Topic: VDJ 2018 'Video_Fx' Command Changed

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Before VDJ 2018, the command (mapped to a button or key) 'deck master video_fx "plugin"' activates/deactivates the plugin and shows the plugin in the video effect slot of the master deck (and its corresponding controls).

In VDJ 2018, the same command activates/deactivates the plugin BUT does not update the video effect slot with the plugin.

The command 'video_fx_select "plugin" & video_fx "plugin"' does the job but the 'video_fx_select' command deactivates the previous plugin in the slot resulting in only one video effect running at a time. The only to way to have multiple video effects running is by selecting the plugin thru the video effect pulldown menu.

Is there any new command or scheme that I am missing to make this work the same way with mapped keys and buttons? Thanks for a reply from the Dev Staff.

The action deck master video_fx_select "plugin" works fine here.. it updates the V.EFFECTS drop-down in the Skin. Which one have you tried ?

To select a different Plugin, without de-activating the previous one, you can try ..
deck master effect_select_multi "video" "PluginName" & deck master video_fx


Tip: you can use all the effect_ actions for the "Video Slot", by adding "video" as above (or "transition", "audioonlyvisualisation", "colorfx") after the action and before the other parameters.

Bingo!!!

The above command did it! Thanks so much @djdad for that prompt spot-on response. My workflow is back on track with VDJ 2018.
