All,

Hey, it looks great, but does anyone know if this new version supports DMX control? Most modern DJ's now have separate Windows-based DMX controllers, but no real integration with VDJ. Any thoughts? It would be great to have lighting attributes associated with specific media files. This would facilitate siynchronizing lighting effects with audio, music, video, and text files.

Also, will there be options for mutiple screens/windows... control, video (autoresize), effects, directory, search? I saw something about "docking" features but do these work like normal Windows controls (minimize, full, close, resize, move, etc.)?

You can use VenueMagic or FreeStyler and integrate with Virtual DJ. ShowXpress will also be supported in the very near future.

@Pseft,

You should know by now that features are not discussed before software is released.

I feel bad now :)

Likewise - I use that skin with my VMS4.1 - love it!

Does anyone know if your old skins will work with VDJ 8?
 
Posted Sun 30 Sep 12 @ 2:28 pm
There has been no confirmation regarding v8 features or indeed backwards compatibility.

However, all previous versions have been backwards compatible to new versions.

Even if they are backwards compatible, for best results I'd have thought they'd need re-writing though - the new VDJ has a fancy new scaling feature that is presumably vector based...

Of course you are probably correct. It's probably a safe bet that the timeline feature will also be skin able and obviously no skins have this at present.

However old skins will probably be supported too.

I was under the impression V8 was already out.... what is the ETA?

Good one... lol

I take it you have been denied access to the internet for the last 9 month... rofl

I haven't been on forums in a few months. But I just went to download software updates, and I see the current one is 7.05....???

Is there another method of getting 8.xx?
 
Posted Mon 01 Oct 12 @ 6:51 pm
It is not out yet.

Sometimes, you have to read the book, to get the story.
