PFM Demo: Multi-Panel Layout.
This is a demo of one of my recent VDMX setups for a series at my church. Using VDMX 5 Beta 8.0.9.3. I run it on a 2011 MacBook Pro, with a Korg NanoKontrol2 and M-Audio XSession Pro.
After showing how my setup works, I detail a few key features of the layout. In particular, I provide tips for the use of Groups to allow for dynamic preview windows. I point out a shortcoming in the layer grouping feature and a workaround. Then, I show the use of the ControlSurface ColorWheel function, using it to drive particular filters. At the end, I suggest one of the best uses for ControlSurface Sliders.
If you have some better ways to do any of these approaches, leave them in the comments. Better yet, make your own video demonstrating it and share that on the forum!
NOTE: Visual lag in the image is a combination of Quicktime Screen recording, slight delay between screen recording and camera recording the projected wall, and jump-cuts in the edited video. The normal presentation is very smooth with low processor overhead.
