Serato Video General Discussion

Talk about Serato Video and Video-SL.

2nd Annual Video DJ Conference

DJMisterE 6:43 PM - 30 January, 2012
So I thought I would start up a discussion about the upcoming VDJC2 in Las Vegas this Fall.

I'm interested to inquire what topics should be brought to my attention to have covered at the discussion panels. What feedback you might want to share about your past experience. Good or bad I welcome it all.

I've also set up a facebook page for updates and press releases for the conference www.fb.com

Please post all your wonderful opinions here and let's see what the video DJs of the world have to say about the single largest gathering of members in our field.
SiRocket 6:55 PM - 30 January, 2012
Ill make this one.
djpuma_gemini 7:01 PM - 30 January, 2012
GOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dpetree 7:01 PM - 30 January, 2012
The first one was great.

I cannot wait for this one. Its gonna be bigger and better. Its a great show to go to not only to learn about VideoDJ'n but to also meet n greet everyone and really get some good insight on how to make your video show even better.

This one is going to be great. Booking my airfare now
tomatoslice 7:02 PM - 30 January, 2012
i would like to see in depth tutorials/seminars on 2 things.
1) quartz files
2) syphon

a syllabus and information as to who would lead them and what app, programs, comps, thrid party devices they will be using beforehand would be great.
Danny-Boi 7:38 PM - 30 January, 2012
Im waiting till the 3rd-4th conference. Ya gotta work out the bugs first. Id pay $500 a ticket if I actually learned something. Last years was ok being that it was the first. I just wish there was more organization involved. The majority of my friends thought it was a waste of time and money and was more of a way to get all of the SV hommies some exposure in Vegas. Great idea but all I got out of it was some cool pics, networking and a hangover. Lol. More vendors and some more clinics that actually teach. A video DJ battle would have been cool to see.
phatbob 7:40 PM - 30 January, 2012
Just excitedly checked flight prices from the UK... and... I shan't be joining you. Ouch!

Wondering about a European spin-off... Any other Euro peeps keen?
DJMisterE 7:45 PM - 30 January, 2012
Danny-Boi thanks again for your always wonderful insight that you aren't afraid to hold back. It really does help more than hurt. Everything that you mentioned is pretty much already planned and in the works for this year as I stated in a chat room a week ago.

Added: Expo Hall, Pro Sessions, New Seminars, Video DJ Battle, New Events, Merchandise, Contests & More.

Thanks for speaking your mind

Bob you have 8 months to save up!! Last year we have over a dozen VDJs from across the Atlantic come out. We'd love to have you there
Demon 7:51 PM - 30 January, 2012
Last one was cool but it seemed a little unorganized which is understandable since it was the first. i would expect all the bugs from previous to be worked out like the power or the noise coming from other room. Also a free DVD at the 1st Con was mentioned but I haven't heard anything about it after that. Also maybe a little more in depth details about a few programs. Not sure if this is possible but maybe 2 separate rooms, one for cats just starting and the other for advanced users. It was really cool meeting DJs with the same passion for VJing though.
DJMisterE 7:54 PM - 30 January, 2012
Demon - Thanks! Yes we are planning to have several rooms at this one and make certain seminars broken down in much more details for skill and experience level. Larger screens and more one on one interaction.

The DVD is a bit more complicated as there was a severe problem in the recording. It's still being worked on and we're hoping to still honor producing something from the previous conference.

Thanks for your post and hope to see you again in Vegas!
Demon 7:59 PM - 30 January, 2012
Thanks E! Appreciate the quick response. I'll be there with a few more additions from SD. Keep us posted on discounted rooms too!
DJMisterE 8:04 PM - 30 January, 2012
Working on the Hotel now. We are in negotiations and hope to have that aspect of the conference launched by mid february.

Maybe there should be two battles, one for video djs who edit and ones that don't edit (videos)
Hopefully anyone in a battle will edit their own stuff, but they might not

Crowd voting is always biased especially if they have a ton of friends, but since we're all dj's it might work.

This is for a Single King Size Bed or 2 Queen Size Beds. You can only get this price by booking through our website registration process which will be launched on Videodjconference.com this week.

We also have a Pro Package available that is an amazing deal. All the info will be on the site this week!

djs1 11:35 PM - 19 June, 2012
For the Vj challenge I say multiple videos, cannot be pre-mixed. Not including mashups, but where the entries entire performance is pre mastered in Final cut and Live, and the only thing they are actually performing with is a scratch track. I say that a requirement for entry is the set has to be broken down on a sheet of paper with a min of 3 - 4 separate tracks.
Niro 8:01 AM - 20 June, 2012
Why not just have camera on the set up from above/behind and a screen above the competitors and the there video set in the middle. This should be easy, actually was done for the 3styles. But they put the cameras in front and a lot of people had prerecorded sets and scratched on certain parts.
DJMisterE 8:08 AM - 20 June, 2012
I guess you'll have to come out and be there in person to see what we're gonna do! Videodjbattle.net will launch this week with Entry Rules & Regulations
DJBRIANM 7:14 PM - 20 June, 2012
I say you give the contestants a core library of vidz and they are only allowed to add 7 additional clips and 5 additional tracks....give em 20 minutes to study and then--POP QUIZ, Showtime.

So, what is a pro session vs general session.

*Registration does not include access to Pro Sessions,

Not sure what Pro Sessions are.
djpuma_gemini 11:03 PM - 3 July, 2012
It looks like you can't get the pro sessions unless you buy the pro package?

The pro sessions are where all the good stuff is happening.
What if you want a pro session but don't want to book a pro package that has all the extra stuff that you might not want, ie transportation to the hotel.

Rebelguy 12:43 AM - 4 July, 2012

I actually didn't plan on staying at this hotel. Maybe another package which is just the pro package stuff minus the hotel and transportation?

DJMisterE 7:53 PM - 4 July, 2012
Registration will go LIVE Tonight (July 4th, 2012) We're ironing out a few browsing & IP Issues.

Chris / Puma - You can get the regular registration then select individual pro sessions without the pro package. Click on Registration (3rd Section down) to get to the menu to select items individually.

Chris you can skip the hotel room option there.

The Pro Package is a $2000 Value wrapped up in a third of the cost. There are no price deductions or discounts with the pro packages. They're all in one bundles.
djpuma_gemini 8:52 PM - 4 July, 2012

Can you purchase individual sessions when you are at the conference or do you have to do it when you register online? There are a couple I was thinking I might want to go to but not completely sure yet and I want to register before it's too late. Also, with there be someone speaking about the relevance of video DJing in present day/future club culture? I have had Serato video for a while and I book gigs where people could care less about seeing music videos, they just want music. Maybe it is because of the area I have been DJing in but I made just as much at one spot spinning only music as another guy I know who played videos (at the same spot) so I didn't even waste my time doing videos when I'm not going to make any more money doing it.

You will be able to purchase access to Pro Sessions at the conference although it is highly recommended to buy these in advance as seats are limited and some of them are close to selling out.

There will be plenty of speakers talking about the relevance of Video DJing in today's market. This conference is a great opportunity to gain valuable educational and networking advantage over your competition.
