Suited for both hobby and professional use, COLORCODE VJ quickly turns your iPad into a VJ tool. At your home or at an event, it's never been easier to become a VJ! COLORCODE VJ can switch and display movies, images, and texts. You can also output to external displays via separately available adapters (*1). ***We stongly recommend to use with iPad2, because of the hardware limitations (lack of CPU power and available memory) of iPad1. It will be difficult to use comfortably with iPad1. =What you can do with COLORCODE VJ= - Load, mix, and output movie files. (You can display up to 2 movies simultaneously) - Overlay PNG image files. You can move the images by touching on the screen, or preset the movement in advance. PNG transparency is supported. - Display texts. Like images, texts can also be moved. - Play tracks in your Music library as BGM (*2). -The sound of video can be played now. - Output to external displays such as your TV, PC monitor, and projector. (*1) Works with most recent LCD TVs! - You can use a Internal Camera on iPad. =Recommended use= - As part of a full-fledged VJ equipment set. You can even get up on the stage with your iPad while VJing! - As a VJ tool for musicians. COLORCODE VJ offers musicians a quick way to play movies in addition to their instruments. Take control of both music and images to add depth to your expression! - As a party tool Simply hook up your iPad to a TV or monitor and start VJing! You can also show movies that were filmed with your iPad. A video slideshow? No problem! - As a presentation tool While there are many presentation tools for iPad, COLORCODE VJ may be the one for you when a simple slideshow just doesn't cut it. Tweak your presentation to match the atmosphere for a successful presentation! - As a simple digital signage Connect your iPad to a monitor and play movies for in-store promotions. =COLORCODE VJ Basics= - COLORCODE VJ has 2 modes of operation.

Absolutely not! COLORCODE VJ will work perfectly fine with just your iPad. It's a lot more fun with an external monitor though! - In iPad, since there are few memories and the capability of CPU is also low, the COLORCODEVJ cannot run comfortably. =Facebook page & Tutorial Videos= http://www.facebook.com/COLORCODEVJ http://www.youtube.com/user/ARTTeknika =Sample files= Movies and images provided with COLORCODE VJ are for use within the app only.

Please fix asap or please give refund ### 1/5 — I can’t load videos *2023-07-18* The program kicked me out whenever I try to load a video ### 1/5 — Needs update *2020-01-26* For this much you should have it working with custom pics and videos, please update—I requested a refund and I can’t get it so please either remove this from the store or maintain it properly. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-03-10, version 1.7.1* I’ve been using this app in many live theatre performances for many years now, full HD videos never crashed always working without any problems. Impressive ### 1/5 — What a let down *2014-11-08* I used to use this app every weekend and loved it now since I updated to ios8 I can't even do the basic functions like import my own videos. For a $24 app you need to keep up with Apple's updates. Now I can't even get a email returned from them. Please get this app back up and running correctly!!! ### 1/5 — too bad Zero stars are not available. *2013-11-03* worst app for VJing and visualizations period. Who ever has rated this 5 stars obviously has no experience using any actual VJ hardware or software. Lacks features needed by actual professional VJ and live video performance artists. TERRIBLE. ### 4/5 — Very useful utility vj app *2013-10-13* Have used in live settings and in a pinch could be all I need to work a vj gig. Have never had the app crash on me. And if I load all videos as m4v, I have room more hours of footage than I have ever needed. That said I like to use the mixer cross fader as a compositional tool not just a way to segue between clips. So one option I would LOVE to see would be to switch the cross fader from a straight dissolve to something more like a tolerance level adjuster on a luma or color key. Even without the option for any real effects I think an option like this would put them miles ahead of all other available VJ apps. That said I thoroughly enjoy this app and have found it immensely useful. ### 3/5 — iPad1 user *2013-09-01* Amazing that it runs on iPad1 but it's annoying that Output Size: Fill Screen doesn't actually fill the screen. Going fullscreen in the Apple Videos player doesn't leave any borders so it's technically possible. Maybe someday we'll get an update. ### 5/5 — A Real VJ *2013-07-19* Very cool! Easy to learn, easy to work. Great to use with my own content. ### 5/5 — Used it for well over a year, love it, use it in front of live audiences. *2013-06-19* I felt compelled to rate this product as I don't think it deserves the few stars it has. I use this in a live band setting. I find its very responsive. I've yet to have any performance issues while playing back at any resolution. Yea, I struggled to figure out how to load things but that's the crazy I tunes iOS interface not the app. Just load a usb stick with your video to your pc itunes device. Go to the ipad selection on the left, load it, and look for the apps tab. Go to colorcode and just import from the usb stick. once its linked to itunes colorcode will allow you to add it. i use it on a gen 2 iPad and a new gen ipad one. (Never tried a mini) Only thing I would like to see is the ability to tell the thumb icon what image to use. The app seems just slightly off of what the windows media player or Corel video studio pro system uses so if you have long fade ins of 5-6 seconds it usually just shows a black screen on the thumb. ## Frequently asked questions about COLORCODE VJ ### What can COLORCODE VJ do?
