Topic: Can't View Video Source Menu

I'm trying learn about shaders and how to install them but can't view the video source menu in the video mixer panel. I want to learn more about video in VDJ but there doesn't seem to be a lot of information to go on so any tutorial info would be appreciated.
Thanks

if you are in transitions mode then select "single source" in transition combo to make source menu appear
You can also select shader as a "video effecté overlay and open the shader menu by clicking on the little gear right of "shader"
the tutorial is here : https://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/shadertoy.html

Have you read the manual?

I still can't see 'single source' to select it. In the video transitions dropdown menu the list includes shatter, slide, splodge etc but no 'single source'.

in video effect shaders is in Overlays section and Audio only section
in transition dropdown 'single source' have its own section and is single choice at bottom end, after the list of transitions
You may need to slide down depending on your screen resolution and transitions installed

Unless you use an old not updated skin which does not support these new selerction engine

sometimes it may appears some strange effects with strange settings after they are updated
you my try to temporary delete/move/rename your settings.xml file
in a way top start VDJ with default skin and default settings

Still can't work it out. I think i'll stay clear of the visual side of things in VD and stick to the music for now.
Thanks for your help.
