easy VJ'ing tool

[GabrielH]

hi,

i am doing a video installation for a theatre play and i should be able to display videos (dv or mpeg2) on 2 different video beamers in real time. In addition it would be cool if i could overblend texts also in real time. can somebody recommend me a vj tool that can handle these tasks and is easy to learn? the tool should be able to handle a big number of videos that are available in a playlist.

thanks
gabriel

Mac? PC? Hardware Mixer? Do you want the same video on both projectors, or two videos on two different projectors? Will the text need to be entered live, or can it be pre-rendered. Sorry to sound like I'm questioning everything, but this could be very simple or very complex depending on how much work you are willing to do before hand and how "live" the live performance must be (rehearsed and in a specific order, or completely freeform and randomly accessed...).

thanks for your reply.
i want different videos on the 2 beamers. but i could also simply work on 2 computers if handling 2 beamers on 1 computer is too complex. the tool should be for pc. the texts are predefined but the time they appear should be free. effects like slow motion i would like to do live if possible.
