Joee 3:00 PM - 8 March, 2012

WOW!!!!!

i just woke up looked at me e mail, seen SmashVidz will be nore more ***very sad day :(***

ok so there merging with vj pro, this is supposed to be better for us? i play ALL genres of music for a variety of gigs i do

now i may be speaking to soon as i don't really know if i dowmload 50 or 100 videos each month i just download without really counting

if i do dowload 100 per month i need the, Platinum Plan - 100 Downloads $99.99 ($ .99 ea.) Save Over 30%, it's going to coast me $120 a month & $1,440 a year

now if that the case i guess i will be paying, if you wanna play you have to pay.....but DAMM!!!! $mucho deniro$

damehype 3:04 PM - 8 March, 2012

Already explained in another thread

Joee 3:19 PM - 8 March, 2012

i know 1 credit will get you every version of one video, but still if download every video in every genre of smahvison, not even vj pro & it adds up to 100 down loads?

DJBRIANM 3:44 PM - 8 March, 2012

I'm not in love with the structure but the other options are weak. My advice is to make sure that your back catalog is strong now before SV original site goes black. Be smart about what you download going forward.

phatbob 4:06 PM - 8 March, 2012

It's good of them to not shut down the old site for a few days, gives everyone a chance to pickup those bits that you always thought 'oh I should get that sometime' before moving fully to the new site.

Doug Howard 4:17 PM - 8 March, 2012

That's NOT how the new system works. You are NOT paying for every single version. In fact... they ....are.... FREE. Please check the tutorial. As to back catalogue..... 60,000 title library. Not exactly weak. Just wait until the new tools roll out.

djpuma_gemini 4:30 PM - 8 March, 2012

Buy one get the rest (same song, not remixes free)

Xtendz
Snipz
Blenx
Acap
Clean and dirty versions.

djpuma_gemini 5:59 PM - 8 March, 2012

You gotta look at the big picture.

Yeah the old smash pricing was great, but it can't be that way anymore and you're gonna have to be more cautious with what you download.

Maybe they should have some sort of monthly special where new songs from new artists are free to download to get more dj's to play them out (like radio spins from a station)

i will miss being able to download every single video, i will also miss the web page format, i love the look

it looks like your in serato & the genres are crates , it will be missed
Dance/Club
Latin/Reggae

I hear ya Marx, but my style is OPEN like a mofo! Especially with Spring Break right now. I'm a caterer as much as an artist. So even if I don't like/prefer a track(s), I still get ALL Top 40 from Smash because I know that 10-15 peeps are gonna request some odd ball hiphop/pop track and ill still lay it down.

I prob get around 100 (give or take) vids from SV a month. I know and understand "Buy a track get ALL the versions for one price", but damn, between SV and other routes I prob spend $150+ a month for all my material. Now more? Monthly + credits??

I also understand to be professional you need to spend money to make money or "pay to play". But having these high prices while playing venues that hardly care about "actual talent" anymore and now care more about how cheap you are, I guess is not for me. I don't settle for shit pay, but now its slim pickings if you know you're worth more than $100-$150 for your talent. I guess this service will be geared more towards all the "superstar dj's" that pretty much work for SV & CC anyway. LOL!!

Not like my word matters. People will still do it or not regardless of what I say. Just opened up the email and was very disappointed. Especially with all the hype going around about the "new SV coming".

SV was great for me while it lasted (or while it still lasts) and hope your new venture will be everything you guys wanted it to be. Just not the path I will be choosing. Much luck :)

Millz 6:45 PM - 8 March, 2012

All in all, it is cheaper for a subscription to VJ-Pro/Smashvision including credits than it is to subscribe for a 1 year sub @ promo only. Also, with VJ-Pro/Smashvision, there are no fillers so to speak, as YOU PICK THE VIDEOS YOU WANT. That was a major bitch of mine thru the years at promo only, I would get a dvd full of 30 some videos, but I could only use 15 of them in my sets. On top of that, you are getting a redic huge archive full of goodies covering many genres...and the quality vs other pools is 2nd to none.

djpuma_gemini 6:47 PM - 8 March, 2012

If you have been a video dj for at least 2 years you pretty much have 75% of the content you need.
25% being left for those rare hard to find vids and of course new vids, but new will always be new.

Promo Only? Really?? How could you even compare the companies we use to P.O.? I stopped using them 5 or more years ago and have never looked back or thought "damn, I should renew my P.O.". Hahahahaha! Biggest laugh I've had all day. Thanks Millz :D

Understandable. But say a new track comes out and its good. Then Jump Smokers, R3hab, Anthemkings, Mikael Wills, Zedd, etc come out with remixes and they are ALL good. I just spent $6-10 for that Damn song because I play all week around the same areas so my sets have to constantly change every night.

I do have the majority of my library already, but that doesn't stop new music from coming out. Not mentioning all the remixes as well. And don't forget about those dope remixes of oldschool stuff. You'll never have everything, but I guess now my peers will REALLY pay out to try and do so.

djpuma_gemini 7:15 PM - 8 March, 2012

Do you really play 5 remixes of a video.
I have the og and one maybe two video remixes.

Actually it would be $3.25 when you purchase the Diamond Package.

djpuma_gemini 7:21 PM - 8 March, 2012

Go diamond or go home.
No point in going the silver or gold unless you're a bedroom dj. You save money in the long run.
My next gig money is going to the diamond package, hell not even half the gig money.

tomatoslice 7:31 PM - 8 March, 2012

there's no doubt in my mind that he probably plays all 5 versions of a song.
i know i have seen him mix in and out of at least 2-3 remix very quickly in a live set.
at one point a crooklyn clan dj, can't remember who it was now, went to play with him in florida.
later that Vj said in a ustream chat we were having said "Poproxxx = Epic mixing"

so for some people not getting as much as before may be a bummer.

HOWEVER, this is the way the industry is going especially to stay legal.
it is possible if they had not done this we could have been without a smashviz altogether.
i will take the lesser of too evils.

I feel the same... ScreenPlay was Promo Only part 2...

No breather needed. Just the way it is.

SmashVidz had a lock on this for a bit but this will change a lot for their customer base. Lose a few customers and gain a few...

Can't please them all!

Good luck with the new direction you are taking this! It is what it is...

djpuma_gemini 7:36 PM - 8 March, 2012

Vjpro is way better than po and not just cause the chyron looks better. Higher quality audio for one on their vobs.

phatbob 7:47 PM - 8 March, 2012

I'm hoping we'll see a lot of these new tools soon, that might cheer up current unhappy users.

I went through the back cat stuff today and the few things that were downloadable were the same old clean radio versions we've all bought from other services over the years.

So at present the only stuff of interest is existing Smash content, which we were getting cheaper on the all-you-can-eat plan.

If some of that back catalogue gets 'smashed' in the coming weeks, I can see this service getting much more compelling.

i have to say i Hate this preview cut off after 30 seconds, sometimes a song doesn't kick in till after, the first 30 seconds does not always tell you if a song is HOT

that means i have to spend more time with it & be sure that i want a song before i download, Time Is Money, now i have to take up more of it to download videos

;(

nemix 9:04 PM - 8 March, 2012

Can't you quickly search your hard drive for the music video you're thinking about downloading?

Well someone will pick up where smash left off.. and sad to say it will cost smash a bit of $$ in the long run.. in just the matter of a few hours I know 4 people that said "no more smash"
To the people at Smash, what you had was working...done deal. look at all the great comments you have had in the past..now some people are not so happy..
Why don't you keep the "old smash" the same way and also do this"new thing"...? just an idea...and guess what...now you have 2 video subscription sources, some may have other older content but the other will still rock like it did...and it makes everyone smile !!

thats $1,440 a year now if your dj pauly d this does not mater, but for the normal local dj thats not making a ton of money , this number is Crazy!!!!

you have to think about it, SmashVidz is not i repeat NOT the only place i get video's from add to that music & it adds up fast, i make good money but i don't make pauly d' s $30,000 a night

With all the mombo jombo about the new service.. I think I understand it.. All I want to do is move forward.. And I wanted vj pro or smashvision to make a request thread.. So when and if someone want a single version of a song xtended. blendX or Blend-In could go to that thread and make a request without them missing it tryng to reading through all these questions about the new service. who's happy and who's not and so forth and so on

Doug Howard 10:24 PM - 8 March, 2012

Amen to that. DJBoozie

That's why God created FB. Both VJ-Pro and Smash have pages. We rely heavily on user input to determine what from the catalogues needs re-releasing, etc. etc. They email their requests in.... and we follow them. But if it's on a board... on someone else's site I should add.... chances are we will probably miss it.

Just my two cents on that...I'd really rather have you guys pick out an appropriate 30 seconds (like a verse and a chorus).

Giving me the option of figuring out which 30 seconds is from my viewpoint adding more complication to a "workflow" that has already gotten more complicated.

(Does that make sense...?)

First impression, I don't like.
1.Definitely more time consuming,
2. lack of preview time is horrible,
3. of course, the change from something that worked when you already PAID for it definitely is not cool.

With all change there is a period of disgust as well as adjustment. I guess all good things come to an end, but with all new things, there will be improvements and things that HOPEFULLY get better.. Here's to playing nothing new tonight as this new site is driving me to drink way too early!

The smashvidz.net download center will go dark on the 16th, this was done to give you time to adjust, but in order to get new content you must login to vj-pro.com. VJ-Pro is functional and you are able to get content. Once we're done with this site, it will be better then before.

yeah smash broke rule no.1 for the customers if it's not broken don't fix. Having said that, I like what I see. The only reason I have an xtendamix account is for the love of old skool hiphop. ClassicVision should post more of it I am sorted. One big big concern is that I am exclusively on paypal and my account is gonna go burst by june.

I even have folders sorted by day so I know whats new, and whats old. Can you make it to where we can filter out for example....top 40 and then click the date to sort chronologically? I don't need country or any of the other BS...I just want to keep the vids you guys have in the smash vision section. If you had it sorted out or laid out like the old site....I wouldn't hate the new site as much as I do. Its just not flowing or user friendly. Just my opinion...sorry for the rant.

vio0633 1:38 AM - 11 March, 2012

Oh and I agree....the previews on this site are horrible. You sometimes have a 15-20 second intro and all you get is 10 seconds.

vio0633 1:49 AM - 11 March, 2012

Sorry....I just noticed you can break it down by genre and month. Im back in action again! LOL!!

Doug Howard 2:10 AM - 11 March, 2012

Glad you like that. We thought that was a pretty essential feature.

We expect the preview feature to be resolved shortly. Thanks for your patience and support.

phatbob 3:14 AM - 11 March, 2012

I've now got used to the new regime and I'm quite happy.

Except...

Why does the site keep logging me out! It's a nightmare!

I'm in my house, not a dodgy internet cafe... I'd like to stay logged in, please. ;-)

Downloading speed is very good on this site. Much better then before for me.

how long does it take before you are logged off?
are you using internet explorer by chance?

sites that log you off do it for security, especially for the consumer.
i did not like it either, like always having to login to DMS, but i can see the purpose now.
i think they are working on extending the logoff times.

PopRoXxX 3:35 PM - 12 March, 2012

I checked the new site out for a bit. Granted I do not have the time to sift through all that ish (especially with Spring Break right now). I DO, however, miss the the old categorizing. You now added Urban, when urban tracks were part of "Rhythmic/Top 40" and I also liked how you categorized all oldschool & classic tracks to "Oldschool/Classics" (since I'm not going to be downloading tons of disco and ish). I like the look & speed of the new site, I just prefer the way you sorted things before rather than adding a whole bunch more stuff that I have to search, look at, preview - so on and so forth. Time DOES = money.

I will try the new site openly with my 100 credits (whenever I get time to sit on my ass and stare at songs - lol) and give you my 100% honest opinion.

AGAIN ... this is only my opinion, I'm not here to bash.

Millz 3:43 PM - 12 March, 2012

All you have to do to see the specific genre is to click on the Genre field at the top of the Program list.

marx 4:07 PM - 12 March, 2012

I know there are a bunch of new ones, but if you want to feel familiar again just click on SmashVision then select one of the drop down categories you mentioned. Yes we did split up Urban and RnB, but if your on weekly your main focus should be "latest releases" :)

VJ Justin Allen 4:11 PM - 12 March, 2012

Marx,

Can you sort all categories by date added?

djpuma_gemini 4:21 PM - 12 March, 2012

I like the split.
Rhythmic Top 40 and Top 40 are different and sometimes don't work together at certain spots.
Rack City may be a banger on Rhythmic, but some top 40 spots you might not play it.

marx 4:45 PM - 12 March, 2012

Currently only in the latest releases section which goes back 6 months.

tomatoslice 5:21 PM - 12 March, 2012

from what i hear the 30 second preview and automatic log off concerns will be adjusted today.

don't know how long the preview will be but expect to still be logged off after a period of inactivity.

not from what i can tell.
you CAN see the latest releases and view each genre in that list.
just narrowing it down to Latest Release>Dance/Club does not look possible at this time.

BUT what you can do is go to Smachvision>Dance/Club and it is sorted by date.
so it's essentually the same imo.

tomatoslice 5:32 PM - 12 March, 2012

adding a search path for latest release then the genres for their code writers should not be that difficult.

It's mainly a preview thing, but I do have some ideas for the future. BUT it was all about foundation first then building off that. There is a lot behind the scenes that had to be implemented.

BTW we got the approval to go from 30 seconds to 90 seconds, that will make a big difference when previewing.

Wow thanks for the insight. It's funny how some think we will be making more money after all this, it's actually the opposite. Please spend some time and read some of the other threads to learn something.

Great to hear that...I would think that should pretty settle that issue. What's good is that (unlike the "previews" on some other sites) the audio bandwidth/bit-rate of your previews is something listenable.

So, can it be multiple sections of a song? Say, for example, for a preview of a remix - you preview 30 sec worth of an intro and how it flows into the track, then 30 sec of the hook/chorus, then 30 sec of the climax or breakdown of the track with fades or something in between the 3 sections. Just an idea that's all and also asking just for my curiosity. That way you get a better idea of the song from a preview.

Ingo B 9:04 PM - 12 March, 2012

90 seconds is definitely better than 30. Thanks for the help, guys.

No, it will just be a ninety second preview from the beginning of the song. On a side note I have ideas we will be implementing for the preview that I do not want to mention yet until we release it for obvious reasons. We have many surprises that will be popping up in the future. This is just the foundation :)

VJ Justin Allen 9:11 PM - 12 March, 2012

WIll all of the previously encoded videos be re-encoded using the same method that Smash used...there are some differences that I have seen so far. And is there a way to tell who has encoded the videos?

djpuma_gemini 9:17 PM - 12 March, 2012

Anything that is on smashvision is done by smash, every other series has been done by Screenplay (vj-pro) aka vob to mp4 with skits 5th frames etc.
I'm hoping vj-pro will let them take over the other services cause right now you get A+ with smashvision, but a C- with the other services.

