That is easy, you just place a Quad over your video with a group node. Now you give the Quad a 70% Alpha with the SetAlpha node, and make the color blue.

thank you west.
I have got another question.
I want some text over the blue quadrat layer which is in front of the video.
It doesn’t work with text gdi…
would be nice if you / or any otherone think(s) about it.
Text GDI is for a (CPU based) GDI renderer, so that doesn’t work.
You can either use Electromeiers module for Dynamic text (can’t find a link atm)
Or play arround with the Text (EX9.geometry), connect that node to something than can show meshes, like Constant (EX9.effect).
I have a decent textscroller here some where… need to clean it and up it to my wiki some day (NOT today ;) ).
Check this posts that is made before for some help:
about boundingbox
if the text is white u can use the GDItexture node to transform the GDI renderer to a texture and then choose ADDitive with blend.
see patch

Wow!! U7, I re-learned a new trick today!!
I remembered trying something simulair, but since I wasn’t able to get some alpha info from the GDI, (wanted to save it as a .PNG) I dropped that idea… but this is rather COOL! :)
trick ? come on west, u 're a pro, u should know that ;)
hey fine, thnx.
but I need a yellow text. so I can’t use the trick for this project.
I was just searching for the dynamic text modul from electromeier… can’t find it???
if anybody has it or knows the link, please tell me.
here it is:

this one works only with monospaced fonts at the moment. im still missing that integral node with bin size inlet… maybe in the next vvvv version?
i did a version which allows carriage returns in each slice but its not cleaned up yet.
…
so well, maybe I’m so fucking stupid, but all the answeres you gave me do not work.
so i just want :
layer 1: Video
layer 2: blue quadrat
layer 3: text
an this all in one renderer.
it sounds simple- but is it??
or is vvvv the wrong programm for this?
maybe you should specify what exactly doesnt work? or post just post an examplepatch…
if you just need a type you can also use the built in text (text (ex9.geometry) node… which is easier to handle (just select ttf font). but it isnt spreadable…
so there is a file.
maybe it’s easier to understandt know.
just some text over the blue layer. (but not white text, colored text)

Ehh… I think you missed the HERR INSPECTOR when following your tutorials ;) Also follow the other tutorial, so you get an idea how the transform node works.
I attached a patch, and only thing you have to do is change the GROUP node with HERR INSPECTOR, add 1 pin and connect the constant.

hey west.
first of all. thank you.
I was just wondering what went wrong.
I followed your instructions. but…
just have a look at it please. its just like nothing.

don’t save a patch when in fullscreen mode, thats always a bad thing to do. might be the reason why it isnt working.
so here comes a patch which works
