Topic: New Video effect please

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Im sorry, I posted my original post in the wrong place (under Wishes and new features) however. With regards to that previous post about the muppet movie led around the screen effect, I found a link for the film clip I was referring to. Watch and Enjoy. Please can one of you fantastic programmers copy this led effect to go around the screen? Btw, you all do a fantastic job making VDJ the best DJing software out there.
Enjoy this muppet scene!

I would say that is more of a visual effect you would apply yourself than an actual plugin Rob.

I wonder how this could be done? I visualised playing music videos and then clicking on 'led effect' under video effects tab and it would put a border of dancing led tiles around the outside of the screen? And this could be switched on and off like turning text on and off?
Are you suggesting it wouldn't be possible to make this as a plugin video effect? If so, any ideas how else this could be achieved? I think it's a fantastic effect!

It was actually really easy!
I Googled "animated gif marquee' found one I liked, then loaded it as a background in Essential Visuals and adjusted the Alpha level.
You can create your own with a Gif animation program.
My test came from this page: http://www.freewebs.com/midmichfamilytheatre/graphics.htm

Thanks DJBav, I will have a look at the link. I've never programmed a gif before but hey, let's have a crack at it!
Happy DJing.

Rob, been a bit busy the last few days to make a tutorial for you, you don't need to make gifs actually but you can use them if you convert to swf/flash and use the Firetext plugin or Pangolins.

Actually I'll try and make something tonight for you if I get the chance.

Thank you very much Tayla. I wait in anticipation!

Sorry Rob it's taken this long to get round to doing this for you, anyway, you need to make your files in swf/flash format to get the window to show the video below your border.

Anything is just about possible, here are a couple I put together one with a gif file manipulated to sit on all four sides the other was just a visual I made with the window in the middle.





If you want an original copy of these go to http://visualshed.forumotion.co.uk/ and head to the custom visual section, there is download links for both files. You will have to sign in though to see the download links.

The forum is just starting up and is there specifically for VDJ, Firetext and Pangolin users to get help and give help to everyone, all files are totally free.
