.....well thats the sentence I have and what happens is as I push the fader up 1 effect will turn on but as I go up it will turn off and the next effect will turn on. Then on the way down both effects are on at the same time until the fader is back to the bottom. Hope that made sense .............

I just want to add 1 or 2 more effects to that string. So when as I push the fader up I can run through 3 or 4 different effects. But every time I try to add another effect it either cancels out 1 or I get that syntax error.

Hope this is all makin sense cause I know sometimes I start to ramble like now, lol!

Thanks for looking and your time

Somehow I misread, on double checking, yes it made sense :)

So you currently have: 

param_smaller 33% ? video_fx_clear : param_smaller 66% ? video_fx_select "Negative" & video_fx on : video_fx_select "Negative" & video_fx off & param_greater 66% ? video_fx_select "Strobe_auto" & video_fx on : video_fx_select "Strobe_auto" & video_fx off


You want to go through more FX on the way up? How about this:

param_smaller 20% ? video_fx_clear : param_smaller 40% ? video_fx_select "Negative" & video_fx on : video_fx_select "Negative" & video_fx off & param_smaller 60% ? video_fx_select "Strobe_auto" & video_fx on : video_fx_select "Strobe_auto" & video_fx off & param_greater 80% ? video_fx_select "Boom_auto" & video_fx on : video_fx_select "Boom_auto" & video_fx off
 
Bro I dont know how you guys can figure this stuff out but that works!! The only I was wondering is, is there a way to activate all 3 at he same time on the way back? Right now when I'm bringin the fader back down only the first 2 activate. If not thats cool.

Thanks for looking and your time and your help
Huey

P.S. I got em all to work at the same time on the way down!! I feel some crazy combos coming on!! LOL!
 
Glad you're sorted :)
 
Heres what I got on 1 fader,

param_smaller 10% ? video_fx_clear : param_smaller 20% ? video_fx_select "Titler" & video_fx on : video_fx_select "Titler" & video_fx off & param_smaller 30% ? video_fx_select "PandoraBox" & video_fx on : video_fx_select "PandoraBox" & video_fx off & param_smaller 40% ? video_fx_select "Backdrop" & video_fx on : video_fx_select "Backdrop" & video_fx off & param_smaller 50% ? video_fx_select "Negative" & video_fx on : video_fx_select "Negative" & video_fx off & param_smaller 60% ? video_fx_select "Syz_ScrollingStrip" & video_fx on : video_fx_select "Syz_ScrollingStrip" & video_fx off & param_smaller 80% ? video_fx_select "VideoCube" & video_fx on : video_fx_select "VideoCube" & video_fx off

Try it out. Hahaaa!! Yes I know, carried away but I use it as a transition aswell. And this also frees up buttons for other things. Also my laptop can run all of these at once with 2 videos and timecodes!!

VDJ is the ISH, WITH THE RIGHT HARDWARE and I think I got it!! Thanks fellas!!

Huey and everyone else: Thanks for this!! I can imagine a lot of things to do with this sort of mapping.
