Is there a Color Picker in VDMX?

Is there the ability to use the system color picker to select a color from anywhere on the screen; including VDMX video windows? A common workflow for me in OBS is to load a clip, select the background color with the system color picker.

I note the System Color Picker because I use OBS on Mac and Win; and that is how it technically works. The other relevant point is that depending on how MacOS rendering/compositing works :man_shrugging: IDK if 1) you can “pop out” the system color picker. 2) I don’t know if the system color picker would have access to VDMX’s rendered video.

I would settle for a non-system level color picker; as I am happy loading clips (or sampling from shaders) from withing VDMX.

Hi @RootNotez What are you trying to use the color picker for? Some FX have color inputs where you can use a color picker, and same with certain ISF shaders.

Does this tutorial help?

Or this one?

Thank you, I found the Template called Chroma Key Example; in VDMX. This other links you provided were also helpful, thank you.

To set a solid color as a source

  • Add ISF Solid Color

  • You can adjust RGB values as sliders from on a 0-1 scale

  • If you want a color wheel:

  • Go to Workspace Inspector.

  • Add a Control Surface

  • Control Surface Options, color wheel

  • Click on the color swatch in the Solid Color Source

  • Go to UI Inspector

  • Plus button to add a … source paramater?

  • Select that Source Paramater

  • Click the drop down on the right.

  • Select the Control Surface you created

  • Use the control surface color wheel to change the color

Is that the VDMX suggested route to pick a color with a color wheel?

I don’t seem to see the ability to type in, say, a web hex color code?
