CNET Editors' review
ClubDJ ProVJ provides tools for mixing audio and visual files like a DJ. With its impressive layout and simple operation, this fun program only suffers from its save-option flaw.
The program's interface demanded we visit the Help file tutorial. Although it looked professionally designed, its command buttons and options were unfamiliar. Fortunately, our confusion was quickly erased, and we were soon building a collection of audio and video files for mixing. The program allows you to drag and drop songs and films between two "Decks" for mixing. The individual decks adjusted the speed, pitch, and volume of each song or video, and you can add special effects like echo and delay. Melding both pieces together was as simple as clicking the "Mix" button. When two audio tracks were mixed, we thought the results were a little smoother than adding audio to a video, since it was hard to sync each up properly. We were disappointed by the program's apparent lack of a Save button. Nothing jumped out onscreen or in the instructions about saving our work. The program's special features made us happy by offering a bank of clapping, laughing, and cheering sound files to add. This program made the art of DJ mixing feel easy, though we wished we could figure out how to save files.
ClubDJ ProVJ shuts down after 25 minutes during its trial. It leaves folders behind after uninstalling. Though we wanted the ability to save files, this program was still fun, and we recommend it.

"NO SUPPORT - SAVE YOUR MONEY"
Version: ClubDJ ProVJ 5.1.5.5
Pros
Excellent software when it works.
Cons
If you have any issues, the only support option is through email, which most likely, they won't respond to. My videos display as red / green, even after making the suggested adjustments per their website. Emailed them (3) times now, asking for a solution, and have not heard back in 2 months.
Summary
If given the chance, would take my money back, and purchase anything but this software.

"Compatibility Issues All Around; But NO HELP!"
Version: ClubDJ ProVJ 5.1.5.5
Pros
It is as stated in the editor's review easy to use. No arguments there.
Cons
Ahhh! Had issues early with compatability, and tried to get help from them, and felt like I was beating my head against the wall! got bot responses, it seemed like I would never understand why it would cause my entire system to go down.
Summary
I have decided that given my few hundred bucks back I would have gone with PCDJ like everyone else. So much for being ahead of technology with something everyone else didn't have. Don't waste your time.
