Discussion about Moving logos
Inviato Wed 22 Sep 21 @ 8:29 pm
In a way to use it with another logo, you need to edit and add your personal logo image
(was not one of my fixed logo as plugin image, but animated Gif. Seems supported only for transitions)
there are 3 different moving skins
They need to activate (demo) / setup using Video menu in skin video -> video options
can control from custom script when not "activated"
Flying logos : 2 logos you can position dynamically on screen
examples in video menu (fixed or moving)
For scripting : use variables
$logo_H $logo_V $logo_H1$logo_V1 : horizontal and vertical positions for eboth logos respectively
$logo_Beats : (bool) make logos (or text when still) flash with beats
$logo_Hour : (bool) display hour over logo if no text
$logo_Txt : text to display over logo
Rotating logo : custom logo rotating
standard positions are taken from settings or menu video options
as well as rotation direction (CW CCW)
For scripting : variables
$logodir : (bool) rotation direction
positions are standard setting
VScroll : make big (or not so big) multi-line comments cross the screen vertically
They need to activated using Video menu in skin video -> video options
it will only make the comment field from new playing track appear from bottom and slowly cross the screen
For scripting : variables
$comment_H : ^^ strangely (why not H for vertical ?) it controls vertical position of comment
need skin to be selected but not activated in a way to be useable

Example code : 2 logos rotating all around the screen (1920×1080) in opposite direction
Note the strange code parts:
set $logo_V `param_multiply 'get_var $logo_H' 0,0001 & param_add 1080`
set $logo_H `param_multiply 'get_var $logo_V' 0,0001`
and alike
These are workarounds needed to force 2D to refresh in realtime because they only refresh when V and H were both modified.
They globally modify slider values in a way not to modify position on screen (less one pixel)
setting videoSkin "Moving_logoV2:Flying logos" & setting useVideoSkin on &
repeat_stop px & set $logo_H 0 & set $logo_V 1080 &
repeat_start px 10ms -1 & deck active set $logo_H1 $logo_H & set $logo_V1 $logo_V &
param_multiply get_rotation 4 & param_cast &
param_greater 3 ? param_add -3 & param_multiply -1920 & param_add 1920 & param_cast & set $logo_H & set $logo_V `param_multiply 'get_var $logo_H1' 0,0001` :
param_greater 2 ? param_add -1 & param_multiply -1080 & param_add 2160 & param_cast & set $logo_V & set $logo_H `param_multiply 'get_var $logo_V' 0,0001 & param_add 1920` :

hi nicotux, please give detailed examples of how to use your logos
Inviato Thu 23 Sep 21 @ 9:20 am
1) Edit skin Moving_lodoV2
2) Put your logo by replacing MyLogo.png as a 600x480 image (hardcoded size)
3) Select the videoSkin you want under setting - options video -> videoSkin -> "Moving_lodoV2 (edit)"
or from settings -> interface -> video Skin -> 'Moving_LogoV2 (edit)'
or by script "setting videoSkin Moving_logoV2/:*" where * can currently be Flying logos or Rotating logo or VScroll
Using the edited one is important for your logo to be selected
4) right click main video preview and navigate 'Video Skin Options' menu
5) select "activate" to make it live (for a demo in 'Flying logos' )
- "Rotating logo must start to rotate your own logo at position specified in settings
- "Flying logos" may display your logo twice somewhere on screen
playing a track makes them move
- VScroll is waiting for a track to start playing and will scroll Comment field from bottom to top
for scripters:
You can define your own logo movements by setting variables
both "$logo_H" and "$logo_V" and both "$logo_H1" and "$logo_V1" have to be set simultaneously in a way to see the position on screen (current limitation in 2D sliders)
displacement are reversed horizontally H and H1
You can script like in previous post and create a pad with sets of movements

JUST NOTICE in example code please read 'setting videoSkin "Moving_logoV2/:Flying logos"'
(the slash bar is NEEDED in a way to use custom logo... unless it's me ^^)
I use a rs loop in script for live movements
fixed positions does not need a loop
just setting variables is enough
