Hi Dave.
I'm trying to export to .mp4, please also take a look at the time it takes to export when upscaling is selected.
I've been super patient wrt exporting in kjams, in actual fact it's the main reason I bought this software.
I have since also purchased the "pro" upgrade and I've been updating ...

I don't know what format Serato uses
I'm sure we've been through this before :wink:
Serato video plays: .mp4, .m4v, .m4a, .mov, .avi, .mpg, .dv, .qtz, .flv & mpeg
I tried over & over but couldn't get it right. Serato seems to have issues with Kjams exports.
Kjams exported files play perfectly in ...

Thanks for the prompt response Dave.
I only play cdg files when using Kjams. Any video files that I have, I play through Serato.
I haven't been doing any exporting for reasons in my other post (nudge-nudge, wink-wink).
So just to confirm, is this normal & I just never noticed it before?

I've never experienced this before, but tonight I arrived at the venue, started up SeratoDj, thereafter started up kjams.
It seemed like everything was fine until I noticed the cpu meter in SeratoDj running into the red. I opened up activity monitor & noticed kjams sitting at 95% cpu.
When I stop ...

Any news on this one Dave?
Is the HD export super slow for you too?

Hi Dave.
Sorry for the late response. I noticed 2 updates since I was here last (Damn, you've been busy!)
So I tested the HD output and it's amazing quality! Exactly the same as when played through Kjams.
Thank you for sorting this out so promptly :)
Unfortunately, I have to ask: Is it normal for it ...

Hi Dave, thanks for your prompt response.
For the color difference, it really doesn't bug me at all - it's possibly just different setting in my software.
Serato see's the m4v file & sometimes plays it back but with problems (it's not smooth & screen goes black from time to time) other times it's ...

Sure thing,
I can certainly see a color difference in the yellow at the start, the rest isn't all that noticeable on a black background.
I just realized that my dj software (Serato) gives no picture (audio only) when playing the exported mp4 from kjams.
I had this issue when changing the extension ...

okay i'll try to fix that, thanks for the report.

Great news, I'll buy the upgrade when this is 100% sorted!

are you still getting "washed out" colors?

The exported .mp4 color certainly doesn't seem as vibrant as it is when playing the original through kjams.

Im using the MPEG-4 encoder, with H.264 HD preset

Using the Pro Tryout, I still don't get the same quality in the mp4.
Is this a limitation of the tryout?

I Just noticed something in the FAQ section of the forum about bicubic & hq4x smoothing.
So to sum things up, the output of the exported video resembles bicubic smoothing.
I would like it to have hq4x smoothing if possible, it's like 1000000 times beteer (imo)
Ta!

Is there any way to improve the quality of the exported quicktime files?
I find that the m4v picture quality (played through itunes & mpeg streamclip etc..) compared to the original karaoke file played through kjams is very poor.
Kjams video output is of super high quality (actually seems like high ...

That looks like Future Decks Pro software, which once upon a time was a paid for software - seems like it's free now??
Not a half bad software, I had problems mapping my jog wheels to it, also no midi output for led's from what I can remember.
However, if you aren't using a controller it will ...

Hi Dave.
I want to display a custom picture on the screen between singers/songs. Basically, the venue's logo, displayed when no one's singing.
Obviously it should fade away when a song is started & fade in again at the end of each song.
I read as much as I can about this, but Im still not getting ...
