Here is Focus. A dedicated Video skin (2 decks)



Every control is displayed on Screen with semi-transparent elements. A menu is offered to choose which elements you wish to see and which not.
The menu hides/shows from the top-right "eye" button.
Some custom buttons available at the center as well.

Some useful actions/variables (e.g. if you want to map your F keys or create some custom setups with combinations)
toggle '@$options' (hide/shows the menus)
set '@$hc' 1 (shows HotCue points on screen)
set '@$hc' 2 (shows HotCue Info on screen)
set '@$hc' 0 (hides all HotCue Info from screen)

Come on then..... spill the beans.......

@djdad the pre-load message on each deck says "Drag n drop here a video file".

The correct English is "Drag n drop a video file here".

Very nice! There are features in this skin I have been wanting for a while...
I'm really liking the overlaid controls; excellent skills sir!

How did you get 'fullscreen' video on the master? I can only get 4:3 displays even with a 16:9 window and video. There is always unused black bars on each side even with widescreen video. It needs to be zoomed in somehow..... I'm stumped :-/

try adding this to a custom button... call it aspect

setting 'letterBoxing' 'zoom' ? setting 'letterBoxing' 'crop' : setting 'letterBoxing' 'crop' ? setting 'letterBoxing' 'bars' : setting 'letterBoxing' 'zoom'

Excellent, fantastic .... five stars

Is there a way of having an unload button for each deck?
Thanks
 
Posted Sat 06 Sep 14 @ 6:50 am
Assign 'unload' to a custom button perhaps. :-)

@djdad the tooltip for custom buttons has a spelling error - butoon.
 
Posted Sat 06 Sep 14 @ 7:15 am
A couple of missing features.. (though can reproduce in a custom button)

Video transition left/right decks, can do with custom button...
video_transition

Pitch lock, again can do with custom button
pitch_lock

Think the video transition left/right is more important to incorporate..
and could we have slightly bigger (hideable) buttons please??

and Artist/title on separate lines perhaps too???

As i wrote in the other Addon thread, the skin is not made for touchscreens in mind. I didnt add more "buttons" on the Video preview as i didnt want to clutter this with functions that not all use. I may add an additional line below the menus with more custom buttons in next update, but not anything else on those screens... i think they have already the necessary info to mix properly.

the skin is made having controllers in mind and users who need large video previews.

@Groovin, thanks, will fix that too. ty.

Nice one. Will definitely try it.

I think there is a bug in this skin.

If all the volume sliders are down, the master is down and even the crossfader is on the opposite deck,
the volume level of the deck still shows output.
It doesn't increase or decrease of I change the volume sliders on the SX.

Here is a screenshot with all volume and master down. Even booth and headphone is down, but the Skin still shows the level.

Will depend on what type of Vu it uses.

If you right click can you change them on this skin?