Yep that's why I posed the question about downloading the "other" videos NOW, and whether or not the credits used NOW would affect that same song if a redone version is later posted. (The answer for now is that the re-done version would charge more credits...kind of hoping that issue might get revisited as things settle down there).

Puma that is correct, our method is different, but you guys also have to remember they're still a disc service and have to use other encoding methods,

And yes when we do tools for the classics they will be in a SmashVision format.

@DJMark - If this becomes a problem we can just look up the log and trade off the credit for you. This won't be a problem later once we start turning these classic tools out.

FInally have a few minutes to go through the new listings and one thing that has jumped out at me right away. You MUST be able to view ALL previews. Too many lists have songs that do not have previews built on them.

If we have to spend credits on songs...we need to see them.

Also, I am still getting the 30 second preview on everything.

I understand, this is in place for a reason though, I just don't want to let the cat out of the bag yet. BUT it does have to do with the preview behaving a little differently. That was the initial plan, but with so many complaints about the 30 second preview we just made the flip to 90 first. I know some people are loving the site now, but just wait til later.....we're in Beta!

Previews being longer, definitely good. Download speeds continue to be stellar.

The only confusing thing I see now is that when I download a track for which I have already downloaded one version, the warning dialog is still popping up saying I'm about to lose one credit (even though I don't seem to, and the track displays as "Free" in the download queue).

Wondering (hoping) if the other programs besides SmashVision will be using the really nice new chyrons?

This new system, doesnt even have all the files download history that smashvidz had, if so I dont't see it under the FAQ.
Smashvidz kept alot of people happy, people weren't going to torrent site's,newsgroup, and some other undrground sites. I have seen this happen in the past, it's called corporate greed. You will lose more paying customer's, as they will result to trading or just downloading the stuff for free.

Shedding tears for some of the cc videos, and the TNS versions :( But honestly.. if I haven't needed some of them in the last three years, chances are good I won't need them in the future. Doesn't make sense to fill up your harddrive with videos you don't ever play.

The backcatalog from SVision looks impressive!

Rick Hodgkins 12:14 PM - 14 March, 2012

your right, it says Friday the 16th right on that page/link
Screenplay/VJPro has always featured rare edits from time to time, like you realize you've seen it nowhere else kind of.
This is going to get real crazy, and we'll be spending more time filtering/previewing and collecting than we did imo.

nik39 12:35 PM - 14 March, 2012

That's one downside I see coming... Filtering the fillers from the hits.

With Smashvidzs there were not so many fillers. But now I expect a lot more fillers. Nothing I can complain about (how can you complain about *more*?), but some filtering aids would be nice.

Not sure whether there is one already but maybe there could be a "hits" tag. Also "most downloaded" section would be nice.

VJ Justin Allen 12:36 PM - 14 March, 2012

yea, but whats a hit to one person would not be a hit to another person...gets kinda tough. I do like the "most downloaded" idea however.

djpuma_gemini 2:39 PM - 14 March, 2012

Yes most downloaded is worthy now especially with a credit based system. Sometimes on a record pool with unlimited downloads it's hard to judge cause everyone could download everything, but credit based systems people will watch watch they download.

well done!

It would also be nice of VJPro would be as nitpicky about the tags as SVision/SVidz.

There are ...

- UPPERCASE tags mixed with Regular Case (not so bad)
- Wrong year tags (this hurts more)

This is something many of the pools get wrong (not consistent tagging).

It's not super urgent - and I understand you just layed down the basics :) Just something to keep in your mind.

Thanks for listening to us.

I am not happy with this new site i try to give it a try with a open mind. However I play for everyone. There's been many times when i go to a dj gig at a club someone requests a song and I am not even sure if i have it but I go to serato and type in all and search the song and sure enough I had it only because I downloaded all the videos from smashvidz. Now I will have to limit myself to certain genre's I am sorry I think I am going to have to look for another video company out there as Jose Said. It's gonna cost me 130 a mth just to get a 130 songs I think ITUnes would work out cheaper.

iTunes videos usually cost $1.99, and for way inferior quality (audio tracks quite often completely unusable). Not sure what you're thinking there...

actually if he did grab everything it's 150/mo including membership...

i know i was one of those ppl that dl'd everything, bcuz im right outside of one of the largest military bases in the country, so ive got all walks of life requesting any and everything... and im one of those ppl that hates telling someone "sorry, i dont have it".

but like DJ Puma and others were saying, it's time to give up the video hoarding and be smart about the selection you download.

i forgot who said it, but the price of the new plans aint shit compared to what we used to spend on vinyl at the record store... and that's the damn truth.

i spent many a months eating ramen noodles just so i could dish out the 200- 300 a month for quality vinyl.

100% correct joshua, but for me it's not really a money issue, it more of a time issue, before i would just download everything, now i have to be selective taking up more of my time

i wish they would have gave us the option for a unlimited download plan

I don't really see how it's going to take more time....unless you were never listening to anything before adding it (hard to imagine, unless you have completely unlimited drive space).

For me it just alters the workflow. The previewing is done using that function on the site. It may actually save considerable time, since time isn't wasted downloading stuff I'd end up not using.

Unlimited download option would be nice though...or at least maybe some "higher" options that give a still-more-favorable cost-per-track. Sounded like there was some consideration being given to that already.

I download everytime I see and then later on I go back and recheck what I have and keep the hot club bangers in one folder. and then the other songs that I think sound hot i keep them in another folder and then whatever songs I have left over If I think I will absolute not need it then I trash it. I fly almost 2 times a mth so I download a ton of music and on my flight I go thru it. Now I have to find time out of my dj jobs to preview these songs. Also smashvidz when they gave you a preview you got to hear the whole song the quality was bad but who cares atleast you know if the song was good or not.

i think the preview thing is out of SV's control...pretty sure it has to do with the legalities and permissions from the labels.

djpuma_gemini 3:41 AM - 15 March, 2012

I think anything more than 750 is outrageous and that's saying keeping all on your gig drive.
You should have way less than that on your gig drive.
Anyone with 1tb or above is crazy and you don't need that much video.
I have about 625GB of video on my laptop and I still feel it's way too much and I can play 80s, 90s, 00s and club all night long.

I'm trying to get my gig drive down below 400GB
Funny thing is I deleted about 75 gigs worth of vids and haven't looked for one of them since they've been gone.

There's plenty to like, with the 4-for-one free versions and the smaller translucent chyrons and how straightforward it is while still being legal, but still all this throwaway Top 40 bizness and over-big ravey remixes.

There are a lot of labels that aren't represented at all, or don't have their best artists/tracks up. Off the top of my head, where are Brainfeeder, All City, Stone's Throw/Now-Again, Hyperdub, Warp, Ninja Tune, & One Handed Music, for instance? Screenplay could be taking a lot more of my money than they are, but it's like they don't want it.

DjBoozie 9:44 PM - 19 March, 2012

Once again.. And this is just me.. I hate top 40...I'm more old school and I think they need to go into the old school vision and do something with the stuff from there.. but even there is so limited

I took your request list and forwarded it to our acquisitions guy, Dillon. He's very good at what he does and if anyone can establish a more regular feed from these sorts of guys, as opposed to the occasional hit or miss from the freelance promoters, it's him. Thanks for that insight. Great stuff!

Ingo B 2:02 PM - 20 March, 2012

To DJBigboy and Puma's comment, there was once a time where DJing meant you had s--- no one else did, forcing you to dig and dig for rare stuff. When you played said rarity (even a different remix of a hot track), the crowd loved it. I'd go as far to say that DJ's were once judged by how different, creative, and technically proficient they were. If you sounded like someone else, you were accused of "biting" that person's style.

These days, everyone's playing the same thing because crowds seem increasingly narrow-minded, so yes I agree: today, less is more.

I know this makes me sound like Old Man Ingo B. While I'm at it, you kids stay off my lawn.

Rick Hodgkins 2:06 PM - 20 March, 2012

And with the recent drought of new music, seeking throw backs has become more of a necessity, and has also been welcomed by most crowds.

Sorry for the hijack, BTW.

Just DL'ed my second batch yesterday. Love how you can stash stuff in your queue.

Suggestion: I sorta understand the auto-logout reasoning. Remembering login credentials would be a nice compromise. And if possible, a more permanent "Do not show this box again" option would be nice on that Advisory pop up.

Taipanic 5:23 PM - 20 March, 2012

I'm one for the "download them all, let the DJ sort them out" mentality. A lot of the classics today were not big hits when they came out, at least not in certain markets. 2012 - I can play a whole 6 hr shift of 1988-'94 hip hop and keep the floor filled. 1988-'94 - could hardly play any hip-hop at any of the big clubs I worked throughout Florida. You can only play what you have, and that goes for what you might want to play 5-10 years from now. Guaranteed, someone on the Serato Forum 2022 will be looking for that incredibly rare video of some track that most people think is crap now. There are also a lot of songs that I would like to sample or create loops from but wouldn't ever play the whole song.

popnwave 6:49 PM - 20 March, 2012

There will always be region classics that someone across the country will scoff at.. Hell the club I do my night at is a HUGE goth/industrial venue on the weekends. I love some of the 80's and 90's stuff of that genre and talk about hard to find nowadays. If you don't get your hands on a back catalog from someone else you're screwed for the most part.

So I say the more classics of any genre the better! I understand that a pool can only address the things that give them the most return for their work. If only one DJ in Katmandu wants a track I don't expect them to get to it any time soon.

re: Less is more...my thing is, I am not gonna download every track available to me because, let's face it, there are a ton of content out there....does that mean I don't have classic videos? No...but say there is a "classic" out there that I never play, what's the use of keeping it? For that one time I will actually remember to play it...I wasn't even referring to classics, I am talking about songs that NEVER hit that never become popular...I can't imagine how much junk I would have if I downloaded every video that's released...in my mind, if it wasn't a hit to me, I am not gonna play it....

Oh I see. I got some Brazilian chick ask me for this one a couple of years ago (had no idea what she was talking about so I looked it up when I got home).
The last few month's I've been having a ton of people asking me for it, especially Latino crowds.
Watch www.youtube.com
That's the original video but there's a ton of them on the tubes with people doing the choreography.

The weird one of those 'dance routine' tracks is Whigfield - Saturday Night. In the UK there was a macarena-style dance routine for it, EVERYONE did it.

Then I went on holiday to Canada that year and everyone knew the song but nobody had ever even seen the dance routine. Odd.

Hey guys I want to Apologize about some earlier negative comments I made against VJ-Pro I had some sour grapes because I didn't have all the facts about a situation. By rambling on some of these forums about negative situation that didn't really exist I showed how ignorant I was and unprofessional I was being. Moving forward I know to goto the source first before bringing bad information about a great company!

Perfection takes time, And i am sure when it is all said and done the will be the only site you need to get your video's from.....

DJMisterE 1:32 AM - 27 March, 2012

Hey guys we're working hard to direct all traffic for requests, contests, news, updates on new video posts, etc to www.smashvision.com so please be patient. This should happen within the next week or two

Can anyone shed some light on the previewing? Is it only me that playback stops for a few seconds whenever you change the playhead position in the preview windows?

Millz 2:01 PM - 30 March, 2012

its limited to 90 seconds Anik.

phatbob 2:03 PM - 30 March, 2012

Doug, DJMisterE, Marx or Millz, could you guys take a look at my thread over here? serato.com

I'd be interested to know if I'm barking up the wrong tree, and you guys will know better than anyone.

nik39 2:19 PM - 30 March, 2012

I know :) That's not what I meant.

Lets say the current playhead is at 0:02
It has buffered until 1:30
I want to jump to 0:10
The video stops and it takes more than a couple of seconds until it catches playing from 0:10

tomatoslice 2:23 PM - 30 March, 2012

yes, that happens to me as well, nik.
it seems normal.

i have seen it on other sites in the past too.
must have something to do with how it dloads/streams for the preview

It should be normal. Thanks for confirming.

Would be nice if this gets fixed. Quick previewing is essential, esp now that there are a lot more new videos :)

irieproductions 3:51 PM - 30 March, 2012

a quick question to the smashvisions staff. I see that a lot of hip-hop videos are being released exclusively on World Star HipHop but a huge logo accross the screen which makes em pretty much useless and they happen to be the current hits from the south.

Whats the reason this videos dont make it to video pools? and pardon my ignorance, im not from the US ;)

tomatoslice 4:14 PM - 30 March, 2012

nik,
they are still in beta. i am sure many kinks will be fixed including the quick preview now that they know it exists. although, i think this came up before.

marx 4:51 PM - 30 March, 2012

Yes the preview window is not running at tip top shape, but all this will be addressed very soon. I'm very confident you guys will like all the new features that we will be adding.

It's only been 22 days since the launch, we mainly have just laid a strong foundation, we still have plenty to build :-)

Rick Hodgkins 5:09 PM - 30 March, 2012

Rick Hodgkins 5:28 PM - 30 March, 2012

Well there is the original label release date and then the companies when they put it up.
For instance, Usher - Love in the club was not released on 3/29/12, where as on the old site, both columns were there.

I gotcha. Before it was date released and date updated. Something along those lines will be back on our next update. But the original year released will be back soon.

I got well confused last week when you re-upped a load of stuff.

marx 5:38 PM - 30 March, 2012

Yeah I hear ya, much more coming. Redoing all the older stuff with the 100% opacity chyron. All old format videos are to follow.

This falls into my department. World Star Hip Hop Gets the original videos then adds their huge ugly oversized chryon to the video when posted. We will be adding a requests section to our Smashvision.com page within the next 30 days or less. This will be the only place that request submissions will be honored and looked at. So you can start requesting some of those videos that are a bit harder to find. I'm all for adding more hip hop from developing artists. I just need to know who you guys are looking to see more of so I can reach out to their people and get them on board. PLEASE DO NOT Respond to this comment with a list of artists. Save that for the new request section.

nemix 6:04 PM - 30 March, 2012

For cue points on the xtends I see there added in at the 1st beat 16th and usually around the 32nd (start of the song) beat. But they tend to be right before that beat where the vocals start. Would it be possible in the future to also have one right on the 32nd beat? We have 5 cue points available could it be 1st beat, 16th beat, first vocal, 32nd beat, outro?

