when I choose an image for the background, when I export the skin, the image is not seen ..
Is it a mistake or am I wrong?

Thanks djdad

The texts should be entered in the TEXT->Simple Text field (e.g. 1,2,3 etc - without quotes). If the TEXT->VDJ Action field is used then it will prefer the action and probably display ?? if incorrect.
If you still have troubles, save your project and email me the file


Ok cool, I probably entered it in the wrong spot then, Thanks for the info and time...

Acknowledged. Will be fixed in next release
 
One last thing: I noticed a high use of cpu but only if I use a background image.
It's normal?
Thanks.

Showing dummies like myself how to use it...
Like actually building a skin while explaining the process.
Cause lost soon as I open it.

Tutorial Please
 
um.. clicking Help isn't doing anything. is this a known issue?
 
For those who experience random crashes , mostly when adding/selecting multiple elements, try to set the Skin Creator exe to Windows 8 Compatibility mode.
Right-click on the Desktop icon-->properties



Not sure why, but with the above setting/mode enabled, i no longer get crashes. Will investigate further.

FYI, i am on severe code changes, implementing skins importing, so the next release may be delayed, but good things will come. Stay tuned.
Thanks for your feedback.
 
Awesome! Will definitely let you know how it goes.
 
Awesome! I just downloaded to tinker with getting a remote request station screen for Karaoke made. I will post any feed back I have on the Beta.
 
Hi, I've seen that the Karaoke Venue is now exposed as a VDJScript item.

-karaoke_venue_name vdjscript added
I've on VDJ Build 4537 and I'm still struggling on how to show this on my Karaoke skin.
https://www.virtualdj.com/products/virtualdj/changelog.html?view=advanced

I've taken to editing the XML by hand whilst I experiment, but I really can't get anything to show.
I think this should work, but it's not:

action="get_text ' karaoke_venue_name '"
 
For some reason I can’t get it to load. Or I can’t find Skin Creator after I load it. Where is it suppose to be?
 
Updates?

Did you install it ? If so, it should create a Skin Creator icon on your Desktop. If not there, check at /ProgramFiles(x86)/Skin Creator folder

Not yet. Will need a couple of months. Severe code changes to be able to import a VDJ skin
 
If I read this correct at the moment the skin creator is unable to import existing skins . I have a skin that all the graphics has been done . Can I import a graphics file and start coding ? And if so what is the best format to save graphics what is the new skin engine better with as in the olden days I used BMP
 
With VDJ 8 the preferred format (ahem) is PNG.
 
Indeed png, since it is a bit smaller than bmp, and properly supports transparency, which is much easier instead of using masks like vdj 7.

thank you for your help. Does the png file stay as one file or is it broken into smaller files ? Is the file built the same way as it was back with six and seven . Probably wrong place to ask this question As trying to get my head round the new skin engine A lot has changed in 10 years .
 
You should spend some time reading the skin pages in the wiki...

Also download some VDJ 8 skins and have a look at the PNG and XML to see how it's done.

The old way was to draw two whole skin graphics, one for off and one for on, with all the elements in position. With VDJ 8 the individual elements are placed on top of the background separately, which allows for them to be repositioned far more easily for different layouts.

The skin V8 but by FRUiT is one of the more "code heavy" skins that allows the user to turn on/off the display of almost every element on screen.
 
how do you wrap the EQ around images like in video skin wrapped around jog wheels

also is there a way to make an Image beat to the music like the BOOM effect to videos but I want a skin or whatever you call it as a visual to beat on top of everything on the video output
 
Hello, excellent tool, very intuitive and powerful, how do I place classic rhithm or style waveform ... Thank you and sorry for my English
