One of the most important features in Video-SL is its “set video track” feature, which allows you to link any video file to an existing audio file. Video support, and linking video to audio While Serato has no immediate plans to allow for user-custom transitions and effects, they did tell us that adding new ones is relatively easy, and they say they hope to add new content based on feedback from the Scratch LIVE forums.

Serato’s VIDEO-SL plug-in promises to change that, when coupled with their Scratch LIVE software and the Rane TTM-57SL mixer. But visualists have had no real mature option. DJs are spoiled for choice when it comes to melding vinyl turntablism skills with digital mixing.