Since that vocal position can be different in every song it isn't as useful to me when I drop songs in with cue buttons, i find myself moving these often....

marx 6:14 PM - 30 March, 2012

I hear ya. If we were to do that half the time it would be right, half the time it would be wrong. It just comes down to mixing style. If you were to hit that on 32 half the vocal would be cut off. Some djs prefer the beat some prefer the vocal. IMO it sounds sloppy on the beat where the vocal is cut off. If we were to do it one way on vocals and one way on the beats we would lose consistency and some people will get confused. Its just one of those things you will have to manually change.

Trust me Jack busts my balls about it :-) I have my reasons :-)

Millz 6:32 PM - 30 March, 2012

^^ this guy. When Serato adds more cue points, I will sneak in the office and add the 32 beat cuepoint :)

Man this sums up to pretty much all the Maybach Music Group Music Videos!! So Far i have been playing the videos with the piece of crap WSHH Chyron because i have no other options, If i had a legit/paid source to get them i will definitely pay for it, this is good news if you tell me that you guys have access to these MMG videos that don't get released anywhere else.

DJMisterE 10:04 PM - 30 March, 2012

I was just with Diddy and crew last night. Big things in the works. I will contact MMG next week and get the ball rolling for more videos other than the powerhouse hits. Thanks

probably has not been set to mp4 yet.
not all screenplay, from what i can tell, has been converted.

nik39 7:59 PM - 3 April, 2012

Two questions:

1. Sometimes some videos at the top of the SV list have no preview, download or queue icon. Check this screenshot:

imageshack.us

Does this mean the video just has been uploaded and is being processed? I think it would save you more questions if you'd wait until they are ready for preview/dl/q before you list them

2. At which date of the month do the credits get reset?

Cheers!

DJMisterE 8:08 PM - 3 April, 2012

A very rare oddity. They are all downloadable on my end.

Credits are not reset. Once you run out you need to buy more. If you're referring to your SV account being transferred to credits, we gave you a total amount for the time remaining on your account. When you run out of those you will need to purchase more.

The $19.99 monthly membership fee is due at the beginning of each month

nik39 8:15 PM - 3 April, 2012

Thanks for the quick reply. :)

We didn't make a Madonna - Party Rock Remix because IGA told us there was an official video remix in the works from the label.

I will follow up with IGA tomorrow on my normal weekly call. Thanks

500 package?

$249.99 ... everyone was screaming for a library package because of all the nuggets in the VJ-Pro ClassicVision Series. So..... there you go. Try to hit me on FB for a quicker response. I'm a FB junkie and I have that open on a tab all the time.

Use the drop down menus for the genres, particularly the ClassicVision. Sometimes people miss the drop downs and think that's all that there is. Easy mistake to make if you're moving quickly through the site. But it's there for you.

skinnyguy 3:14 AM - 5 April, 2012

i've never been on 8th, smash, or whatever. i was on PO for a while tho...before the downloads....and from my understanding, you don't have access to back catalog with them.

You also can't pick and choose what to download, your not pre- programmed.

req for R.I.O. ft U-Jean - Animal Xtendz

also sorting and/or searching doesn't work properly. when you search it seems as if the site should be paginated and you can't see page 2. i only realized this after doing a sort by artist or title.

for example search for R.I.O., now sort by artist. only results from "" to J are displayed with no way to see K-Z.

Working on the guetta and perry issue. Just tried Dev and Far East and they download fine. What are you using ie: browser, platform etc?

LJ_WOOLSEY 7:11 PM - 10 April, 2012

just downloaded a bunch of older vids fine. mac osx 10.6.8 and safari.

tobe fair you can type loads of artists in and you can not download alot of stuff. seems tobe most stuff in caps lock text.

also the search does not bring up all the vids you have of that artist. or at least not newer stuff in the search.

LJ_WOOLSEY 7:12 PM - 10 April, 2012

I will have to check that, if you hit refresh I'm sure it's not logged correct?

There is a bulk of Screenplays catalog that is not available for download yet. They're a disc service that added downloading, BUT all that content will be digitized and be available for you to download soon.

LJ_WOOLSEY 8:20 PM - 10 April, 2012

Oh ok makes sence so this stuff will be availible in time to download?

Not at comp till tmoz now so will try the refresh thing.

Also want to add that after using paypal to pay it always gets stuck on processing paypal payment screen that might worry alot of ppl. But i just open another browser page to check its worked.

Hey SV-Lords,

did you change anything about the functionality when click on the "+" button to add a video to the dl-queue? Formerly you could click on the "+" button, then click on the next one etc. The webpage did not change/switch. Now whenever you click on "+" it will add the video to the queue and take you to the dl-queue page.

Bug? Feature?

Recently I'd taken to supplementing my library with some remixes and such from the "whitelabel" -cough- sites simply because I don't have enough hours in the day to sit and do them myself. SV with Smash's new material and eyeball for quality for the VJ or videoDJ, and Screenplay's back catalog look to be the ideal pool now.

It's hard to imagine when I got my DVJ's back in 2004 I'd be able to skip mastering DVDs, a lot of the prep time I had each week, and just grab what I needed to do my set the way I wanted.

Even at $1.50 a track, as long as the previews are in place, this is cheaper for me than the time spent setting up same video myself with the label source. With the bigger $250 investment I can see SV keeping me happy for a long time.

DJMisterE 8:05 PM - 11 April, 2012

Thanks popnwave for that awesome review. Mind if I use it on our BLOG page with your real DJ name? feel free to email me mistere@smashvision.com with any questions

Hey SV-Team,

just a heads-up...is there an error with
Miguel Arch N Point [Xtendz] - Clean
and
Miguel Arch N Point [Single] - Clean?

I remember Millz said that the files have been fixed (they showed up as corrupt in SL), but if I add them to the download queue they don't have the "FREE" stamp. Is this a database error?

marx 1:51 PM - 19 April, 2012

This because it's a re download. I'll add the credits back to your account.

nik39 2:04 PM - 19 April, 2012

Thanks, I am not so much worried about my credits. Just wanted to make sure that this is not a flaw.

So, does this mean, that if my harddrive gets faulty and I don't have any backup and I have to redownload all videos, that I have to pay credits for all of those files again?

popnwave 2:41 PM - 19 April, 2012

Mann.. preparing for my 90's event every few months makes me yearn for some of the alternative stuff I have never found a good copy of over the years:

Sponge - Molly (Sixteen Candles) youtu.be
Alice In Chains - Again youtu.be

Pretty niche stuff but I know a lot of us alterna 30 somethings rocked out to this in late high school early college 96-97 ;D

This is the perfect post to single out this common sense statement

"Always Have A Back Up Drive"

The answer would be yes. You would have to redownload everything. It's not our fault if you don't back up your library. All it takes is one corrupt file to make drives go crazy. Or plugging into the wrong powered USB Hub. Just ask DJ Intensity who lost 465Gigs of videos by plugging into the wrong powered hub.

If you lost all your records would you expect the record store to replace everything?

popnwave 3:42 PM - 19 April, 2012

Yeah I don't think video pools/services are really set up to provide a "cloud" style system for maintaining purchases over long periods of time...... of course that might come in the future, but I would suspect (as with most archival services) you pay a fee based on how much info you want to always have access to.

djpuma_gemini 3:48 PM - 19 April, 2012

Not sure if this is an error or if it's supposed to be like this:

Say I go to vj-pro.com and click on smashvisions and I see a new vid I want to download. When I click on it it says I need to login, so I do and it reroutes me to the weekly hot tracks or whatever is vj-pros default.

I then have to click on smashvision and go back to find my download.

Is this supposed to be like this and/or can we get it where we will stay on smashvision when we log in?

Thanks

DJMisterE 3:54 PM - 19 April, 2012

When you login the site will default to the Weekly Hot Playlist.

Remember Smashvision is now a "playlist" on VJ-Pro.com

We're working on another route to take you direct from Smashvision.com but only time will tell if that will play out to a working model

LJ_WOOLSEY 3:56 PM - 19 April, 2012

ya i agree when asked to login it should take you to where you last was. this is massive pain when getting older stuff and it logs out.

lol, don't need to get smart and all of that ;) The point is not the backup or anything. I got a backup of a backup of a backup. Spread across multiple places just in case a fire or something happens ;)

The simple question was whether a redownload (for example an accidental) will cause you to pay by a new credit. :)

nemix 4:36 AM - 20 April, 2012

Any problems with the site in the last day or two? I added a few tracks to my download cue and logged on today to download them and they aren't there. I'm 100% I added them and that "+" turned into a "-"...

tomatoslice 4:52 PM - 20 April, 2012

got a call from DaddyDog today asking about my thoughts on Vj-Pro and SmashVision.
he mention a sale going on, so i did some fact checking.

there is a sale going on.

today until midnight there is a promo code available.
"420" (without the quotes of course) is a promo code that gets you 20% off.
that ends up being 500 credits for $199.
that plus $100 a year is damn good pricing imo.

*S*

popnwave 6:46 PM - 20 April, 2012

YEAAAAAAH Scooter.... erm ahh noooo. I wouldn't mind his earlier band Celebrate The Nun, though. Nice synthpop.

As a special thank you to everyone who has been giving nothing short of tremendous support during this time of transition to VJ-Pro.com, We've decided w/ a little help from our friends at Mix Emergency to give away a FREE Custom Smashvision Transition To Everyone! The link is posted on our homepage www.smashvision.com in the Ad Section. You should check this page very frequently! Lots of new and exciting things will happen here first!

phatbob 7:22 AM - 25 April, 2012

Just wanted to let you know that like LJ_WOOLSEY I've just found the site got stuck on the Paypal payment processing page.

The payment did work, but I had to open a new tab to find that out.

Working on resolving this. If your payment didn't process correctly just e-mail us directly & it will be taken care of asap.

Yeah it's odd.. Didn't work on Chrome in Win 7 or OS X but Safari did just fine.. I got it either way, just threw me off :)

works on chrome fine for me

Steve Dub. 8:47 PM - 25 April, 2012

Feature suggestion - any chance we can get the preview function on the download queue page as well? Sometimes I stash files and sit on it for a week, just to manage my impulse buy tendencies. Problem is, I go thru so much stuff, I sometimes can't remember what it sounded like.

Not a showstopper, but it would save a few clicks and be more convenient.

DJMisterE 9:21 PM - 26 April, 2012

Thanks Ingo, This is something we've had on our list and is on the todo list.

Appreciate your feedback and support

tomatoslice 10:11 PM - 26 April, 2012

when you scroll across the track in the download center a link to the original file or video would be good.

marx 10:21 PM - 26 April, 2012

Not following, can you elaborate?

tomatoslice 10:30 PM - 26 April, 2012

say you add "Gotye Easy Way Out [Snipz] - Clean" for download to the download center.
when you go to the download center, and you place the mouse cursor on the name "Gotye Easy Way Out [Snipz] - Clean" it lights up as a left clickable left back to the area (for instance Smashvision) of origin.

a better example would be "Jimi Hendrix Star Spangled Banner (Live)"
left click on it from the download center and it would take you to ClassicVision June 2006
60's Classic Rock Vol 1.

it's not all that necessary. i only thought of it as a temporary fix for for people that would like a preview in the download center.
they could just left click, be jumped to the video and preview it.

XRM5 5:16 PM - 30 April, 2012

Have the other (non-Smashvision) new Screenplay releases been updated to Smash standards with cue points, encoding quality, and less offensive chyron yet?

djpuma_gemini 5:39 PM - 30 April, 2012

I don't think so. Probably not for a while.
I'd ask Doug directly or vj-pro directly.

popnwave 5:47 PM - 30 April, 2012

Redoing the back catalog is going to be a long term process.. The few I've grabbed in the past month from older releases haven't been redone yet.

XRM5 6:49 PM - 30 April, 2012

I wasn't thinking of the back catalog, just the last few weeks' worth. But probably better to just ask them.

Doug Howard 9:40 PM - 30 April, 2012

You're absolutely right and I agree. And I'm not letting that get lost in all of the other things we are creating. The new chyron is way sexier. Marx, E and I are on our way to the Seattle studios later this month, and getting everything uniform across all production platforms is one of the top lines on the agenda. I'm not going to wait forever on that. BTW..... I want to thank you guys for all of your "hard to find" requests of late . You've been coming up with some incredible gems. Please make a point of checking the Hot Weeklies regularly as we have been sticking them in there so you can get them now, and not have to wait until they find a home within the ClassicVision series.

djpuma_gemini 10:37 PM - 30 April, 2012

Let me know when you guys get here so I can help you digitize that back catalog.

popnwave 10:47 PM - 30 April, 2012

I used to have dreams about the old MTV vaults back in the day. When MTV2 first launched and they played all of their stuff A-Z in the late 90s I wanted to cry that some of that stuff hadn't seen airplay in eons and hasn't since ;(

The Breeders - Cannonball

It is good to see a thread where we can request for videos and New material...Now that I'm offering videos....I do get requests from customers where I work at more of the Alternative Rock genre.

or even the Pixies.

I raided a rock america and MixMash collection about 5 years ago for alot of that
90s alt.... Letters to cleo, Tanya Donnely, belly, Metric, Powerman 5k, Laz Burman, Mazzy star.

BUT I WOULD LOOOOOOVE FOR SMASH to dig in those vaults an re-release them.
I think back them I just ripped and rendered 29.97

i had 100s of dvds from pools ripped to hardrives until a few weeks back when i started i deleting almost everything.
now all i have is the majority of the PO's best of series.
but it freed up about 12 thousand GBs.

i lost tons of videos like the Breeders, Pixiesn Nitzer Ebb and Siuoxsie but the having the space and videos without those awful chyrons was worth it.

VJ Justin Allen 8:32 PM - 5 May, 2012

Definitely need a pop-up if you go to download a song that you already downloaded. Just grabbed the same song 2 weeks in a row.

tomatoslice 9:27 PM - 5 May, 2012

after the first download the song changes to a lighter color.

tomatoslice 9:41 PM - 5 May, 2012

the first time it changes to a blue/green color.
the second time it turns grey.

not sure if you use the direct download or the download center but i would use the download center. that way you double check some later or get more time to remember you already have it.
like i suggested before this is probably another good reason to have a link back to the original listing in the download center; to check if you already dloaded it.

my question is:
how did you not notice the color difference when before you dloaded the video the second time?
was it a simple mistake or something else?

because if it was not a simple mistake, they should know there is a work around that makes dloading the same song possible without some warning.

VJ Justin Allen 9:51 PM - 5 May, 2012

I think this is an issue with the site design.

The song was Havana Brown feat Pitbull We Run The Night (Mark Picchiotti Club Mix)

I downloaded this song from the "hotlist" area on 4/19. When I looked in the "Dance" area today (new month) I saw this song there and did not realize I already had this version...so I downloaded it again.

