and Quartz Composer. http://developer.apple.com/graphicsimaging/quartz/quartzcomposer.html (also has its own page already too).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Djrug (talk • contribs) 05:02, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I don't believe the tag on the article which says "The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter." is required.  The opening is perfectly understandable. Falcolombardi87 18:58, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just been through it and it is fine. I've expanded it slightly but it was good enough before to remove the tag. In case it isn't I've laft it there and another editor can make the final call on that one. (Emperor 20:55, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Context

message: (please sign your comments or it makes the discussion hard to follow)
I don't think the "top 20" notable VJs is appropriate. It was done in a London magazine and do not reflect the reality that is why I removed it. There a lot of notable VJs not mentioned here, this is not a British review!
i disagree with the above statement - DJ magazine is an internationaly avaiable magasine which is widely read. whilst it is debatable if the VJs listed in their top 20 are the "best" they are internationaly regarded VJs and as such are a good start for a list of notable VJs. other similar sections of the wikipedia contain lists of notable practitioners so i feel it is appropriate for the VJ section to also contain such a section. i'm not going to reinsert it yet as i feel we should have more consensus on this but imho a notable VJs section is a usefull addition to the VJ entry.

thread_title: notable VJs

message: Deleted the entire paragraph referenced in this section and reproduced below during wikisprint because could not find anywhere any citations or sources, only found either the entire paragraph, or pieces of it, verbatim on various sites, but never any citations or sources.  We all discussed and agreed most of it fell into the anecdotal realm, especially the first sentence regarding the check and also the part regarding "...using the first video synthesizer in the late 70s..." Wasn't clear if author meant the first synth was made in late 70s, which would have been inaccurate, or if author first used the synth (which one?) in the late 70's.  Here is a copy of the paragraph removed:
"The first written use of the word "video jockey" was used on the paycheck of Merrill Aldighieri in May 1980. She had been improvising live interpretations of the DJ music 8 hours per night for several weeks in an experiment to create a visual component to the music and lightshows in the club, using the newly installed video system which had TV monitors throughout the club hanging from the ceiling. Her studies in film  with such innovators in animation and sound as Stan Brackage and Michael Snow, and her apprenticeship at Rhombex Studios in NYC using the first video synthesizer in the late 70s prepared her for this natural evolution of art and technology. She continued VJing in several nightclubs in NYC through the 80ies and then became active in producing finished music video oriented programs for Sony, MTV, and experimental films and animations for PBS. She occasionally tours with highlights from her archives and continues to experiment in multi-media production."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Roguewaves (talk • contribs) 10:33, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Maybe it would be a good idea to make a comment about how the European demo scene has highly influenced VJ software. Aestesis, Motion Dive and Moonster have been written by old demomakers  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.17.131.25 (talk) 00:18, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Demo Scene

message: Are those "definitions" in the first segment there for any reason except self-advertisement (each is followed by a BIG LINK IN CAPITAL LETTERS...) And some don't make much sense... Quote: "VJ allows audio visual artists to research and resample mainstream audio visual culture." Uhh, the VJ allows artists to research? Is he a sheriff of the visual arts? Or is VJ a corporation?? Or a military organisation ("Vojska Jugoslavije")? Quite confusing... ;) --Irina666 (talk) 23:56, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Definitions or advertisement?

message: A group of editors is currently trying to improve this article (wikipedians Anaoak, Axelator, Carriegates, Kenfeinstein, Roguewaves, Sleepytom and myself). We are wondering if the title shouldn't be changed into VJing, or maybe VJing (live visual performance). 
Arguments pro: 
* If you read through the article, you will notice that it describes the artform of VJing, rather than the person (the VJ) practicing this artform. The same is the case for articles such as video art, installation art, architecture, design, sculpture, electronic art...
* If you check the What links here page, you will notice that most of these articles use the word "VJing", "VJ-ing", or "VJ art", rather than "VJ", to link to this page.
:* In other languages the page can also become VJing as this is a multilingual and international designation for the practice.
* VJ is an independent practice and not directly related to DJ.
* The page is about the practice of VJing and not the practitioner, the VJ. This is applicable to any other area of work wether this is within an artistic context or any other context. For example we refer to medicine to describe what it is (as well as its many branches) and not the the doctor as the one who practices. Anaoak (talk) 16:37, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed name change of the article 

message: In the 2000s section the article reads: "Compared to the ~640x480i fixed format of NTSC/PAL, a contemporary laptop using DVI can output a great variety of resolutions up to ~2500px wide, and in conjunction with the Matrox TripleHead2Go can feed three different displays with an image coordinated across them all."
It's irritating that only one particular graphics card (Matrox TripleHead2Go) is mentioned here, but without some expert knowledge about the VJ scene it's hard to tell if this is advertisement or if this model became popular enough at some point to be relevant. Either way, technology has moved on and so the facts should be updated to reflect that. For example, there is AMD's EyeFinity technology which allows to feed 6 displays with just one gpu (at a total max resolution of 7680x3200). DisplayPort 1.3 is supposed to support '8k' resolutions up to 8192×4320. On the other hand the computational power required to render graphics in such high resolutions at acceptable framerates is a limiting factor, at least at the current date. 88.152.59.11 (talk) 12:44, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: there is absolutely no way on Earth that this is the correct title.  I mean I get that perhaps the letters V.J. could stand for other things, so that the correct title could be "veejay" or "VJ (visual jockey)" or any number of other examples.
But there is absolutely no way that VJing can be the correct title (even if that is the correct spelling) any more than KJing or DJing can be the correct headwords for those two articles.  Which they're not.
It's just not how an encyclopedia works.  This should redirect to "VJ" or "veejay" 2A02:AB88:24C1:1680:DDEC:FEC2:C0CE:9B63 (talk) 00:33, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

message: Should this article be merged with Video jockey? So it's more in line with Disc jockey. -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:14, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge? 

message: Would someone be able to help to edit a section on VJing page for these documentaries, A.Visualist and Visualist-Those Who See Beyond documentary's section. And also create a page title for the documentaries on the same page VJ Documentary or Visualist? I think it should just be the latter.
I can begin by adding external links to the VJing Page first. Uc77simppl (talk) 15:08, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
