This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi Im a DJ and have a requirement for outputting the bride and grooms name on the dance floor, however they have requested that it swirls on the floor, i can output the text no problem, but can't seem to find how to get it to swirl, not even with a plugin, any ideas.

Do you not have any moving heads that you can put a custom gobo in?

Your best bet would be to make a video of the text doing what you want using something like Vegas or TextMachine.

Or you can use free software like blender 3d and export it to a video file format of your preference. Such awesome software!

My question is, how are you projecting this on the floor, NOW?

Have you tryed SBDJs ScratchRotate in the effects>video effects section
It says it "rotates the video with the jog wheel"
I'm speculating that it will constantly rotate the playing video on the deck you run this on, so prepare the bride and grooms name in text, record the video output (using virtualdj) then loadup that saved clip to a deck and run the scratch rotate plugin (on the deck, not on master effect)

You need a Custom Gobo Projector
