The V-4 is a great video mixer with lots of FX - and its easy to use. You can even replace the fader bar with a DJ crossfader, a feature for the hardcore VJ. If you look around online there is also software available that allows you to do some pretty cool tricks with the V4 interfaced with your computer. Any VJ will tell you that the V-4 is like a tank out in the field. Once you buy one you will most definitely come back for another.
