I've used a variety of tools while making video edits. It's a bit frustrating that NLEs like Premiere are brilliant at video, but not so good with audio. e.g. you can adjust the audio speed but only using percentages or stretching but without beatgrids or advanced keylock.
And DAWs like Ableton are great at audio but not video. e.g. only straight cuts and no transitions or VFX.
I wish Serato Studio would handle video but it doesn't. And I wish Mix Emergency could work in a linear way, similar to a DAW or NLE but you can only record videos in real-time. I have made several edits using SDJ and Mix Emergency this way though.
In my search to find a more DJ-friendly video editor I've come across a few tools.
Serato Visualizer
First up, there's Serato's Visualizer tool, but that's more for producing social media content than traditional music video edits.
serato.com
DJ Studio
dj.studio
This is a brand new tool from the makers of Mixed In Key. It's more for creating visuals for long-form DJ mixes rather than music video edits, but that's useful too.
Ebosuite
www.ebosuite.com
This looks to be the most promising and I wish I'd found it sooner. It works with/through Ableton which is good news for you if you know how to use it. Unfortunately, I've never really got my head around Ableton so I've got a learning curve to climb if I want to take advantage, but this tool really does seem to offer what I've personally been loooking for.
Hopefully some of this might help you out. Especially EboSuite. I've been doing this for a while now and there's not as much help or info out there as you might think. Not from a DJ's perspective, anyway. Good luck.
