Video player that has a cross dissolve option when changing the clip

Question

so I need a Video Player, that can change Videoclips, using cross dissolve or overlay. It will be used by a DJ and he would like to be able to switch the Videos live by himself but not having any hard cut. Do you have any ideas?

Thanks

Answer 1

The functionality you seek is standard for a item called a Video Switcher. Video switchers can be found as both standalone units (low-end to 4K broadcast) and as software (also low-end to high-end). In the latter case, the computer running the switcher needs video I/O functionality, which typically requires adding one or more special cards (video I/O is different than a graphics card driving a computer monitor).
