Effects:

Effects are used to alter clips in various ways. NuVJ provides a
wide collection of effects sorted in different categories. They are
listed in the second tab of the browser section on the leftmost
side of the interface. Effects can either be applied on cells to
alter individual clips or on the master output to alter the result
of the mixing. Note that depending on the capacity of your
video hardware, not all effects might be available as some
require high end video hardware to work.

Sources:

Sources are like clips except they are not related to files on the
hard drive. The sources are listed in the third tab of the
browser section on the leftmost side of the interface. Sources
are divided in three main categories: live inputs, generators,
and texts. Live inputs collect all available camera inputs on the
system. Using these, you can feed NuVJ directly with USB or
Firewire web cams, DV cams, acquisition boards, and other
video devices. The Inputs category shows all live inputs
recognized by the system. Generators are elements that
automatically generate patterns using internal effects processing and the signal from the audio input, much
like the visualization modules from iTunes or Windows Media Player. To assign a source to a cell, simply
drag and drop it onto the desired cell. The third categorie, 'texts' contain special files that can be used to
dispay text for presentation, announcement and so on.
USING AUDIO INPUT:
NuVJ allows you to synchronize your video clips and performance to signal from your audio input. To
make use of this feature, please connect an audio source to the line-level input on your computer's
soundcard. You will need to make sure that the line input is selected as an input source.
PC: Please go to My Computer -> Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Device Properties, click on the
Audio tab and then click on Advanced – this will pull up the Volume Control panel. Click on Options -
> Properties -> Recording – this allows you to view the recording input sources. Please make sure
that Line In is checked and that the volume slider is up.
To be able to hear the audio input through your computer's soundcard, you will need to go back to
Options -> Properties -> Playback and make sure that Line In is not muted and that the volume slider
is up.
On some soundcards, you can select the output of the card as recording device. It is generally found
in the recording sources as 'Stereo mix'. If your card has such a channel, selecting it will allow you to
directly synchronize NuVJ to the audio playing on the same PC.
MAC: Please go to Finder -> Applications -> System Preferences, and click on the Sound icon. Select
Input to view the available input sources. Select the device that you would like to use as the input
device – once this device is selected, NuVJ will synchronize its session BPM to this device.

The visual library:

The visual library is a convenient way to find clips that are
already loaded in the application. Once a clip is loaded in NuVJ,
it will become available in the visual library and can be accessed
at any time during your session. The library is located on the
fourth tab of the browser section. You can directly drag and drop
visuals from the library onto the cells without having to search
for them again on your hard drive.

Banks:

Banks are collections of nine cells. There is always
one bank selected on each deck. The current bank
number is displayed
underneath the deck preview window.
change banks at any time by pressing the up and
down arrows, or by rotating the BANK knob on the
controller. Using banks, you can organize your
clips according to themes, mood, or type of
sequences.
