It is advised to read the howto and the MAN page as well.
|
|
|
|
You can launch veejay with
|
|
|
|
$ veejay -d
|
|
|
|
This should show some moving black/white footage. Most of the effects will be boring on this footage,
|
|
so you can try to open your video4linux device with
|
|
|
|
sayVIMS "240:0 1;" (device 0, channel 1)
|
|
|
|
Or, to use mplayer, create a FIFO first:
|
|
|
|
$ mkfifo stream.yuv
|
|
|
|
Use something like 'mplayer -vo yuv4mpeg -x 352 -y 288 -vf scale -zoom'
|
|
|
|
and open the stream in veejay's console:
|
|
|
|
sayVIMS "243:stream.yuv;"
|
|
|
|
Move your mouse pointer to the SDL window (so it dissapears) and press 'ESC' to
|
|
switch from the dummy footage to the last created or played video stream.
|
|
|
|
Try loading an AVI file with something like:
|
|
|
|
$ veejay -v mjpeg-video-file.avi
|
|
|
|
The '-v' commandline option generates extra debugging output.
|
|
|
|
By default, veejay uses a SDL window for displaying video. You can specify veejay to
|
|
write to STDOUT :
|
|
|
|
$ veejay -O3 -o stdout mjpeg-video-file.avi | yuvplay
|
|
|
|
In this mode, the console input and SDL keyboard functions are disabled. You must use
|
|
the sendVIMS commandline utility to interact with veejay or with an alternative utility like sendOSC.
|
|
Refer to the howto for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have loaded veejay (preferably with a videofile)
|
|
|
|
(see man veejay for an overview of both console input and SDL keyboard events)
|
|
|
|
press 'KP 1' , 'left bracket', 'KP 3', 'right bracket' , 'F1'
|
|
|
|
This will create a virtual clip (in memory) from your entire video file.
|
|
|
|
If you press 'KP divide' , veejay will return to plain video mode so you can create more clips.
|
|
If you press 'ESC' , veejay will switch from playing streams to playing clips or vice versa
|
|
|
|
Press F1 to F12 to select a clip,
|
|
press 1 to 9 to select a bank (1 = clips 1 to 12, 2 = clips 12 to 24, etc )
|
|
|
|
Once you are playing a clip/stream, simply press
|
|
'Cursor UP' , 'ENTER'
|
|
|
|
If you add a video effect, try pressing '-' and '=' to select another channel and '/' to
|
|
toggle between clip/stream sources
|
|
|
|
|
|
Veejay supports chaining of effects since day 0, a number of keys have some importance
|
|
|
|
'-' ,'=' and '/'
|
|
|
|
'END' for enabling/disabling the chain
|
|
'KP -' for selecting the previous entry
|
|
'KP +' for selecting the next entry
|
|
'ALT+END' for enabling/disabling the current selected entry
|
|
'ENTER' for adding an effect from the list to the chain
|
|
'DEL' for removing an effect from the chain
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, you can press 'HOME' to see clip or stream information.
|
|
|
|
Try the keys 'A' to 'L' to increase/decrease playback speed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, you can load some predefined custom effect chain templates that
|
|
will put a template on your effect chain when you press SHIFT + some alphabetic character
|
|
|
|
First, load an action file
|
|
|
|
$ veejay -l test/livecinema/action-file.xml
|
|
|
|
Or in veejay's console
|
|
|
|
> al test/livecinema/action-file.xml
|
|
|
|
(activate a stream or clip and) press SHIFT+S or SHIFT+B or SHIFT+ ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Except all that, try this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
sayVIMS -h localhost -p 3490 "241:63;"
|
|
(press F7)
|
|
|
|
to open your dv1394 firewire device
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
sayVIMS -h localhost -p 3490 "240:0 1;"
|
|
(press F7)
|
|
|
|
to open your video4linux device /dev/video0, channel 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
