Hi,
Is there a way when you are playing a video, to NOT have the video appear on the screens in the club, but could still get the text that you type in to show up?
in other words,
you are playing a music video and want the audio, but not the video to show so that the screens will only have your text that you type in?
thanks!

i do this sometimes by just throwing up a "logo" of a giant black screen and turning off all transparency.
then just put whatever text you want on top!

Yes,
under effects > video effect > text > activate > message > color > apply
this will over ride video playing

On a related note...I was doing a karaoke the other night and noticed that my text plugin didn't always work. I'd have a karaoke tune playing fine on one side, buy when I switched over to "normal" audio for the next track, I couldn't get my text to display.
Anyone got any ideas?
Hoff...sorry for hijacking.
Cheers...and keep spinnin'...(",)

@ fatkatz

To have a black screen, simply make a black graphic file (jpeg or bpm),and activate slideshow plugin for that picture (fills the screen with black image)
Then apply text after that, and the text will appear over the black image
hope that helps :)

Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe that if you move the video fader on VDJ screen to the opposite side of the playing deck you will get a black screen with text.
I will double check later when I get home.

Actually, you will get a black screen as long as you don't have a video playing in the opposite side from the one you don't want the video to show, also, make sure your video fader and music fader are not linked.

Hey Nor-
long time.
Actually I have been using that black screen thing for a while to black out in the club. But it also blacks out the text.
It blacks out text and the music video. is that weird?
So when I have it on slideshow (the black .jpg), it is overcoming the text too.

vdj formed it's own hierarchy of plugins... i was going to map it out but i started to fall asleep so @$%& it... it can be done... i do it all the time, sometime when I don't want to. I happend to look up at the video screen to make the corrections.
the text will overlay over the video so just mouse the video fade to the other deck...

Not if you apply text AFTER you apply the black slideshow.
VDJ effects are ORDERED:)
Last one applied is on top....

@ Nor,
okay this is strange.
Video is playing, I hit the blackout shortcut key (which is the SLIDEshow effect of a black picture).
Screen goes blank.
I hit text, and then the video comes back on (tried many times and always comes back on).
This is why I cant seem to get the text by itself.
whatcha think of that?
:-)

Can someone give me a step by step on how to do this? I mean how to create a slideshow. If it's too much, can you point me in the right direction, or PM the info.

Download the slideshow plugin if you dont already have it from Video plugins
Loate the plugin in your video effect browser in VDJ, activate it, and choose "open" to open a graphic file to be shown on your screen (if you also want to rotate the images in same folder, press "slideshow").
Then got to the text plugin in VDJ, activate it, write a text, and press apply on the effect.
:)