It was not grayed out or a different color even through it was the same version of the song. It was just in a different section of the website.

I can see a lot of people downloading duplicates because of this issue.

tomatoslice 9:55 PM - 5 May, 2012

yea, that is what i thought.
i think they are aware of it and working on the issue.

I'm noticing a lot of issues with tracks i've already downloaded not showing as such. its also an issue with downloading a [single] for example and then the [xtendz] comes out and the latter is not free. For example I already have the Mavado - Settle Down single and now I am being charged for the xtendz.

I tried posting that last night, but I guess my phone didn't post it.
Same issue some tracks are not grayed out. The good thing is they don't count as an extra credit, so it's just bandwidth for me.

Steve Dub. 8:05 PM - 11 May, 2012

Sill. Don't. Like. The. Credit. System.

There's been a few songs that in the past I would have downloaded and tried out where as now I'm having to skip them in order to save a credit.

have a credit? give a credit. need a credit? take a credit.

From what I gathered, he doesn't want to use up credits for tracks that aren't up and coming hits. Some djs would consider this breaking music into a new market. We have broken new music videos for years, he just doesn't want to use up credits to get them. This does make sense for fillers, but that's not something we focus on. I'd rather program remixes or some classics.

The Artist Spotlight section will allows us to program tracks we normally wouldn't put on a priority list to program and it won't cost you anything to obtain them.

Maskrider 5:22 AM - 12 May, 2012

This is what I'm talking about classics should be a priority and the stuff that you guys feel will be hit as a Dj you have that sense when a song will make or break.

Steve Dub. 6:28 PM - 12 May, 2012

Yeah it's hard to weed out what songs I'm talking about, there are just certain songs major label or not that I wouldn't usually play unless I could download them for free and trying out.

Also I sorted my library today by KBPS to see how many low bitrate tracks I have and I found an alarmingly high amount of SV's in my library at 128 and 192 kbps. All this time I thought all the vidz were 320.

Niro 7:05 PM - 12 May, 2012

The KBPS for the audio of video's are usually wrong. You can put it into Movie batch or QT inspector to find out the real KBPS.

Ahhh ok thanks for the info Sorin.

Oh, you mean every 3rd hype mix from the past few years? Good idea.

Ingo B 1:27 PM - 15 May, 2012

Thanks, but not into hype versions. Most (not all) bastardize the original flavor by adding in something outside of that song's era. I'm looking at you, Lil Jon and Fatman Scoop samples.

Screw those samples. Now is the time to say: PLAYED OUT

I made this Jump hype mix in 2001, well before everyone was biting. Jus sayin :)

Steve Dub. 4:07 PM - 15 May, 2012

The only jump "hype" mix worth playing is the one with the Busta Rhymes sample into House of Pain.

djpuma_gemini 4:10 PM - 15 May, 2012

Don't this shit make my people wanna jump jump.

True, and some songs don't need hype mixes. They're already hype enough.

It's like putting some redrum/hype/fm scoop onto hypnotize. Not needed.

Ingo B 4:19 PM - 15 May, 2012

Sorry Millz. I didn't check out the link before responding. Just making a blanket statement, and wasn't levying a personal attack. For the record, I respect your work, esp the recent versions you've been putting onto Smash.

Millz 4:23 PM - 15 May, 2012

Its all good homies!

tomatoslice 5:07 PM - 15 May, 2012

it's nice that people caught up to hating on hype. but it should have been out before ed hardy and spikey hair. however, sometimes you just have to embrace the hype...and subtlety is key. i play hype but at the right moment and right time (sometimes).

i'd play a knock off of that version.
you think you could make a new mix of that, Millz?
just the "ladies, fellas" hype part? that would be nice.
you can keep that "do the eagle" and "put your lighters up" part because it has less meaning to current crowds.

phatbob 5:42 PM - 15 May, 2012

I find that the big problem with playing stuff with hype like 'put your hands up' is when you want to play a track early in the night, when the floor is sparse, or in a bar or something.

It always make feel like a bit of a dick. (NM)

nik39 5:43 PM - 15 May, 2012

But who'd play a hype track when it's early in the night anyway?

phatbob 5:46 PM - 15 May, 2012

Sometimes they're just a great remix. Blighted by hype.

JDforKing 6:35 PM - 15 May, 2012

Do you guys still offer the $100 fee for a year or was that a special? I know in addition you have to pay for credits but i thought i saw somewhere i could pay $100 instead of the 19.99 a month.

I've come across those tracks that I haven't played before and it's a remix or an edit some dj made and when I play it I hear the, put your hands up, etc and there's like one person on the dance floor.

I hate that and feel dumb when that happens, at midnight yes, at 1030 no way.

Joshua Carl 7:40 PM - 15 May, 2012

CUE points kids.... cue points.

Generally speaking I dont play any other mix of Jump than Jack's.
mostly because of the quality of the audio....
early.... cue point to the record scratch sound.
late play that shit straight through.... because its not like all that other hype.

tomatoslice 9:29 PM - 15 May, 2012

of course i did figure if jack didn't want to edit it that i'd just play only half the hype using the cues or instant doubles.

Sorry guys but this is not the place to request Videos. It doesn't really work they way you may think. Requests are more suggestions from our members. There are many legal attributes when it comes to posting videos from back catalogues. There must be record label clearance, licensing, qood quality source of video and audio. We try to look at every suggestion that our members make, but to be honest - if we responded to every request individually there wouldn't be any time to make new edits.

Please be patient with the older videos. We are currently working on tons of flashbacks for you with tools!! These will be sprinkled in with the rest of our releases in the Smashvision playlist on VJ-Pro.

Be sure to check out the ClassicVision playlist for other older videos.

phatbob 7:01 PM - 29 May, 2012

I must say I'm very happy with the new service still.

Just one problem, we need an actual release date for the tracks, not the date when they've been added to Smash. If I'm in a hurry to get new stuff on a Friday night, it's a pain to have to dig through my crates and check whether a video is old or new. Especially with stuff like D&B where the actual track names don't sit prominently in my memory...

one of which is "GARY WRIGHT - Love Is Alive (Live)"
even though it's live i am sure i can find something to do with it.
the 12inch of that song is the sh.

Sorry to put this here but don't remember where to email.

The MGK ft everybody - Wild Boy (xtendz clean) starts going dirty at 3:35 saying bitch and then says fuck. I think it's only in the hook after MGK's verse.

Not sure why I listened to the entire thing. I guess it was catchy to me. haha
Haven't checked the clean single so not sure about that one.

Bare beats are way more useful on the INTRO than on the OUTRO.

I actually disagree, the opposite works better. You want the audience to experience the new song coming in. This makes the impact much better.

phatbob 10:36 PM - 10 June, 2012

Thanks for K7 - Come Baby Come, Smash crew.

That was my joint back in the day, but somehow I've never managed to score the video until now.

for my style of mixing i find both of these comments to be true.
there is a time and place for both.

i grew up on clean beats and mixing hook like to hook line.
clean intros make mixing into a song that is out of key a breeze. these type of intros are great with a dramatic hit or break, so the end of the mix is just a cut.
it provides a surprise "wow" factor.

a clean outro is great for acapella intros and other types of songs.
there are certain songs i must have a clean outro for.
for instance the drop on "we found love" - rihanna is very abrupt so i am always layering her first vocals over an outro. without those clean outros on many mixes i'd be screwed.

I get what you mean...guess I would have just added 32 bare beats onto the intro that you already have there, then you could have it both ways easy enough.

Of course I can do (and already did) pretty much that using a fifth cuepoint and a loop...

I didnt expect an answer that day since most dj sites are off on weekends......got TWO emails back in about 20 minutes, one who had fixed the problem and the other one saying it looked like someone had already fixed it! GRRRRREEEAT CUSTOMER SERVICE GUYS! THANKX A MILLION!!!!!

Steve Dub. 5:49 PM - 18 June, 2012

Where are all these changes that were supposed to happen?

Previews are still slow and buggy and the 90 seconds still isn't helpful as a lot of house songs take a long time to get to the actual "good part of the song"

There are a LOT of back catalog items that don't have extended intros.

Still no "year released" column.

djpuma_gemini 6:05 PM - 18 June, 2012

I haven't tested this, but I think you can jump to the "meat" of the song and then the 90 seconds will continue from there.

I think the reason it has to be 90 seconds is because the preview player uses the actual file, so if it were to play the entire video you could essentially rip the entire video without paying.
I'm assuming it's easier to do it that way, than make a ton of preview files with lower quality bitrate and play them that way.

tomatoslice 6:15 PM - 18 June, 2012

i think it's that way due to legal reasons.

Yes I understand, the preview file is too big for most to load vs our old version. We are currently working on this overhaul. Its not a switch you just flip.

requests are best done through an email titles "requests" directly to info@vj-pro.com.
they read all emails and requests are put in a special area.

apparently most of the time they can get a video.
can't wait to test this...especially with Camper Van Beethoven - Take the Skinheads Bowling.

I hate you guys.. another good one, I've only seen that in the late 90s on MTV2 :(

ScreenPlay has a pretty huge back catalog. I think time would be their biggest constraint with the digital delivery model keeping reproduction costs down. Great way to bring some of 30+ somethings they can toss into their indie/rock sets.

djpuma_gemini 4:21 PM - 22 June, 2012

It is funny as hell.
Dude had everyone laughing with his moves and it will make a great ambient video for songs without vids as well. From what I saw i didn't see any flo rida or singing.

That flo rida song is pretty catchy and I can see requests coming in. The video will definitely be a hit at my gigs. Now get Wide Awake uploaded.

phatbob 9:28 PM - 22 June, 2012

I played 212 at EVERY gig from October until it hit UK radio playlists last month.

I'm not ashamed to say I was playing an HD YouTube rip of it (with redubbed audio), until I got a proper version, because dammit I was determined to break that record with my crowds. Like the old days!

djpuma_gemini 10:15 PM - 22 June, 2012

^good for you.

I just think it's an OUTSTANDING record. Best thing I've heard for a long, long, time. And I never tire of it.

Bought the EP when it came out the other week, love 1991 and Liquorice too.

I hope she really hits the mainstream. She deserves to be a big star.

Thanks, I am not so much worried about my credits. Just wanted to make sure that this is not a flaw.

So, does this mean, that if my harddrive gets faulty and I don't have any backup and I have to redownload all videos, that I have to pay credits for all of those files again?

This is the perfect post to single out this common sense statement

"Always Have A Back Up Drive"

The answer would be yes. You would have to redownload everything. It's not our fault if you don't back up your library. All it takes is one corrupt file to make drives go crazy. Or plugging into the wrong powered USB Hub. Just ask DJ Intensity who lost 465Gigs of videos by plugging into the wrong powered hub.

If you lost all your records would you expect the record store to replace everything?

lol, don't need to get smart and all of that ;) The point is not the backup or anything. I got a backup of a backup of a backup. Spread across multiple places just in case a fire or something happens ;)

The simple question was whether a redownload (for example an accidental) will cause you to pay by a new credit. :)

You would be amazed on how many drives I have saved, and people did not have backups. So if your drive goes bad and no backup than hit me up....however go to your local bestbuy right now and save yourself alot of headache and big money and buy a spare drive to backup your collection.

I like how you guys dispersed this week's videos across the week, as opposed to slamming the site with a billion mega-tons on Friday and Saturday. I realize this isn't always possible, but it does make processing easier on our end, time-wise. Thanks folks!

+1 agreed, there has been a lot of material this week period, but the staggered releases does make it easier to grab, tag as I like and get them analyzed a lot more orderly!

djpuma_gemini 5:52 PM - 19 July, 2012

staggered over one lump sum
Much easier to get, but I know it's not always the case as releases might not come out until Tuesday and then you gotta edit the stuff.

If you actually look at the history of posts from the last several months since the merger you will notice this is how the site is structured for postings. There is no one set day that new tracks will go up. They will be put up as they are ready. We're happy that you all like this and that it in turn makes your downloading and sorting easier. We aim to please!

Yes coming very soon. Were in the process of encoding lower bitrate files that will load much faster. You can see these now if your currently using the iPhone app. Another surprise coming with the new player which I can't mention yet. But lets say it will give you a lot more control of what your actually previewing, I will not elaborate any further then that ;)

I'm trying to avoid re-upping with DTV for a few weeks. Their upload rate of stuff I want has been pretty sad lately, and I'd rather leave it a few weeks and catch up later if I can.

Tell you what, I was doubtful about the new Smash credits system at first, but actually it's working out to be much better value than all-you-can eat pools for me now. And I'm not downloading loads of shit I'll never play in order to justify an expensive sub.

Thats the vast majority of US listeners though.
fill up the spoon and serve away radio....otherwise they arent interested in it.

Same thing last year with Stereo Love....
actually every year theres 3-4 international tracks that pop round the world...and because of the
way the $$$$ goes round it takes a year for US programming to start pushing them.

the "top 40" was suposed to be the answer to the payola radio scandal.
its only legitimized it, and cut the cake so more people can get their hands on the $$$

Idiots.

At the end of the day its business, you might not want to hear it but were talking millions of views vs thousands of djs. Even though reaching the djs will get you in theory, hundreds of thousands of "listeners" but that number still isn't in the millions. Now millions of views doesn't happen all the time, but it is the goal. The percentage rate between consumers and djs is still the same no matter the amount of views. The entire music industry has evolved and not in the direction that will favor us djs IMO. There will always be trend setters, but its hard to compete with a YouTube view at this time.

nik39 7:13 AM - 14 August, 2012

Then make the video available on youtube! Youtube is biiiig. Who cares about a shitty looking-like-1998-website like Wshh??

Ingo B 4:12 PM - 14 August, 2012

If they go thru the trouble/expense of making a video for YouTube views, why not just send a copy to video pools? Seems like such a minor additional step that would potentially yield a huge ROI.

I know you're caught in the middle, and I'm just venting. You guys are doing a great job with what you're given.

I tried doing batch downloads before and it wouldn't remember what songs I downloaded.

To make sure the downloader remembers what I download I do it one song at a time.

I've email support about this before and they helped me out by giving me more credits but I don't trust the batch download anymore.

+100 On the Zhane I used to play the heck outta that record, going straight back into the mix tomorrow. (IMO it was the best single on that album and that's considering they had Hey Mr Dj, Vibe & Groove Thing as killer singles on it as well)

I have pretty good version of the Forgot about Dre must be the MTV version but it has no logoz on it.

Bare beats are way more useful on the INTRO than on the OUTRO.

