It's NAMM week and the announcements keep coming. Serato just announced Serato Video, a new plug-in for Scratch Live and Itch, which allows for video playback, mixing and scratching. Here are some of the features:
- Add video clips to your Scratch Live or Itch performance.
- View loaded clips and output from your computer.
- Manipulate playback with Serato control records, CDs or with your Itch controller of choice.
- Enrich your set with audio responsive effects, including bass zoom and splits, that are controlled by analyzing the music signal.
- Preview and manage video files in both Itch and Scratch Live offline players.
- Use video instant doubles to play the same video and effects on a second deck.
- Store effects within each video for instant recall.
- Setup different output configurations (Output only, L/R prefader or all 3 outputs) for greater flexibility when video mixing externally
- Utilize 3rd party controllers with Serato Video's MIDI control in Scratch Live.
While many of these features are not necessarily new and already available in Serato Video-SL, the biggest feature is video compatibility for Itch DJs. Since Itch was released, there has not been any native support for video DJing, until now. This opens up a whole new avenue for blending controllerism and videos. We are excited to see the possibilities that come from this combination.
Serato Video will be available in March 2012 for $149, but registered Serato Video-SL users can download the upgrade for free! Check the details here.
