The labels shouls make videos available in different versions. with skits, without skits, instrumental and accapellas somewhat similar to how vynal was back in the days. Record lables are not understanding the needs of us VJ's..We should write to all the labels and let them know.

Yeah it does but then it cuts back into peaches and cream
djrayray0981 10:37 PM - 6 July, 2009
Been looking for those two vids individually. Is their a greatest hits video for 112? probably not, I'm sure I would of already seen it by now.
djpuma_gemini 11:18 PM - 6 July, 2009
I just made those two edits, I just cut out the dance with me and made sure everthing synced up ok.
djrayray0981 11:24 PM - 6 July, 2009
Did they come out with a video DVD? or was the the P.O that you cut up?
djpuma_gemini 11:34 PM - 6 July, 2009
PO. But I had the dance with me video as well. I didn't just make two out of the peaches video.
djrayray0981 11:43 PM - 6 July, 2009
Good looking out. Going to have to download the video again. I had it at one point before my computer crashed. But never used it because of the breaks. Now that I know how to do my own edits. i can do the same.
djpuma_gemini 12:13 AM - 7 July, 2009
Jump to cue points work too.
DJ d.range 1:32 AM - 7 July, 2009
you know what? the splyce/bridge feature thats being mentioned in featue suggestiond would be perfect for this!
I'm gonna reference this thread there too =)

Mo Money, Mo Problems...I only manage to play one chorus and verse before the most annoying Golf Game Skit ...I keep forgetting to edit that vid...
djchrischip 8:08 AM - 10 July, 2009
they have an edited version on either smashvidz or 8th wonder or one of those sites
SimoneRainer 8:10 AM - 10 July, 2009
No worries, I'll do it myself!!!
dj_paulsmooth 7:32 PM - 14 July, 2009
not sure if this pertains but here goes...
jennifer hudson - spotlight (first 8 bars of song has her talking on the phone) ----> i replaced the audio with cd... good to go now
dj_paulsmooth 7:41 PM - 14 July, 2009
akon - i'm so paid (quick 4-bar break after 2nd chorus has screeching car chase scene)

quick question.... would extra long skit intros qualify for this thread??
djpuma_gemini 8:17 PM - 14 July, 2009
Intros not necessarily, unless for some strange reason you start mixing in on a skit, but why?

Skits between verses yes definitely.
dj hes 9:36 PM - 14 July, 2009

Pussycat Dolls - When I Grow Up

Has some kind of dance number towards the end which lasts 30 seconds or so. Setting up a cue point is easy enough but what happens if you're not paying attention cuz someone is talking to you. Need to learn how to splice videos.

Great thread BTW!!
DJ DisGrace 6:39 PM - 16 July, 2009
Justin Timberlake - Rock Your Body

Just him beatboxing and dancing, which isn't too bad - Girls seem to like it anyway.
More of a heads up if you're expecting the album version

Mishev 4:19 PM - 24 July, 2009

Five from the 80's:

'Til Tuesday "Voices Carry" (loud dialog over the music);

Pat Benetar "Love Is A Battlefield" (dialog and SFX over music, and some annoying level changes);

Janet Jackson "When I Think Of You" (loud dialog and SFX over the music);

Janet Jackson "Control" (loud crowd noises through pretty much the whole song);

Duran Duran "A View To A Kill" (very loud SFX over the music in a few places).
jbunks 10:56 PM - 20 August, 2009
I was talking with David (Promo Only UK rep) about this today. Suggested they produce a disc with edited versions of known tracks which have breaks in them. I'll pass this link on!
Joshua Carl 7:17 PM - 25 August, 2009
well, you dont have to worry about MO MONEY MO PROBLEMS any more

:)

msg me for the link, i would never think of posting it publicly.

I was just so sick of be strangled by those skits, I had to make my own!

I've been using cuepoints to jump over skits, including those on "Mo Money Mo Problems"...seems to work fine. At least one of the video services has pre-edited versions of that song.

I thought I was going to be able to do that. But, after a while, I got tired of it. Plus on some, you can't really jump on the break as they have some weird talking, or it's not on beat, or whatever. Then, with new versions of SSL that go crazy and your cues get deleted... another nightmare.

Editing is best.
FunkyRob 5:06 AM - 27 August, 2009
I just got my Videotraxx Classic #57 in the mail today.

All Michael Jackson videos, and so far they all got skits, sound effects, or screaming fans in a concert environment.

it would have to be a re0mux though..

the whole video has the "city sounds" in it.

great vid though, pretty sure spike jonze did it.

on the daft dvd each song have 4 mixes of it.
its a great buy

I played this wednesday and the chicks don't like when dudes are rapping over a song they sing to. Just like 112 - dance with me.

I need to redo my edit and remove beanie sigel from it.

Lady Gaga's Telephone is a skit disaster. Great video to watch but you would get shot if you played it straight through in the clubs.

Add Huey - "Pop, Lock It, Drop It" to the list. That shit just killed the vibe this weekend. The kids all stopped and looked at me like I through on some Richard Marx - "Right Here Waiting" or something.
djpuma_gemini 10:45 PM - 15 March, 2010
they probably thought, "why is he playing this shit."

j/k

Also I haven't realized that the song is from 2003 - oooold and I still play it.

FunkyRob 7:02 PM - 26 March, 2010
I'm doing some cleanup right now and realized I have a 5:15 version of Forgot About Dre by Dr. Dre & Eminem.

at first I was wondering why it was so long, then I realized there's tons of skits in between and then a short clip of a completely different song at the end.

Funny thing is there's no chyrons and I can't remember where I got it from.
DJ BENTHERE 2:35 PM - 19 May, 2010
Janet Jackson's "That's The Way Love Goes" has an unexpected breakshortly after the very beginning of the song and then comes back in a few seconds later and good for the rest. (See a very young J-Lo laying on the couch too!!!!)

When I heard the kick on that track, my first thought was that the producers had been listening to early-90's techno.

Breaking out some old plus-8 records to clean the Drake out of my ears...
FunkyRob 1:22 AM - 6 June, 2010
Not really a skit, but I just ripped Pee Wee's Dance by Joeski Love off the Videotraxx Classic April disc. (which by the way is the only decent track out of the 25 on the DVD)

There's annoying dialogue that goes on top of the music intro at the beginning. I can't do a simple demux because the audio is shorter than the 12" version I have from my vinyl.

Dammit, Dammit, Dammit!
