Operation Manual

VirtualDJ features a comprehensive set of audio and video effects and transitions which can
be accessed by clicking the “Effects” tab on the lower window. The effects list is displayed on
the left side of the window and each of these effects can be activated for both decks. Multiple
effects, both audio and video; can be applied.
To use an effect, select the effect and activate it on whichever deck the effect should be
applied. This is done by clicking on one of the two “Activate” buttons in the middle panel of the
window. The button will light up showing activated. Deactivate the effect by clicking on the
“Activate” button again.
The parameters for the selected effect are displayed on the right panel of the window. The
parameters will change depending on which effect is selected. Adjust the parameters by
moving the faders of the associated parameters.
Effects can also be used from the effects panel on the deck controls.
Different effects can be selected using the pop-up menu. Enable and disable
effects by clicking on the displayed effect title. If using the effects panel on
the deck control, multiple effects can not be activated for that deck – this
panel only allows activation of one effect at a time.
In addition to mixing traditional audio, VirtualDJ makes it possible to mix video content with the
ease and familiarity of a DJ interface. Instead of audio files (.mp3, .wma, .m4a, etc.), video files
(.avi, .mpg, .wmv, .vob, etc.) can be played. VirtualDJ’s interface provides all the same
features to mix, scratch, effect, and transition video content, just as with audio content.
Also, you can link video files to audio files to produce a video enhanced audio combination.
Using either the drag-n-drop preview windows, keyboard shortcut action, or a skin provided
link object any type of supported video file can now be linked with an audio track.
