I have two issues:
1. Video sl (1.2) is not playing/supporting my .avi files/videos. How can this be corrected?
2. How do I change the crossfader speed on computer (I currently do not have a midi controller or Rane mixer) to be able to transition between videos quicker.

Hi mate

after taking someones advice on here i installed perian which is a driver that has lots of codecs in

perian.org

secondly as for the auto cross fade on the curser keys

make sure in the main set up / plug ins / video-sl has the use curser keys box ticked

then open video sl.

and open its setup boxes. click control and in the left of that box u will see a rotary knob which is the control speed for the auto crossfader. the more left it is the quicker the cross fade

have fun

Hi totallive,

There is an FAQ in the support area which details Video-SL supported containers and codecs.
Here: serato.com

phil F has detailed the crossfader control setting for you :)

As far as sourcing video content you will find a number of useful sites in the Video-SL General Discussion area.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
