What software should I use for non live mixing?

[DJOriginAL]

Hello. I am a DJ and Blogger and I would like to create youtube videos for my mixes. I would like some advice from people who have experience in VJing.

Instead of using vegas or traditional software for creating videos, I thought I would use a vj program to quickly mix the clips on the fly as the mixes are playing just like DJing, and record the output. Then I might make some edits or just keep it as is and put on youtube.

Can anyone recommend what software I should use for this? I would like something that is simple to use and not a steep learning curve. Doesn't really have to be reliable as I will not be doing it live.

I was planning on just mixing a few clips together with some transition effects. Maybe some video inside video effects and flip the video, shake, etc... Also I would like to be able to set cue points in the clips so I don't have to render different parts of a video into separate clips.

Also, obviously I'm not a professional dj so low cost or free would be great.

Use VJ apps. Resolume and others that run on windows. Record output and tweak with Vegas.

Yes, that's what I was thinking, but which vj app? There are so many, could someone point me in the right direction?

trial and error

Experiment and use the one you feel works the best for you

I guess I will go with resolume for now. Seems pretty cool with a lot of room to grow, plus so far its the only one i got working lol.
