4.6 Importing media
4.6.1 Media types
MIXVIBES VFX is a real multimedia player. It can handle a bunch of media types :
• Audio files: reads all major audio formats out of the box.
• Video files: reads all major video formats out of the box.
• Live video feed: you can use webcams or camcorders as soon as they are Windows® compatible.
• Images: use images or image directories to make a slideshow.
• Flash files: you can use regular SWF flash (as media or in titler rack).
• Flash text files : you can use special SWF files with customizable text (as media or in titler rack).
Advice about video codecs
MIXVIBES VFX supports lots of video codec, but they have not the same performance. So,
what kind of DJ are you ?
• Simple (fade from one to other): any codec will do the job.
• Live remixer (use advanced functions like loops or locations): use a codec with light compression like MPEG2.
• Scratcher: use a codec with light compression and a lot of keyframes like MJPEG.
In all cases, global performance depends on your computer power (mainly hard drive and CPU speed).
4.6.2 Importing media
Next we suggest that you scan your computer to find your media. You can do this in three ways:
• Right-click while the cursor is over the MediaBase window, from the menu select Scan .
• In the Explorer window, right-click on an item and select Scan .
• Select [MediaBase/Scan] from the top level menu.

video with specific tag information (Artist, Title etc.), simply enter these into the relevant boxes and then click OK .
You can also add media to the MediaBase by dragging and dropping files from the
