Installation

Veejay is divided into multiple packages. Each must be build separately and in a specific order.

1. veejay-server
2. veejay-client
3. veejay-utils
4. plugin-packs

For each package, run confgure and make:

 ./autogen.sh
 ./configure
 make && make install

Nota : in some configuration you will have to rebuild the shared libraries cache just after veejay-server installation (ex sudo ldconfig or similar)

If you want veejay to be optimized for the current cpu-type, you do not need to pass any parameters. If you do not know what cpu veejay will be running on , pass --with-arch-target=auto to configure.

Usage

Running veejay is a much too large topic to cover in this readme. Various pointers have been bundled with the sources in veejay/veejay-current/veejay-server/doc

Articles covering various aspects of "how to veejay" can be found on veejayhq.net

But the quick answer would be:

1. Start one or more Veejay servers:

veejay --clip-as-sample my-movie-A.avi
veejay -p 4490 -g my-movie-B.avi

2. Start and autoconnect the veejay graphical interface:

reloaded -a

Building and Configuring plugins

Veejay contain more than 160 built-in FX, many unique and original FX filters.
But you can have more !

There are several plugin-packs available for veejay.

Also, Veejay looks in a few common locations to find plugins. You can even list more locations in $HOME/.veejay/plugins.cfg

You can change the default FX parameter values by editing the files in $HOME/.veejay/frei0r/ and $HOME/.veejay/livido/

For more verbose information about plugins and FX check How to Plugins

Debugging
