Why does it not show VDJ 8 in my account available for download? It shows 7.4.1.

Thanks Dan,
I got it :)
Now for the real questions....
There is no longer Clipbank in the Video EFX
Also I can no longer use the SBDJ Camera Plugin for external live video feeds
I use both of these quite extensively.

Settings, no
It converts the V7 db on a new V8 format though...

Its all new in V8. Your database will be read in V8 and converted but the original V7 settings and database files remain untouched.
This means you can continue to use V7 whilst testing version 8.

Clipbank is replaced by the Sampler.
The sampler is now capable of playing Audio, Video and Still Images.
Many plugins need to be re-worked for Version 8. These will come in time.

So, just to confirm... do I have to do anything special to install this on my gig laptop and not mess up my copy of version 7? Both programs will sit side by side and not mess anything up, and version 7 database will remain preserved? I'm eager to give it a try!

Yep you should be good.
If you are worried and as this is you gig machine. It might be best to do a database backup (just in case).
But i have both running with no issues.

Great stuff, that's all the reassurance I needed! OK then, time to have a long read of the new manual, and install and play. Not necessarily in that order though... ;)

Dan, can you set the video sampler to auto engage when you don't have video content loaded in the deck? So like 7 when I play an audio only track it automatically plays my vide clip?
SBDJ when you are almost ready. I'll test on the 2011 MBPs with the ATI cards for you. I remember you had to rework the plugin because of open gli crashes on my ATI cards.

Not currently, but a plugin can be made to do this. Hopefully someone might have something soon. It was raised during Beta.

I hope so too. I use this feature all the time since I am 90% video.

Very disappointed with the current video features in vdj8 then. Why would they remove such a valuable feature for vjs. You always want something on the screens. Now it shows nothing. This was a built in standard option on 7. Also I use it to show the bride and grooms photo montage slideshow during dinner looping for an hour. Constantly having something on the screens is paramount for vjs.

yup that's why I love essential visuals & Media, I use the crap out of those plugins, hope they will rework these for vdj8 soon so I can start using it...

Open config -> options -> select advanced -> search 'iTunes'
Ensure that the correct database is being pointed to in iTunesDatabaseFile