Just came to mind re: Naughty By Nature - O.P.P. [Xtendz] - Clean

I actually disagree, the opposite works better. You want the audience to experience the new song coming in. This makes the impact much better.

for my style of mixing i find both of these comments to be true.
there is a time and place for both.

i grew up on clean beats and mixing hook like to hook line.
clean intros make mixing into a song that is out of key a breeze. these type of intros are great with a dramatic hit or break, so the end of the mix is just a cut.
it provides a surprise "wow" factor.

a clean outro is great for acapella intros and other types of songs.
there are certain songs i must have a clean outro for.
for instance the drop on "we found love" - rihanna is very abrupt so i am always layering her first vocals over an outro. without those clean outros on many mixes i'd be screwed.

Regarding these comments.. there is a place for both. Esp for house tracks.

Now why do more and more videos come out without Xtendz and only as Intro :-( Couldn't you make Xtendz for all, as you used to do it in the past?

djpuma_gemini 8:24 PM - 28 August, 2012

Probably easier to make intro only and don't want to focus on the outro, when it's not a hot song and you won't play it to the end anyway.
I rarely, if ever use the outro of an extended video, but occasionally will or just hit cue one and loop it if I need bare beats.

nik39 4:34 AM - 29 August, 2012

We need the xtendz on house videos. They are usually short anyway.

DJMisterE 4:45 AM - 29 August, 2012

We make Xtendz for most house mixes. Sometimes we post a [Club] tool for a longer mix. The [Intro] tools are mainly for pop / top 40 & country. Where no outro is really needed. Would you rather us waste time on that or continue with more flashback videos??

nik39 5:09 AM - 29 August, 2012

I don't think you should use the term "wasting time" here and judge for yourself. How about you ask the customers first before you make such changes?

I don't care about country, but someone else might. For pop - yes please include outros too. They are helpful.

nik39 5:11 AM - 29 August, 2012

And I also don't care about you make more 'insert whatever here' - I'd rather prefer if you make things properly like you did in the past ;) quality over quantity!

DJMisterE 5:20 AM - 29 August, 2012

We did ask the customers first, almost 250 of them. I'm that you weren't on that list. In regards to the "insert whatever here" content I think you are referring to... It may not speak to you but that doesn't mean it doesn't have use to some other demographic of video djs out there.

I carefully weigh every genre and I'm always in a constant state of evolution with the styles of music that is programmed. Please also remember that we have record labels that we work with and who give us a tremendous amount of substantiates and leeway. We help support the newer artists that they're trying to expose to the world. Their music may not be right for you or for most members, but if the tracks are being downloaded then that becomes crucial data for a labels ability to track progress.

I think you misunderstood me.

Basically an XTendz offers more than an Intro. So an Xtendz is less than an Intro. It's strange that people vote against Xtendz, because Xtendz offers what Intro does *and* more.

Was that a copy and paste answer? ;) I am not sure what this has to do with my comment about Xtendz. I was not asking you to add new genres, or to remove any genres.

All I am saying is that I'd appreciate it if you could make Xtendz instead of Intro's. As far as I can read, people in this thread agreed, that Xtendz satisfies both parties - those who want an introductionary clean start of a track, and also a clean outro.

So please... bring them back :-) Thanks!

phatbob 1:18 PM - 29 August, 2012

+1 for Xtendz over Intros every time, please. It's easier to mix out before the outro than it is to loop the end and make your own. Xtendz are just more flexible.

LJ_WOOLSEY 1:39 PM - 29 August, 2012

Sorry but is there a statement somewhere? as i still see xtendz so not sure where you are coming from? or is this something that is about to change?

Anyway defo Xtendz over intro its the main reason i love this service!

I think you guys are getting lost in the hype of your own interest of the [Intro] edits. I challenge you to give me 3 must have videos that only have [Intro] and no [Xtendz]

We make [Xtendz] and [Snipz] for almost everything we can.

Nik - The genre comment was a followup to your 'insert whatever here' comment and was not copied and pasted. I take the time to read everything in this thread. I choose to answer certain posts.

Let me be very clear for all those tuning in....

XTENDZ are not going anywhere. They've been the foundation of our service and there are 0 plans to change that anytime in the foreseeable future.

Why in the fuck would anyone play that shit? That's like the LMFAO of the far east but worse. At least some of LMFAO's beats are good (better be if your dad is Berry Gordy). I'm all for playing shit for the laugh factor but that video isn't funny at all to me.

October standard monthly releases, along with that ClassicVision will be posted on the 1st (actually might happen tonight if the elves are on their game). It said that on the email, but apologies if that confused you. Definitely worth it though.... this month's ClassicVision came as a result of requests being sent into info@vj-pro.com .... When submitting put "Request" into the subject line. As you can see, we rely on these and do read every single one. Thanks!

Maskrider 7:47 PM - 29 September, 2012

My bad I thought as soon as you guys sent the email it's already posted on the site.

Ill take a look at Khia. Thanks for the heads up.

Cool. For all I know the issue might be in the original...phrasing goes weird and it's awkward.

Better still if you can do a bit of remastering on the audio to punch up the low end. :-)

nik39 10:36 AM - 30 September, 2012

Mark, the original has already a weird counting.

popnwave 5:49 PM - 30 September, 2012

Maskrider 10:34 PM - 1 October, 2012

I just wanna ask when do you guys usually post the new vids?.....When it's ready or you guys have certain days to post them?

popnwave 11:13 PM - 1 October, 2012

I see them come in 2 waves usually.. Tues/Wed and then a Fri/Sat push.

Maskrider 11:15 PM - 1 October, 2012

I rarely see Saturdays.

Doug Howard 3:15 AM - 2 October, 2012

The standard monthlies are up now. Sorry for the minor delay. That R&B/Soul Essential ClassicVision that Maskrider was talking about is now up as well. We post pretty much daily now. Taking a little breather on Sundays and Mondays. BUT..... when something drops hard, oh well... "No rest for the wicked."

Thanks everyone!

Maskrider 12:02 AM - 3 October, 2012

Good to hear from you guys.

question for VJPRO mods

i did a search, diana king - say a little prayer (remix)

found it, but it seems like theres no preview or download link - means, i can't download it?

DJRemixEnt 8:25 PM - 3 October, 2012

i was going through the classic vision stuff and i noticed there are a handful of videos that still have skits and sound efx in them... i made a list of them. is there anyway you guys can fix them up so they are club friendly?

joe - i wanna know
ricky bell - when will i see you smile again
e40 feat. Suga T - sprinkle me

and if you guys could digitize:

janet jackson - someone to call my lover

That means it's only available by disc at the moment.

Eventually they'll probably have all of the old/classics stuff from disc in the smashvision format, but for now they're just available on disc.

same with the vids that DJremixEnt asked for.
Those are just mp4's made from the vobs that were put out on dvd and not put through the smashvision procedure yet.

i'm sure they'll have them up eventually or when there's a lull in new videos.

Steve Dub. 11:54 PM - 3 October, 2012

I love all these re-issues but I get pissed off when I'm downloading (and using a credit) for a video that I had already downloaded from the old Smash site. Some of them I don't even see a quality difference so it's basically a wasted credit.

ive caught a few of em that have different intros on the xtendz than the ones i originally dl'd from original smashvidz. but i think most of em are just gonna have the new screen play logo with little/no change at all in the visual/sound quality.

if im unsure, i just use the spotlight on my mac to do a quick search to make sure im not wasting credits.

djpuma_gemini 2:27 AM - 4 October, 2012

Some of the latest stuff that was previously on smash I think is just a chryon swap, anything from a few years back looks better and from 07 08, that's all redone (well looks redone) from a better source.

djpuma_gemini 2:27 AM - 4 October, 2012

^also use the preview to compare your version to the one on the site.

I think that's your task to make sure you dont download dupes.

Personally it's worth the download because I like the new chyrons much more than the old "smashvidz.com" chyron.

I prefer the new chyron over the old, so if I really want the vid I'll burn credits for it.

It might be my task but this is a major issue with this site, and one that no other professional site has. Frankly it's also one of the reasons I don't download as much from there anymore, I just got tired of either wasting my time checking or downloading duplicates.

Unless you are trying to screw your customers out of credits just fix the issue.

As a side note early on I had a few duplicates and they quickly refunded my credits, but it just became too much to deal with.

djpuma_gemini 5:10 PM - 4 October, 2012

I don't see how it's too much to deal with.

They merged with a company so the chyron has to change.

When they get time they put the old videos up with the new chryon.
If the video was just download from the old smash 8 months ago then it's probably just a new chyron.

Steve Dub. 6:24 PM - 4 October, 2012

It's very time consuming to go to their site and see what throwbacks they posted and then go to my library and see if I already have it from the old site THEN check and see if there is a difference in quality.

Millz 7:30 PM - 4 October, 2012

All audio and video content from Smashvidz ------> Smashvision has either had a workover or lookover. Things, some so small you wouldnt be able to tell, are changed in the audio and/or video from versions from years past. I dont get why this is a big concern. You can simply open up your scratch live and type of the name of the song, before you download something. The amount of video DJs this year vs 3 years ago has almost doubled. So a new video DJ starting out, is looking for a properly rendered file of a classic throwback video. I hate to be so blunt, but a couple of yall will find almost anything to hate or bitch about. You should be thanking the video community as a whole that you dont have to buy over-priced dvd discs of improperly audio and video rendered files, like many of us did back in the early 2000s. I wouldve been in heaven if a company like Smashvision was around in 2001.

nik39 7:43 PM - 4 October, 2012

The only Smash videos I will keep in the old format are the TNS versions :(

Millz 7:47 PM - 4 October, 2012

There is no need to TnS a video anymore, now that Mix Emergency has brought that technology to its software doing it in real time.

nik39 8:17 PM - 4 October, 2012

Explain.

You said TNS is difficult because you analyze each scene in a video and decide where to put the crop window at. ME can't do that.

Millz 8:18 PM - 4 October, 2012

I dont have any further information regarding this. Email for a more precise answer :)

nik39 8:27 PM - 4 October, 2012

No excuses accepted... haha ;)

Seriously.. ME doesn't replace ME. Just by adding a mirrored border or some fancy border stuff - or a fixed crop ... that doesn't replace TNS.

Millz 9:03 PM - 4 October, 2012

I did the same thing so no need to thank anyone. That's why I pay good money so YOU guys can edit.

And it's not too smart to call your customer complaints "bitching". It's YOUR job to listen to us and even if and when we aren't right you should be saying other things other than trying to call us out for "hating and bitching".

Get off your high horse buddy.

Millz 11:30 PM - 4 October, 2012

If you want you can send me your computer and I can sort them for you, and hand it back to you on a silver spoon, if you so desire. Maybe Ill even come out and DJ for you and give you the money, since you dont want to do any simple work. Ill throw all my personal mixes in there as well, since you twisted it around. Seriously dude, before you bash me, think about what you are saying. Any time I post here at the lovely Serato forum, I am speaking on MY behalf, not that of Smashvision. Yes I work for them, but you, of all people should know that I have my own strong opinions on many different aspects of the DJ world/business.

As far as my high horse, its not a horse, its a unicorn (get it right), and we are about to jump in the magic van and head to another continent to spin videos with the likes of elves, wizards and Tinkerbelle. Man she has some crazy ass dust.

In conclusion, its my personal opinion (not that of Smashvision, or others who may work there) that you are simply being lazy, and digging for something to bitch about. And Ive based this OPINION of mine by taking some time and reading other wack posts you have posted here on the Serato forum, and any normal person with an ounce of common sense, will sniff this out to be what it is, bullshit on your behalf.

Millz 11:33 PM - 4 October, 2012

As most of the Smashvision subscribers already know, and now those who do not, if you have ANY concern regarding Smashvision, please feel free to email at mail@smashvision.com or simply go to the site and fill out the contact us form. We have the very best customer service reps in the business, and its their job to make sure you are happy as a customer.

Steve Dub. 11:42 PM - 4 October, 2012

On my behalf your're a dick and you make smash look bad, saying "on my behalf" doesn't magically make it OK for you to be a dick to customers of a company you work for.

Stay classy Millz.

Ingo B 11:45 PM - 4 October, 2012

Remember when we all had to actually travel to a brick and mortar store and manually sort thru bins upon bins of records? 3 hours, average. Weekly. Several times a week on occasion.

Relatively speaking, searching via Explorer or Spotlight isn't that big of a deal in my opinion.

I'll see which of these I can get label clearances for tools or even single posts.

Eventually the entire catalogue will be converted, but we're talking about hundreds of thousands of labor hours here, plus clearance issues.

This is about a product that has already been purchased and then getting charged for a second time without knowing what you're paying for.

Do I check and see if I have the video? Of course I do. But I shouldn't have to. At least they can write a description about what they did to the "new" edit. Then I can make a judgement whether or not to download the newer edit. Making things easy for the customer should be something a company should WANT to do. Not criticise the customer.

Millz 12:06 AM - 5 October, 2012

Steve,

I understand where you are coming from, that much be told. The way you posted, made it seem more like a hate/bitching comment vs a legit concern. Posting about it in a 3rd party forum is prob not the most efficient way to get your problem resolved. May I suggest in the future emailing mail@smashvision.com and voice your concerns directly, rather than having to deal with me or others who may not have all of the right answers, positive or negative, in regards to your situation. And Im really not a dick, to know me is to love me, Im a pretty mellow cat. I just call bullshit when I see it, and if I hurt your feelings or made you mad, Im sorry, kinda.

D-Twizzle 12:19 AM - 5 October, 2012

maybe just an icon next to the track indicating there was an edit of it on the old site would help so people don't waste credits on videos that forgot they already had.

DJMisterE 12:22 AM - 5 October, 2012

I agree with this as a suggestion as well, and understand if implemented will take time.

Myself and uniq brought up some good concerns at the conference as well, like a cart system for which you can save videos for future downloads when you run out of credits, so you dont loose your place. The guys at the smash booth were really helpful with our questions. It's too bad i got sick the second day out.

Great suggestions, and nothing to really argue about.

Unless you guys are down to battle it out on the tables.. then all bets are off ;)

Rick Hodgkins 12:39 AM - 5 October, 2012

Wow, it seems like only yesterday we were waiting for a disc to come in the mail once a month or week scrambling to get it ripped and tagged in time for a gig or having to look like an ass explaining how video was always 30 days behind audio releases or longer if it dropped just after the monthly disc was released or 60 days in some cases.

Top that with paying top dollar for loads of tracks that we'd never play to be trumped by a yearly recap skimming the best of at 1/12th of the cost and they were singles with no intro and story line breaks halfway through.

Then trump that with a top 40 series that didn't always include charting urban tracks being told I/we needed to purchase a different series also.

The old SV was great for T40 and HH, but if you needed other genres, it was another problem.

How soon we forget, life is good now.

