I got VJay a few months ago and I’m really digging it. I’ve just gotten into video projections and this seems like the perfect app. But there are a few requests that I have. It might be worthwhile to mention that I don’t VJ with music videos. In fact, I don’t use the audio from the video clips what-so-ever. I use this as a means of looping and mixing/switching between video clips that I eventually feed into my LZX video synth (LZXindustries.net), which eventually gets projected.
Here’s my wishlist!
-
It would be nice to see the names of videos along with a thumbnail
-
Ability to organize files within app (into folders, alphabetical, etc)
-
Longer looping (ie. 8, 16, 32 bars!!!), or…
-
Ability to set right and left margins for very long looping (ie. looping start and stop points). Some of the videos I use have text (titles, credits, etc) at the begining and end and it would be nice to be able to set loop points in between the text. Also, some videos I have are compilations, and it would be nice to set loop points to select a specific scene and/or part of a video.
-
Allow for manual control of Fisheye and Twirl positioning with the X-Y control
-
Rotate view. Some of the videos I have need to be rotated and it’s a bitch to have to go into some video editing software to rotate them like that. Would be nice to do it within the VJay app.
-
Allow for faster/slower playback. 50%, 100%, 200%!!!
Figured I’d also take this opportunity to point out a few glitches I’ve encountered:
- video struggles briefly when opening videos folder
- Video sometimes briefly (~1 sec) goes black when it goes back to the beginning of a loop. This only happens when it’s set to 4 bars
- Video struggles briefly and goes black when scrubbing too fast.
Other than that, this software is amazing! It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for and was the best $10 I’ve spent so far on my entire video rig
