VJDirector

VJDirector has been designed as an easy alternative for live media production. The suite comprises multiple utilities for multimedia editing, recording and broadcasting.

Installing the package on the system is a simple task that can be completed even by less advanced users without facing any problems.

As soon as launched there is the possibility to start a new project or continue an existing one. If all the devices are loaded (video camera, CCD camera, CATV, VGA) you can start working with the application.

The set of utilities available in the bundle include a special effect switching unit, CG editor, virtual cam, a subtitling tool as well as video recorders and a network broadcasting system.

The interface is a bit daunting for the inexperienced user and the help file does not shed too much light unless you are already familiar with this sort of applications. All the tools are available in the same screen and as content is funnelled in you can modify it.

In the upper part of the application window there are the output options (channel record, WMV, MPEG2, MP4, AVI, Decklink), which include multiple options, each with their own encoding settings.

The same area is occupied with the monitors and the audio mixer. The three available channels are present lower in the application window and can be configured in terms of the input source, chroma key and color adjustment as well as channel recording.

Handling VJDirector should not be a tough task for professionals but they may feel that the suite does not meet their standards. However, an aficionado should feel quite comfortable working with it. Moreover, the application could help improve knowledge and skills in the field of media production.