Thank you

This is an issue to take up with our CS dept. You will need to email them with a full list of the corrupt files and your login email so they can pull the history of your account and see what the problem was when each file was downloaded. mail@smashvision.com

OT,
I'm seeing this too and I think it has to do with SSL 2.4.3. It's not just smash vids that are getting corrupt, it's personal edits and edits from other sites.

tomatoslice 12:31 PM - 5 October, 2012

so back when this corrupt thing started a dev at serato mentioned to me via phone conversation serato believed they knew what element IN the video contributed to the corruption.
they also said after namm they would be willing to work with sites, like smash, to help create less corruptible files.
i wonder if they ever got to do that?

i am sure Millz, Marx or MisterE are aware of this.
if not, just to let you know serato, at one point, believed they knew what part of the vids lead to corruptions.

I dont have any issues with the final version either.

I meant 2.4.2 has some corrupt files. haven't jumped to 2.4.3 as I heard it broke ME compatibility.
Might try out RC3

yea, you cant use CDs in 2.4.3. Crashes SSL...also ME works very sluggish in final 2.4.3. Im on RC3 and its smooth as silk

Rick Hodgkins 8:49 PM - 5 October, 2012

All I got out of ME with 2.4.3 was black screens, went back to 2.3.3.

song is 2003. seems like i was playing it last month lol

i remember taking a wack at it to match the studio version. easily the most difficult video i have ever tried to match. the live performance, i think, was much faster and the drumming was not solid.
seemed like every 4 beats had to be synced so said "screw it, not worth the headache for a song i may play once every couple months."

popnwave 9:32 PM - 6 October, 2012

Gotta love live drumming and when bands change tempo big time in their life performances. Reminds me of when I was trying to do Talking Heads "Psycho Killer" off Old Grey Whistle Test. I think I need to pop an adderall before I try that again.

They're different acts...

"Dazz" was by Brick. 1976.

The Dazz Band did "Let It Whip" in 1982.

Would love to see a good live edit of Brick's "Dazz" (personally, I'd rather not have the whole audio quantized).

Dude, I had all but my fkin card number loaded ready to spend 200 on the 2nd half of the series when I called MS to make sure the track was on the series as they don't list them on the website.
I can't tell you how much shit I've coughed up to help people from the obscure tracks that never got picked up in my collection.

@Dj Mark, thanks for clarifying, that may be why the MS operator couldn't find it in the search.

And when you do get on its a bit trippy, download centre is abit messed up and some videos say they will take 5hours to download!

up for me and working normally.

DJMisterE 3:03 AM - 15 October, 2012

Hey guys, please be patient as we are undertaking yet another huge change with the site. Keep in mind this is all for YOU and our staff is working around the clock to get 2.0 up and running as soon as possible. It was either pull the entire site offline or leave it up as we make the transition. From other examples we've seen in the past, this course of action has the least amount of affect from alternative options. I'm very confident that all of you will be more than happy with the new site when it comes online.

Thank you again for your continued support and loyalty of our service. It does not go un-noticed.

FYI - keyfinder corrupts mp4 files! so after analyzing, then writing the key field, the mp4 got the corrupted icon in ssl 2.4.2.

solution, just analyze the key, then write the key MANUALLY in ssl.

it does if you set the mixed in key preferences to write the info in the key tag of the mp4, thats why you should set it to write the key to the comment tag and then copy n paste in the key tag from within SL.

LJ_WOOLSEY 8:28 AM - 17 October, 2012

No it does not works totally fine i use mik all the time and write the key to the inital key tag and there never corrupt. Something must be wrong with your files mp4 metadata.

That sounds like a bug too!

phatbob 10:51 AM - 17 October, 2012

I tag the key column on mp4 files all day every day with MIK 5, no corruption here.

The only ones I ever had issues with in the past were files with bad tag headers anyway, and I always put my videos through Media Rage first (and then fix them by doing a Save As in MpegStreamclip if needed) before putting them through MIK.

LJ_WOOLSEY 11:10 AM - 17 October, 2012

If my files arnt from vjpro i always put then through mpegstreamclip and do a save as to make sure there clean. Maybe this why i never have an issue.

phatbob 11:58 AM - 17 October, 2012

Certainly a lot of BlastVidz need that doing to them.

I lean towards trying to tag in MediaRage first, it means if the headers ARE good then I don't have to totally tag from fresh. And if they don't tag, I know they need fixing.

By doing this, I have completely eliminated XML/OVB filed from my Serato library.

Not yours though, Res-Q, your tag headers are always good. ;-)

blastvidz files are tagged in iTunes so they should not have any id3 issues. if they are, that most likely means that they were not tagged in iTunes. i can't speak for early blastvidz files, but going forward they will all be tagged in iTunes and you should not see this problem any more.

Dj Nyce 2:03 PM - 17 October, 2012

also i use MiK and i have key set to write to key and to comment. so far so good.

Off the top of my head, C-Flo & Phlipz... Guaranteed bad tag headers every time.

Res-Q 7:22 PM - 17 October, 2012

just to make things clear, I was answering "ral" (sorry for hijacking the thread btw) and we were talking about key finder, not mixed in key.
imo key finder does a better job than mixed in key.

@phatbob, thx for noticing. my head's not always right but my mp4s are always safe when I release them. I try to stay consistent so they are correctly tagged, key'd, cued, and analyzed.

If seen it when a few editors when they were releasing older content good to know they are all gonna tag the same way not though

Millz 4:54 AM - 22 October, 2012

When you use a free service, that has many people using different encoding/rendering methods, different platforms etc, you are setting yourself up for a live crash. I mean come on people....think ;)

phatbob 10:11 AM - 22 October, 2012

Of course that is true up to a point, Millz, but I don't think it's fair to rag on people for using BlastVids.

The more legitimate services like VJ-Pro become, the less subscribers will see things like bootleg remixes and mash-ups on there.

I'm a full-time DJ, but also do 'daddy-day-care' most of the week, I don't have time to be cutting my own edits for all the latest bootleg remixes I find on soundcloud every week.

So to have a crew like BlastVids collate the work of other editors for me is a godsend.

Sometimes a bit of work is neeeded to tweak things like tags, and some videos just aren't usable, but that's where my own experience of editing comes in. We have plenty of tools to check such things and fix them if need be.

Ultimately I think BlastVids is as valuable to the video community as something like soundcloud is to the audio community, and I'm grateful that they do what they do.

To borrow another user's phrase, "ay yep" to the above.

phatbob 10:37 AM - 22 October, 2012

Quite apart from anything else, I don't see why I should trust the work of a Crooklyn Clan editor any less on BlastVids than I would on CC. People like Joshua Carl and Steve R know how to encode a video properly.

popnwave 6:19 PM - 22 October, 2012

If you get their edits I wouldn't worry. It's just the "other" guys I wouldn't risk using w/o previewing the video first.

Bootleg remixes were always part of the fun of being a DJ even in the vinyl days. Video is no different, but with pirating software any dipstick can edit videos and put the garbage on a file locker to share with the world. If people actually CARED about their stuff, took the time to get a clear source, good audio, et al this conversation wouldn't be happening.

slimmjimm 11:05 PM - 24 October, 2012

So far, I like the contrast, and preview improvements. but the interface is a bit buggy, the program selection in the top left and info in the top right seems to keep "rubber-banding" when i scroll. It's also a bit slow to load when trying to scroll down the list at any speed other than geriatric.

I know that these may be being addressed but thought I'd give a heads up.

Culprit 11:07 PM - 24 October, 2012

I just noticed the rubber banding effects as well. I would recommend switching off that automatic drop down effect and let users hit the "+" sign for both options.

Hey Greg. The contact form on the site is not working, but wanted to ask a question:

Are your mp4 videos for your other series being processed in the method SmashVision uses from this point forward, or are they at 29.9 fps and without the 15 or so keyframes needed for best performance thru Serato Video or Mix Emergency? Let me know, specially since once your back catalog is digitized it would be great to have mp4 files in the Smashed format.

Thank you for your team's great work!

DJMisterE 5:04 AM - 25 October, 2012

Everything will be converted eventually. The merger is barely 6 months old now. Please be patient as we rebuild the library with tools and new encoded versions.

I was referring to the digital versions of all the other programs (like DanceVision, ClubVision, HitsVision, ClassicVision etc.) if the Smashed method of encoding is now being used on them (or within the last 2-3 months). Just curious since I would hate to use up a bunch of credits on stuff that isn't optimized from the other video series, specially since I would think that 6 months into the merger, the new encoding would be used across the board for all digital content posted from this point forward.

Thanks for the reply, Mister-E.

Shouldn't all the new stuff going up be done Smash-style? I understand the back catalog being off but I also want to know when I can trust NEW vids from the other programs to be up to Smash standards.

Once you confirm this, I'll start buying from the other programs.

I download from all digital catalog's and they are legit (since vj-pro launched). I do not understand what would be stopping you from downloading the content or waiting for smash to encode it their style.

Very complicated answer unfortunately and I can't go into too much more. If you're referring to re-encoding the old catalogue to SV standards you're talking about "YEARS" of work. Classics will pop up with tools in the SV playlist as they are obtained from source (SOURCE = offline master material)

There's plenty more in store for you... we're just getting started!

It's still one click. Just click on the version you would like by click on the actual button. You can change the behavior of this button to preview, add to queue or download instantly. This option is in the hover popup.

yeah it does the same thing on FF... i think you guys should delay it a little longer, so it doesnt pop up quite so fast,

it does get kind of annoying when you are moving your mouse back to the left side of the screen to watch another preview. and you pause for that split second

There will be many new options coming in the future. 2.0 is no where close to being completed. This is the first phase of many more to come. It took some months to get to this point, but once the dust is settled, you will see what I mean as things start to unfold.

LJ_WOOLSEY 6:52 PM - 12 November, 2012

Look foward to the improvements.

im sorry, i got confused. There are two sites.

vj-pro.com -> old site
vj-pro.net -> new site

Correct, .com will just redirect to .net once we're done updating....

Will you change the download queue page? I really like the old page because you can use downthemall on it. This does not work on the new page (I assume it's using flash or something) :( Downthemall is really a time safer. Zipped downlaod for every 15 files is not very comfortable :(

I am also using the same procedure. I want to be able to right click on the page and catch all the downloadable links.

My solution would be to possibly add hidden download links embedded within the page that downthemall can catch. Just an idea.

Indeed, a switch for the download center would be cake for those who prefer the old against the new.

marx 1:34 AM - 13 November, 2012

I know what your requesting, but for documenting purposes can you email me a screenshot of the exact option (right click all links) just so were in the same page. Once I get that I will talk to the developer and see when we can implement this.

marx 1:37 AM - 13 November, 2012

But I will tell you that we will have a much better solution for you to download videos once we start rolling into other phases of design. And no to the next question ;)

To the SmashVidz/VJ-Pro crew:

the new sight is bangin' and working great (thanx for all the hard work)... but i do have one gripe as far as using the zip download feature:

having to click each and every checkbox to select the 15 vidz that i want to download is a huge pain in the ass. i'll get the 15th box, and if i dont click on the "sweet" spot, all of the other boxes will uncheck, and ill have to start the process all over again.

Suggestions:

1. instead of displaying 25 vidz per page, only display 15 vidz per page and clicking the "zip selected" button should automatically choose the first fifteen and start the download process

2. make it so every other checked selection doesn't uncheck, if you acidentally miss the "sweet" spot of the check box

thanx guys... keep up the great work!!!

Guys... any slim chance to add the old download method? I have queued up quite a few files, and now I need to manually select all those files one by one, and divide them into packages of 15 files. :( The old download method which supported downthemall was much more convenient!

This could be a temporary workaround..:

DJMark 1:57 AM - 21 December, 2012

Mix Emergency 2.2 can help liven up the original Jaydee video....

If I never see another "house"/"EDM" video that incorporates:

1) club scenes as the majority or all of the video,
2) boring beach/pool/swimwear as the majority or all of the video,
3) product-placement for "Beats" headphones,
4) product-placement for Pioneer products...

...it will be too soon.

nik39 12:35 AM - 28 December, 2012

Any chance to speed up the previewing? Formerly it started to play back almost immediately. Now it will not start the previewing before the entire preview clip has been fully loaded. This increased the time to preview significantly :(

djpuma_gemini 1:17 AM - 28 December, 2012

It's probably because some people wanted to have a preview that can jump around instead of the first 90 seconds. I'm assuming this might be causing the issue, but we can't have everything we want.

It does take long, but at least we can look at different parts of the video now.

C'mon Puma, we both know that this is a lame excuse ;) Nowadays you can start to stream before the entire content has been loaded.

djpuma_gemini 4:03 PM - 28 December, 2012

It also might be that it streams full quality. So if you're already downloading a ton of
Vids it will slow down your stream.

nik39 5:24 PM - 28 December, 2012

I doubt that it streams at full quality..if it does, they need to change it, because no one needs to have a preview in full quality. Sacrificing quality for speed makes sense.

And c'moooooooon...! Puma!! Of course I am not downloading anything at the same time ;) You should know me better.

Nothing just that it takes longer.
I download 12 at a time vs zipping them up.
I'd rather have one out of twelve fail then 1 zip with twelve inside.
It also takes longer to download 12 vs 1 or 2.

I think there is a misunderstanding. What I meant was:

I was complaining about the slow previewing. While previewing I was not downloading any other files. So it can't be slowness caused by simultaneous downloads.

Whenever I have the chance I try to download multiple files at the same time. I hate clicking around to select files again.

Xtendamix's queue system is sloooow (cause I can download only one file at the same time) but it doesn't need any further manual interactions. Whereas in VJP I have to click on all the files manually *again* after I have added them to the queue. That's my gripe currently.

djpuma_gemini 10:43 PM - 28 December, 2012

aaah ok.

I have a problem where say I'm manually downloading files and I click on clean, dirty, xtendz clean and xtendz dirty, only one file will download and the rest will get stuck in my queue.

Now the .net site cuts off at 1 month. I can't see anything earlier than 12/04/12. Is there any way to see the full history list?

James T 11:37 PM - 5 January, 2013

Hey Guys,

I had a suggestion... In the Queue, when you have your videos ready to pick for download, there is an option to view 25, 50, 100, or 200 on the page. Seeing as you can only zip 15 at a time, it would be helpful to have one of those view options as 15 that way you can select all at the top & just zip... It would be so much quicker that selecting all on the 25 view page & then deselecting 10 files or just plain old selecting 15 of the 25 files on the page. Just looking to speed up the process.

