Anyone got any complicated scripts running well and want to share. Its a bit hard to get your head around doing something complicated using the single action script examples on the wiki.
A tip for new players: The other difficulty I had is you have to use & and other long versions for characters if you're writing them manually (not using vdj mapper screen). VDJ automatically converts these for you if you use the mapper screen, if not you'll need to figure out what the conversion is.
ie this action (selects video effect and turns it on) will work if you type it in vdj...
video_fx_select RandomVideoTransition & video_fx
If you type it manually it has to be...
"video_fx_select RandomVideoTransition & video_fx"
or it dont work.
Likewise an window select action (this one opens the effects windows) in vdj...
page 'effects'
becomes
"page "effects""
This might save someone else a little time figuring out why things wont work as expected.
Share your action scripts guys - got anything fun working?

Just got this working - used to talking to myself - haha. Modified the device map so my slider is setup as a series of 8 buttons with values. Then setup scripts to clear and then select and finally activate various video effects. Now I just move my slider up and down to select different video effects that are immediately applied to the output video. This really pushes VDJ out way ahead of the competition. No longer at the mercy of other peoples ideas on how things should work. Well Done Guys!!!
