.SH SYNOPSIS
.B veejay [options] Videofile1 [Videofile2 ... VideofileN]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B veejay
Veejay is a visual instrument and realtime video sampler. It allos you
to "play" the video like you would play a Piano and it allows you to
record the resulting video directly to disk for immediate playback (video sampling).

Thus, Veejay can be operated live by using the keyboard (which is 100% user definable)
and remotely over network (both unicast and multicast) using an inhouse message
system that allows mapping of various protocols on top of it, including OSC.

Veejay is beeing developed in the hope it will be usefull for VJ's , media artists
theathers and other interested users that want to use Free Software for their
performances and/or video installations.
