Video capability for Itch?

This probably has been talked about already on here but I couldn't find an open discussion. Has Serato considered Video Itch at all? I think this would be fun especially if you have an NS7. Any thoughts?

Yeah it will be called "Vitch".
Actually Serato hasn't specifically said that they are going to implement video, but the rumors are that Video might be in V2.0. The reason that rumor started was because in a previous thread, Serato specifically came out and said that a sampler would not be implemented in 2.0. There had been discussions about a sampler as well as video. At no point in the thread did Serato come out like they did with the sampler and say that video would not be in V2.0.
Hope that helps, and we will keep our fingers crossed.

You are right. I will give credit where credit is due. I did get that from another post. The opportunity to use it was too good to pass up.

I really hope we get video soon. I really don't wanna have to get VDJ just to do the videos. I would far rather give Serato my $300 than spend it on VDJ.

most of the music videos out there are crap. yea there are plenty of good ones, but I have yet to find a good source of quality videos.. that is why I have concentrated more on music alone.. =/...

i think if you are going to do video it should be more than just playing video juke box.... there are a lot more creative things to do with the combo of video and audio other than playing the video to a song which usally isnt as good as just listening to the song
czar

+1 I think that many videos undermine the music part of songs. Video feature should be very broad to be useful and desirable as to give Serato/Itch an edge. We all know what VDJ can do and There is more as well as plug in that could be added, new video effects/ video transitions, video sampling. It is not as simple as it sounds if Serato would really want to be noticed. =)

But if you really want to be creative with the video stuff (aka be a VJ) then you need totally different equipment than just a couple of decks with video playback abilities.

+1; I'm too narcissistic to do video. It's all about
me. Video, IMHO, tends to turn the dancefloor into zombies and kills the room's energy. I've not seen video useded that highlights DJs mixing abilities.

stupid f'ing apple ahhhhh why cant u be like normal people and put videos up on youtube. what a

yhe youyubes are filmed from the audience not the video screen so you really dont see the 'video mixing'
czar
4:49 PM - 28 February, 2010
no no i mean the actual video that requires the wonderful apple plug in or nothing. I mean why the guy didnt upload his video to youtube rather than use that plug in on his web site. I know its his choice but its a fail for me...

czar i know what you are asking it is just the youtubes are filmed from a distance so you cant see the screen....

^ Great mixing. Videos are distracting - I just don't see how the video integration makes a DJ "better" than one that doesn't have video. I'd prefer to have effect lighting.

lmao "I can make people stop dancing" hahahaha jokes aside videos are ok if used in moderation, sometimes I hear a song and think its super cool then I see the video for it and it terribly undermines the whole song so badly its a shame lol.

Video is just like anything. If used correctly it can bring a whole new element to a set. People aren't going to stop dancing just to watch a video if your set is tight. On the other hand, someone chilling of to the side may just lock into the screen to see what your doing. Either way the patron is entertained.
I love to hear other DJ's out, and have caught myself being sucked in by the videos.
