Video Mixing Resources

Hey all, I did a search and didn't come up with anything on it...

I recently had the opportunity to use Pioneer DVJ's at a local club here and the owner wants some new DJ's that know how to use the equipment. Since it's fairly new to me and the owner is letting me come in whenever I want in the afternoons to use his equipment I had some questions..

-Is there a place to get good videos for electronic music?
-If i want to make my own videos, where would I get clips?
-What's a good program to use? (I had in mind Adobe Audition or Sony Vegas?)

The owner has lots of top40, rock, and rap/hip-hop music videos but none for EDM. Any other help would be appreciated! This is a really awesome opprtunity for me so thanks in advance.

Pioneer provides a ton of free loops to use. This should at least get you started:

I never understood...what is a DVJ? Do they mix videos or something?

Does the dancefloor watch a set of movies???

Here is the DVJ Ill be working with

http://cachepe.zzounds.com/media/qu...43c29980f4a.jpg

basically it runs just like a CDJ-1000MK3 except it plays DVD music video's. Or if you want you can DJ just the video and mix the music with the video from another source or just DJ music without the video.

Resolume sell video sample packs.

Sorry I worded the question wrong, I know the equipment, but what do the actual VDJs do?, Does the daancefloor watch an 8 hour marathon set of movie clips?

Sortof, The video is mostly supposed to be a supplement to the music.

Well it doesn't fade between the video's you control the source separately. So it's not like if your fader is halfway then you see half of one video and half of the other. There may be a way to do that but I don't know about it

THESE are a great set of 79 clips free from Analog Recycling.

Here is part two


Try searching the internet archive (archive.org) for some more amazing and free VJ clips I use these all the time in my sets

is there even a video mixer at this local club or not?

and do they have a pair of DVJs?

A pair of DVJ X1's the pioneer A/B button thing that chooses the source video, and the 3 screen monitor, They are working on getting a program called Live DJ also.

Actually I meant Adobe Premier since it does video, unless Audition does more than audio.
