Who is a "video jockey"?
A video jockey, often abbreviated as VJ, is a person who selects and presents video clips and music videos on television or in a live setting, such as nightclubs or music festivals. They are responsible for curating and mixing visual content to complement music and enhance the overall experience for the audience. VJs often work with video editing equipment and software to create dynamic visual presentations, and they may also interact with the audience and provide commentary or introductions. Their role is similar to that of a DJ, but with a focus on visual elements rather than audio.
