<p>The functionality you seek is standard for a item called a Video Switcher.

<p>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?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

Video switchers can be found as both standalone units ([low-end](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/atemtelevisionstudio) to [4K broadcast](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/atem)) and as [software](https://livestream.com/studio/software) (also low-end to high-end).
