How to use camera & webcam



A brief tutorial on how to use the Camera video effect, with VirtualDJ.




In its most basic use, all you need to do is activate the Camera FX on master (mixer area) in the software.
And VirtualDJ will automatically show and use the webcam you have connected to your computer.

You can either use it as single source as "visualization" when mixing regular audio-only tracks.
Or as part of a video mixing, where you can use Camera as a video overlay effect.
Learn more about "Simple Video" (camera as source) vs. "Dual-Source" (camera as video effect) mode here

If using Camera when mixing video files, you probably want to resize and position the area the camera occupy on the screen (see "Advanced use" below)