Hope that makes sense... Gotta stop posting after drinking Mexican Bulldogs lol

Same track, just doesn't have the sound effects over some of the f-bombs. Notably, ODB's verse ("first things first, man, you f____ with the worst, stickin pins in ya head like a f___ nurse").
Watch www.youtube.com 2:00 mark

Although those sound effects are a classic part of the track, I always like to watch people's expression when those effects are gone. One of the first edits I made when I got my Wu DVD!

djpuma_gemini 2:58 AM - 1 March, 2013

I saw that too and the issue I'm assuming was that the "clean" version wasn't clean.
Not sure if de la released one or maybe there was an issue with their clean audio.
Either way, I'll still play the dirty at spots.

slimmjimm 1:02 PM - 1 March, 2013

I can't really remember specifically a clean version, but they did play it on MTV, so something must have been done.

It was more for personal enrichment, there's no place that I can currently play anything like that unfortunately, except for one of the teachers at a high school gig that I have coming up always asks me to drop in one song from this era during the beginning.

If you're referring to the Trending or Charts then yes that is strictly based off downloads. Custom Playlists are based off more complexed data compiling.

Are you referring to a specific playlist Puma?

What makes you unrelaxed with there service Maskrider?

I personally love there service. Quick to get video out when I request them. Always on top of new tracks. They do have some short comings but speedy ness has never been one.

Hey Xtendamix guy, I know i can be kinda short with you sometimes when I call or email, but I'm never rude. I am the customer though and I do feel your response to come across as rude on occasion. I never ask for too much, but i find it funny when I ask for something and you tell me flat out NO then do exactly that thing a week later.

Another question for you. Who choose what remixes you create videos for? Is that a company thing, or do you have working DJs on staff letting you know what ones might be worth it?

We have 4 editors, one devoted to Urban and one devoted to EDM. The other 2 fill the requests and handle the mainstream stuff. The EDM editor works by checking the U.K. charts and adds based on what is big over there. He also fills the requests that are more rhythmic and remixes.

Code:E, I know who you are and I do what I can about your requests. I do my best to fill them above most peoples. Sometimes we can't get things at first, but we find the source later. If things are available digitally, it's easy. Some things can take up to 2 weeks to get digitized if they are on beta tapes. We do keep to two requests per week, because we can barely keep up. There are hundreds of requests that do come up and we try to accommodate them all. If you have a suggested version, let us know

someone please confirm this;

at the Queue page
set the view for 15 videos
left click the X to Download/ Remove
it should instantly remove the vid.

now set the view for 25 or more videos
left click the X to Download / Remove
this time (on my end) clicking the X sets a check mark in the selected square.
that seems like a glitch (at least from my understanding of the site).

now going back to the 15 view clicking the X also sets a check mark.
only refreshing seems to fix the issue.

Groups like BBD, Guy, Levert etc took the word "remix" seriously, and actually enhanced the song. Big differences between the album and extended versions back then. It'd be nice to have some of those set to video.

Really, so your telling me that if you got permission have some video on your site, you have to get additional permission cut down its length and post a short Snipz version?

DJMisterE 11:00 PM - 27 March, 2013

For Remixes Yes. They are purchased 3rd party licensed pieces of work. Remixes still fall into a new developing category with the RLI. It's not so much of putting the work in with our contacts as it is to decide how much extra workload to put on to our staff. If there isn't a huge demand for the product it's not worth the time.

i usually would not play less than 2 mins of a remix (unless it has too much hype or fatman scoop) but just thinking about djing and being creative with it (as you are should be) there are plenty of instances where a snip of a remix could be used.

Don't know if this sounds rediculous but any chance of getting instrumental version for certain few videos?

My record pool refuses to ask the record labels for instrumentals that they aren't provided with from the get go. Makes editing songs/videos for teen events hard to do without some songs coming out pretty sh*tty. I always attempt to use the intros in place of instrumentals but it doesn't always work well.

Can't you get instrumentals from an audio pool to make your edits? Or just remux with clean versions of the audio? Instrumental videos are a waste of bandwidth and hard drive space....

An instrumental that just hits the major moments of the track (which aren't in the clear on a xtendz) as a series of 16s could be pretty short and visually covered using b-roll from the video. I would be REALLY interested in these.

djpuma_gemini 4:23 AM - 9 April, 2013

load inst of song, assign video to it = done.
The time it would take to remove all the lip flap for an inst is rediculous.
Or just take the intro and use that looped over the inst.

Yea exactly. I'd personally rather they spend any additional resources on more remixed videos, rather than "fringe" stuff like instrumentals that may not get that much use.

i am not sure i follow here.

what you are saying is;
if there was an instrumental for Billie Jean (which there is) you just want a 16 second or so version with footage from the video.

is that correct?

It's really about filling out your catalog with videos that at some point will not be available. You can't play what you don't have... Nobody's saying they don't wan't the new tracks, just a focus on bringing back long lost tracks. I would guess that the majority of DJs, overall, are probably playing open format, Top 40 base with some older tracks mixed in. I still want all the new hot tracks, anything more obscure I will ask for if it is not available. I also use multiple services to cover any holes in my collection.
Also, Young One, one day you will be older and probably playing the Electric Slide and Wild Thing in 2035 at someone's wedding every week ;-)

If you're doing an 80's or 90's or "retro" theme night, video is a huge plus.

I'd actually hate to think of doing any pop-based retro night without having videos...people really react to it.

They also really react to some of the less-overplayed oldies (and you can't sustain a lasting retro theme night by playing just the big hits over and over), thus the need for option "A".

DJ GOODFOOT 4:12 AM - 23 July, 2013

A for me followed closely by B.

Much how the 90's is the golden age of hip hop, the 80's were the golden age of videos. MTV was at it's peak and had a huge audience. What helped was that it didn't have any competition from the internet and it was the only cable outlet geared towards the younger demographic.

Many artists put real thought into the storyboard of a music video and used it as a platform to enhance the meaning of the song. Michael Jackson was the King and Thriller is still one of the best videos ever made. Take On Me will always be my favorite though...

Hitman303 9:02 PM - 23 July, 2013

It would be really cool if a lot of the 80's videos were upconverted or remastered so they looked better. Some of them already look pretty good but there plenty that could look better.....and xtend versions would be nice.

Doesn't that pretty much do the same thing as any decent video software does when playing a 360/480p video and sending out something higher?

I can definitely see how converting from original FILM sources could give better results, but I have a feeling those will be rare-to-never.

My understanding is that most of the older videos that were shot to film originally (and of course many were not) were then edited/post-produced as video...so for those you'd have to re-create all the original edits/effects. Even as detail oriented on quality as SV is, I'm guessing that would be the kind of project way outside their scope (mostly because of cost/logistics). It would be awesome if I'm wrong about that.

A lot of the newly "remastered" DVD sources from the LABELS actually look worse in some ways than what came out earlier by the same artists. Two major artists from the 80's starting with "M" immediately come to mind. My point is that even the labels often don't seem to be making too much effort about the quality of back-catalog music-video releases.

I miss the days of getting those 2-3 disc sets of remixes for a song from the label - complete with dubs, instrumental, & acapella. Even though we can do wild, crazy stuff on the fly with the software we use today, there is still nothing like having extra original material to work with.

Yep an herein lies the problem.. unless some group (the band, the producer, or director) is going to do the COOL thing and remaster stuff from film, there is no point in making someone download a funky looking 720p video from the 70s, 80s, 90s.

That is still a Hollywood film treatment and worst of all I don't think most groups still even have the film masters. Every time I hear about these guys they just never kept originals of their own stuff thinking it would be available forever.

With pop 80's stuff, playing some of the original 12-inch remixes for a mainstream 2013 dance floor would probably produce a lot of blank stares. Even at the time of original release some of those remixes were dancefloor-unfriendly (and in some way compromised the original production values) and people preferred the originals. Huey Lewis "Power Of Love" and Pat Benetar "Invincible" are two such examples that come immediately to mind.

Can you guys re-do the audio for Snoop Dogg Gin & Juice Single?

I need the single that just starts with the bass line and not the guy pissing sound effect from the actual album. I like to scratch it in with the bass line if that makes any sense.

Hey, so a few weeks (months?) ago, I asked about missing cue points. I got around to searching, and it seems like everything since May or so is affected. The files work fine, just missing the points. Are you guys setting them via ScratchLive, and if so, could it be that my version (2.0) is too old to read them (assuming you're using the latest rev)?

And before you ask, I use 2.0 b/c my Mac is from 2007, it's stable with VSL, and I'm old and set in my ways.

This has been an ongoing project for me to retag all of my older MP3s with release date. Very time consuming to look them up yourself. Then there is the issue of determining Single Release Date or use the Album release date - some of those differ by a year or more.

What's with the HD old school vids? How is that possible?

djpuma_gemini 5:01 PM - 11 October, 2013

I think they're upscaling the videos.
I've done it with a few videos.
I don't think it's necessarily HD, but it just adds more pixels to match the 1280x720 resolution.
Might look a little crisper, but doesn't do any magic to make it true HD.
Glad they're doing that though because they do look better than their SD counterparts.

Steve Dub. 5:03 PM - 11 October, 2013

I would like to see a comparison. I don't want to waste a credit on a video I already have for a small increase in quality.

SV magic is all I can say really. But seriously they're some very important steps to make this happen, correctly anyway. At the end of the day its funny what we all call "HD" these days, I like like to refer to such things as "Fake HD", one example of this would be Streaming HD services that use lower bitrates or variable bitrates to adjust for bandwith allotment. Although these services are indeed using HD resolutions can we agree that they're really HD. We all have our opinions but at the end of the day they have set the bar for what HD really is or isn't. Now with that bar set kind of low in my opinion there are techniques we can use (with the right sources) to surpass this bar and deliver "HD" content which indeed does look better than a big chunk of the HD sources that are fulfilled from the majors today. Is it really HD...let your eyes be the judge of that, and thats why I call it SV Magic.

cant wait for that day to happen. Whitelabel is already sorta using this technique

I don't think know white label is using that technique. They are embedding the other audio stream inside a tag. That's why stripping tags renders the files unusable.

That would reduce file size too, right? Drives fill up fast, so this would be a good thing.

djpuma_gemini 4:32 PM - 7 November, 2013

A few years back I would render out the video edit with the clean audio and then render out the dirty audio and use the clean video associated with the dirty audio to play a dirty version.
I got worried that it would stress the hdd too much and gave up on it, it does work and there's only a slight delay if any.
I believe that was Lidz or another Smashvidz idea.

I'll usually listen and get the single when it has a 'natural' xtendz type intro. Fine China is a good example of this. The Single is easy to mix, and sounds a little more natural. Otherwise it's always the Xtendz and the Acapella

djpuma_gemini 3:02 AM - 11 November, 2013

xtendz mostly.
Some singles, but only for classics (hip hop)

Ladies love that song. too bad every audio version out there sounds horrible. Must have been some bedroom mastering, same with the LL remix.

Unlikely. This was recorded in Jamaica.

And yes it has been in the top downloads since posted. So have many other tracks from 10 years ago. Hence why we have a ton of them coming out now.

What did you guys think of the Trap vs Trap playlist?

Steve Dub. 3:53 PM - 26 November, 2013

I liked the trap playlist. Found a couple vids I didn't know about.

djpuma_gemini 6:04 PM - 26 November, 2013

Is there a way to see what the top tracks are for each genre.
When I search or filter, it only gives me like 3 vids in dance/club genre.

Even if I set it for 30 days it doesn't work as I expect.
I'll try to look at it later and describe more what I mean.

-sigh- I can't wait for this genre to go away. while I enjoy some of the remixes, it tends to be a douchebag magnet in the clubs I've been to in Florida and Nevada the past 2 years.

So can we get rid of rap and hip hop too? And also Edm please. Because these music genres seem to be a douchebag magnet too ;)😉

Steve Dub. 7:52 AM - 27 November, 2013

Lol good point Nik.

Trap is the only EDM sub genre besides nu-disco (which isn't great for peak hour) that I actually like to play right now.

Joshua Carl 5:57 PM - 27 November, 2013

Ive been using trap as a pallette clenser.
its a good way to rotate the floor, make some 22 yr old edm-bros happy, and you can pretty much go anywhere from it, not from a mathematical standpoint.
Reset for another direction in your set.
but from the idea that pretty much anything is going to have more energy, be recognizable
and not be such a cleche'

of course this depends on the room your in.

I'll take playable (note, I said *playable*) versions of Ashford & Simpson "Found A Cure" and Frankie Smith "Double Dutch Bus" in lieu of any freebies.

Special credit if you provide them at their original tempos, and without any "warping" artifacts...

What am I saying, of course you'd do it that way...why would anyone want to just randomly speed up classics like those?

We didn't speed up the Found A Cure, we slowed the video down. Audio is from itunes. Frankie Smith we did speed it up a bit

I'm not sure what their current pricing is, but understand how our credit system works. All of the versions that come with a video cost 1 credit. So a SINGLE, XTENDZ & SNIPZ would only cost 1 credit. If there is a CLEAN & DIRTY that's also included. So with this example you'd get 6 videos for 1 credit. So it's really oranges and apples here.

We are 52 Euros or 40 Pounds per month. I'm not sure where you saw $70. If you can afford, we recommend you use both. Both pools are uniquely different in their variety and formats. Then you can have the best of both worlds

LJ_WOOLSEY 9:47 PM - 15 January, 2014

Im having a lil issue with some of the snipz...

For instance

Thrift shop snipz after the first verse it goes into the end of the song instead of just the chorus and then the outro. I would much rather mix out after the first hook instead of the last hook of the song.

Same thing with Chris Brown's Fine China the snipz ends with the last chorus when the first chorus sounds better!

Just my 2 cents

Just my 2 cents

The big problem is the "sounds better" Everyone is going to have their own opinion of what sounds / works better. Sometimes we have to make hard choices bases on the layout of the track and how it can be cut and pasted in an audio design.

The proper layout that I created for Snipz when I first invented them years ago was:

8 Bar Intro - First Verse - First Chorus - 8 Bar Outro

Sometimes the audio editor will make a call and they will use a different element. For tracks that are more popular and that have multiple artists we try to make several versions of Snipz for that specific track.

Hope that helps

DJMark 4:09 AM - 20 January, 2014

I could use a good Snipz for Positive K "I Got A Man".

For most stuff I don't feel any real need for Snipz cause I can just as easily mix out of the first chorus as the last, but the Positive K song seems more tricky than most.

Anyone ever see:

Death From Above 1979 - Sexy Results (MSTRKFT Remix Edit)

in any of the pools? It's from 2005, it's an amazingly awesome/freaky video and I don't know if it ever got any love in the US. Maybe Canuckland because they are a Canuck band.. Probably one of my favorite indie videos from that era.

