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

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.

Before running veejay, be sure to add/link some TrueType fonts in

$HOME/.veejay/fonts

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 my-movie-A.avi
veejay -p 4490 my-movie-B.avi

2. Start the veejay graphical interface:

reloaded

Building/Configuring plugins

There are several plugin-packs available for veejay: https://github.com/c0ntrol/veejay/tree/master/veejay-current/plugin-packs

• lvdcrop ; a couple of crop filters and a port of frei0r's scale0tilt
• lvdshared ; a couple of plugins that implement a producer/consumer mechanism for shared video resources
• lvdgmic ; a couple of GMIC based filters, although slow in processing they are quite amazing

To compile and install a plugin-pack:

cd plugin-packs/lvdgmic
./autogen.sh
./configure && make 

Veejay looks in a few common locations to find plugins:

• /usr/local/lib/frei0r-1
• /usr/lib/frei0r-1
• /usr/lib64/frei0r-1

You can list more locations in $HOME/.veejay/plugins.cfg

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

Debugging

if you want to debug veejay-server (or if you want to submit a meaningful backtrace), build with:

 ./configure --enable-debug
