Hi everyone! newbie to forum

Hi everyone!

Im a newbie in the forum, also newbie to video and the vj universe. I feel very raw and a little overwhelmed by all the information ahead of me in order to be a killer vj. I have been checking the forum since some days now and Im super excited to join. I have find a lot of good and useful information.

My equipment for now its a macbook 2006, modul8, and a sony minidv camara. I have been playing with modul8, I have read the manual, it has been very hard for me since Im completely new to anything related to video so there are a lot of technical terminology which I always research about, still, its getting a little tedious having to search word by word. So here is my question:

Is there any complete online source about video that might be helpful for me to understand and obtain good bases?
also...any advice?

Cheers!

FuXia

Thank you andyvj
U are right, I should give another check to the modul8 site.
Still, I am wondering if there are good sites regarding video in general (codecs, outputs, inputs, etc...)

the first 12 months of vjing can be an overwhelming learning curve.


imo they key is just focus on what looks good instead of getting in a tangle with to much equipment and production.


i think some of the best earl video i made was playing with vhs tapes and my v4 ..
