EFFECTS

VirtualDJ features a comprehensive set of audio and video effects and transitions which can
be accessed by clicking the “Effects” tab on the lower window. The effect s list is displayed on
the left side of the window and each of these effects can be activated for both decks. Multiple
effects, both audio and video; can be applied.

To use an effect, select the effect and activate it on whichever deck the effect should be
applied. This is done by clicking on one of the two “Activate” buttons in the middle panel of the
window. The bu tton will light up showing activated. Deactivate the effect by clicking on the
“A ctivate” button again.

The parameters for the selected effect are displ ayed on the right panel of the window. The
p arameters will change depending on which effect is selected. Adjust the parameters by
m oving the faders of the associated parameters.

Effects can also be used from the effects panel on the deck contro ls.
Different effects can be selected using the pop-up menu. Enable and disable
effects by clicking on the displayed effect title. If using the effects panel on
th e deck control, multiple effects can not be activated for that deck – this
p anel only allows activation of one effect at a time.

VIDEO

a
In ddition to mixing traditional audio, VirtualDJ m akes it possible to mix video content with the
eas e and familiarity of a DJ interface. Instead of audio f iles (.mp3, .wma, .m4a, etc.), video files
(.av i, .mpg, .wmv, .vob, etc.) can be played. VirtualDJ’s interfa ce provides all the same
fe ures to mix, scratch, effect, and transition video content, just as w ith audio content.

Video files are distinguished in the Browser with a small, blue “V” on their icon and can be
load ed to either deck. When playing a video file, a video window will open in VirtualDJ.