Hi guys, Is there any changes to your service at all? Still $19.99 for one month and 5 credits? plus $99.99 for 100 credits

No, that pricing is correct.

Quote:

Xtendamix is $70 for one month and 100Credits.

I'm not sure what their current pricing is, but understand how our credit system works. All of the versions that come with a video cost 1 credit. So a SINGLE, XTENDZ & SNIPZ would only cost 1 credit. If there is a CLEAN & DIRTY that's also included. So with this example you'd get 6 videos for 1 credit. So it's really oranges and apples here.

I think this is already released. Would be dope to obtain a vj-pro source quality rip though. Especially for the Spider Version, there is an official video out of that one too but I have not looked for a higher quality version of it.

Maybe someone know's spider and he can release it?

Has that video been fixed?

Also could you kindly fix the Chris Brown - Run It remix ft. Juelz Santana? The remix single video version originally has a 4 bar intro. This version here has not 4 bar intro. (There is also a "whoo" sample from Scott Storch played at the very beginning).

nik39 2:55 PM - 17 May, 2014

Are there any know issues with previewing the videos? I remember that Chrome was the browser recommended to get around slow previewing issues. Personally I think the preview samples still take too long to load. Having them in lower quality (which will reduce size and improve access times) like Xtendamix would be better, IMHO.

The problem I am facing now (well... at least for a few months now) is that if you skip to the middle of the song the playback stutters heavily. It even pauses for seconds and sometimes never catches up. I have tried this on various machines, powerful machines, machines with a good internet connection - all exhibit same issue. I don't think it has to do with caching or slow internet connection anyway, because I can see how the cache has been filled up.

Does anyone else have this issue?

ChrisD 9:35 PM - 20 May, 2014

DJ Icce,

You've repeatedly posted links to the same video service.

I can only assume that you have some association with them, which means that you're advertising.

We've always been consistent with uploads, the only time it's ever fluctuated is when a sponsored event is taking place or when an uncontrollable situation arises such as a harddrive crash, database corruption etc. Last week we had one of these uncontrollable situations take place. On Wednesday May 21st we lost one of our close teammates which many of you personally know. SmashVidz production was completely down on Wednesday May 21st, Thursday May 22nd, Tuesday May 27th & Wednesday May 28th. We'll be fully back online on Monday June 2nd.

Any chance of getting some yacht rock tracks? Think: Rupert Holmes "Escape", Hall/Oates "Kiss On My List", Christopher Cross "Run Like The Wind", etc.

I actually get good responses from this genre when timed right.

popnwave 8:24 PM - 1 September, 2014

Yacht Rock is great and I've been beefing up my selection, it's a shame that the Hall & Oates mentioned, only seems to exist in a live performance (I've seen it on VH1-C and Much Music over the years). And same thing with Christopher Cross stuff, I only find live, Solid Gold, type performances and nothing conceptual :/

qHD? 540? Hmm...does the "Q" stand for "quasi"?

djpuma_gemini 3:14 PM - 4 September, 2014

Was just gonna ask the same thing. I see it's 960X540, is that to make it not as strenuous as a 1280x720P video file?
Quality is excellent and not as big as a 720P video.
I like em so far.
I think the qhd is for quarter hd where 720P is half and 1080P is full (assuming)

popnwave 3:45 PM - 4 September, 2014

That would make sense.. is this older or newer material. Haven't had a chance to log in recently.

Joshua Carl 4:32 PM - 4 September, 2014

yes, qHD is for quarter of a Full HD (1080p) frame, in a 16:9 aspect ratio.
I haven't seen this format in a while though.. I know the PSP community used to prefer it.

not to be confused with QHD!

Quasi is actually a great nickname!

quasi-

seemingly; apparently but not really.

related to quasi:

supposedly, seemingly, apparently, allegedly, partially, to a certain extent, half, relatively, comparatively.

This wasn't the intention, but it was a result.

Quote:

qHD will yield roughly about the same visual quality as the 720 HD file that was derived from a lossy source, but have almost identically the same file size/latency/cpu load as SD files...in most cases.

Quote:

I like em so far.
I think the qhd is for quarter hd where 720P is half and 1080P is full (assuming)

qHD is a display resolution of 960x540 pixels, which is exactly one quarter of a Full HD (1080p) frame, in a 16:9 aspect ratio.

Here's a reference:

en.wikipedia.org

But when referring to a "quarter" we're talking about total pixel comparisons. Here's a better perspective, qHD has half the vertical resolution of a Full HD file, 540 vs 1080.

Let's not get confused with QHD (Quad HD)! But you never know what the future holds ;)

720 videos will not be completely phased out, but as we move forward the resolution of the videos will be determined by the source.

It's not a third choice, we're actually eliminating options and breaking it down into two, when applicable. Pick your poison, high quality or REAL high quality.

Please do a side by side comparison with a video that has a 720, 540 & 360...then it will make more sense. I believe you'll like the results when you do :)

DJMark 8:43 PM - 5 September, 2014

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Reading between the lines, what I kind of get is that some videos (quality-wise) really don't justify the file-size/load from having it in a full 720p file, so the 540p gives most of the "higher res" benefits for those files while being smaller/lighter-load.

Wondering if maybe some of the "up-conversions" you've been doing with old videos are also going to be 540 instead of 720?

Talla 11:34 PM - 5 September, 2014

I see way more details in 720p than qHD if i compare identical frames especailly if you have outdoor scenes.

Let your customers decide and offer QHD and 720p same time instead of cutting off options for your clients who need the best available. I dont care about file sizes.

Yes and no, remember the file size and load was just a result not the reason. We're basically encoding videos to represent their true source image.

Quote:

No, we're by no means replacing 720 with 540. There will be plenty of 720p Oldschool/Classics coming your way. And now because we implemented qHD, you're going to see other Classics at 540 that normally would've been 360 ;)

In reference to the above link...yes, this would be correct in a world where every file that's used is PRISTINE. Unfortunately, this is not how the music business functions.

I only recall one user that complained that our HD videos should have a bitrate of 20kbit/s. That's just not realistic in the VJ software world, not now.

Quote:

Offering both qHD and 720 doesn't make much sense as there isn't much difference between them (reference the above examples). qHD isn't a replacement for 720p, you will still see all these resolutions:

360
480
540
720
1080

As we're in a competitive market and always being imitated I can't go into great details about our next phases, but I believe our track record give us enough wiggle room for some faith. We've been doing this for almost a decade now and have always been known for having the best quality in the market. We have no intention in changing that, I'll even go as far as saying we will be known for making available the best quality music videos in the world, and that's no hype. We believe in what we do and take great pride in our product, others just call us anal, and we're good with that...giggity ;)

I have the VJ Pro 720 for Wasted & the new Taylor Swift, but when the remixes came out they're in qhd. IMO, the 720 colors appear more vibrant & sharper than the qhd. Smash has always been about quality, the 720 was perfect. As a customer, my vote would be keep the 720 as the qhd seems like lower quality for the same credits we paid before.

Culprit 4:11 AM - 8 September, 2014

The 720 wasn't perfect, it's not a true representation of a HD file.

I'm curious Danny are you able to play the 1080 videos we release? Your system should be able I keep up as they're encoded at the same bitrate as the 720p.

Talla 6:42 PM - 8 September, 2014

The chyrons are no longer sharp now in qHD so i see a lower overall quality.
Just to compare to the 720p.

Talla 6:49 PM - 8 September, 2014

And i still dont get whats much better with qHD. Depending on what sources?`The label sources are 1080p. Why do they release in 1080p or pro res then if the true format should be qHD?

Culprit 7:37 PM - 8 September, 2014

QHD is not as taxing on the computer since its 1/4 1080p and it makes a more economically sized file compare to a 1080 and 720. It is in no way a replacement, only and option, which is a good option for those running older machines and software. That's all.

For ultimate versatility I would even push to have cabac off since the file size difference vs quality is hardly noticeable, but it opens up a wide arrange of older laptops to run video flawlessly, like older dual core processors. But with today's requirements, its not really necessary anymore.

Also, just cause a file is sent in 1080P doesn't mean it has the bitrate to back it up. 1080P is just 1080 pixels per square inch, but doesn't show how good the quality is.

Some labels or artists get cheap ass cameras to shoot videos and think a DSLR is good to film their video with.
They also might not supply them with a high bitrate source and just give vj-pro a couple hundred MB file.

And i still dont get whats much better with qHD. Depending on what sources?`The label sources are 1080p. Why do they release in 1080p or pro res then if the true format should be qHD?

I think Marx already explained the situation pretty well. They're making a judgement call based on what they see in the original. Makes perfect sense to me...I see plenty of 720p and 1080p videos where (for whatever reason) there is not 720 or 1080 lines' worth of real resolution in the source. Don't be fooled by the text chyrons, look at the actual videos...

I can't imagine VJ-Pro or anyone else releasing in ProRes format. We'd be having videos about 10 times the size of equivalent MP4 files, with not very much real-world quality benefit.

I *would* like to see videos with lossless or lpcm audio at some point...that's actually an issue I care more about then 540 vs 720 or whatever, although I want things to look as good as possible.

Talla 9:30 PM - 8 September, 2014

Really appreciate all your feedbacks.
I am sure very open for changes if i understand such.
Sure i can accept the chyrons as they are now although they are not that crisp as the 720p ones anymore.
If this will stay as it is.
On a huge LED it still looks good.
Sad its not so good anymore on our Venue walls now.
Sure just a chyron.
Great chyrons to be honest.
Perfect Font and Slim.

The Taylor Swift one qHD Chyron looks really bad.
Only one so far which has such flaws with the new qHD.

I have zero less debates on the content or encodings.
Just brilliant

cheers

i'm a big fan of cabac. if you disable cabac, cavlac is used which less efficient. another downside is that trellis quantization requires cabac. when trellis is disabled, motion estimation is not optimized.

Culprit 11:54 PM - 8 September, 2014

Truth, less efficient. Some reports state up to 10% compression saving, but I tested around 40 to 50 high quality vob sources in 2008 during the whole pc vs mac era, and found I only saved between 6-12 mb's per file at 3k resolution, but every single file I encoded with calvc worked flawlessly on my alienware pc windows xp, all the files encoded with cabac were useless.

CALVC Wikipedia -> "CAVLC requires considerably less processing to decode than CABAC, although it does not compress the data quite as effectively. CAVLC is supported in all H.264 profiles, unlike CABAC which is not supported in Baseline and Extended profiles."

CABAC Wikipedia -> "In H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, CABAC is only supported in the Main and higher profiles of the standard, as it requires a larger amount of processing to decode than the simpler scheme known as Context-adaptive variable-length coding (CAVLC) that is used in the standard's Baseline profile."

This, however, was only an issue in the past, and should not be applied to newer laptops.

Dj Nyce 1:12 AM - 9 September, 2014

cavlac lol

djpuma_gemini 8:27 PM - 9 September, 2014

I'm all about Cabac.
Been using it for years, not even sure if I ever had calvc enabled.

Are you guys doing anything to the audio? Some of these tracks sound kind of filtered to me. Kind of hard to explain but I've already noticed it on a few tracks. I downloaded that new mark ronson mystikal track and when I went to compare the plain audio track I have from the album to the audio from the smash video the snares on the smash video sound filtered. Same thing with a couple other tracks.

Steve Dub. 3:23 AM - 31 January, 2015

Oh the other song was Camron What Means The World.

Same thing. I compared it to my audio track and the smash sounds like there is a filter on it.

Anyone else notice this?

marx 3:28 AM - 31 January, 2015

Can you send me a pack of the files you're comparing. marx at smashvision dot com

Steve Dub. 4:25 AM - 31 January, 2015

Will do Marx

Culprit 4:47 AM - 31 January, 2015

Sounds like a limiter was used. I was able to tell, only minor though

DJMark 1:40 AM - 1 February, 2015

I hear a similar dulling on the recently-uploaded Puff Daddy "Been Around The World".

The audio I have from iTunes (256k AAC) has nice crisp-sounding drum hits, the SV audio has noticeably duller sound. I can hear a big difference even just on MBP speakers.

There's a distressing number of older songs that sound like vinyl rips. Kelis "Milkshake" is one particularly bad-sounding example.

Steve Dub. 4:02 AM - 1 February, 2015

Okay so I am not crazy Sweet hopefully the smash guys will update these videos I didn't even think about the fact that I could notice them on my computer I don't even want to know what they will sound like on a big system

DJMark 6:00 AM - 1 February, 2015

I bet part of the issue (at least with older stuff) is for the instrumentals etc used for xtendz/snipz/etc is difficulty finding digital sources for the audio.

HAH! That reminds me of that site Krazytoons that put out a ton of 90s rap remix videos, all of the audio is ripped from vinyl, and you can tell. While I love analog as much as anyone, the pops and clicks aren't what I want unless it was an intended effect.

Getting the record wet with some bottled water helps alot (old reggae 45 trick)

Well...I don't think SV/VJ-Pro really deserves any comparison with Krazytoons (LOL).

I am glad to see that some others here are detail-oriented about audio quality.

For the older stuff, I know sourcing non-lossy digital audio can be a problem (especially where instrumentals/dubs/acapellas never came out on CD). I'm less understanding about why newer stuff should be degraded in any way.

My primary suspects about some of the newer stuff with sound "differences" would be:

1) any kind of "warping"/"quantizing" function that may be enabled in audio editing software (losing the transients is always an issue with that);

2) use of lossy-encoded source material and the resulting transcoding;

3) sample-rate conversions...some video software, such as older Final Cut versions, really wants audio at 48kHz sample-rate, so you can end up in a scenario where you feed it 44.1kHz source, it gets sample-rate converted to 48, then back down to 44.1 when encoded to MP4.

I'm obviously just speculating here...

Question re: the email to sign up for Smashvision. Does that replace VJ-Pro.net's subscription or is it a different, separate deal? If I choose to only keep VJ-Pro.net, will I have access to Smashvision's Xtendz, Snipz, etc?

Unless I missed it, the email didn't really mention these details.

SmashVision.com is simply another model, content will differ slightly as you only have access to the VJ Tools.

Yes, the VJ-Pro.net model hasn't changed and is keeping stride with new and exciting developments in the works.

It really depends on your downloading habits.

The old Smash database was imported into VJ-Pro when we merged, so you should be able to login to VJ-Pro. If you can login to your VJ-Pro account then use those credentials initially here to bypass the registration process:

www.smashvision.net

If not you can simply just register.

Still having issue with the audio. Have you guys figured it out?

I just downloaded Usher OMG and compared it to the video I downloaded from you years ago (Millz mix) waveform looks exactly the same so I know it's the same edit but the old one sounds find while the new one sounds like it has that filter on it.
