Preparing something cool, stay tuned

I am working on an effect plugin for Resolume, soon to be available on Juicebar. It’s a planet with all kinds of custom controls. Or a UFO? What do you think?

Showing how one loop with multiple elements gets created in After Effects, then turned into a bunch of backgrounds and overlays in Resolume using cropping plus the Radial, Linear, and Grid Cloner effects. What do you think?

MediaPipe -> Resolume using python

I've seen plenty of mediapipe examples using Touch Designer, but not many (any?) using Resolume directly, so I asked Claude.ai (not claude code) to help me as I don't know Python at all.

The code wasn't perfect, but I know enough coding in general to polish it a bit and I am delighted and excited by the proof of concept.

Now to come up with some fun ideas...

POV: Infrasound Harmonic Stage w/ LYNY

POV shot mixing visuals for 🎶 LYNY - Section.

Catered to a bit more of the darker club vibe but bringing in some of the color to cater to the infravibe! And hey, dats mah wife on the screen!

Content was rotoscoped (with Ae) video footage of my wife spinning on her pole! Mixed live in Arena w/ custom wire effects controlled by Open Stage Control, launchcontrol XL, and a midi fighter spectral.

E: big shout-out to Antic Studios crushing the lasers and lights!

AKAI mini mk2 - colour lights not responding

Hi all.

Prepping for a festival and my trusty and reliable AKAI mini mk2 has suddenly stopped displaying colour correctly.

Resolume 7. Windows 11.

Input is fine. Colour output on the pads now totally blank or not responsive.

I have tried:

Updating drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling etc.
Toggling the midi prefs in Resolume.
Switching cables.
Creating new project, Deleting all prior mapping and starting fresh.
Rebooting laptop etc etc.

Sometimes I’ll refresh the prefs and it’ll display 1 colour on my test file, or display an old full map, but then won’t be responsive.

Gone round and round on chapgpt and not nowhere.
I think this may be to do with a windows 11 update to usb functions, and it’s sending output somewhere weird? Idk I’m not so good with stuff like this.

Really stuck on this, and it’s important to my workflow.

It’s weird I had this issue a couple months ago and after 24hrs it reset itself. Praying that just happens again but … HELP!? Xx

Resolume Arena 20x FULL HD outputs

Hi guys,
I was a bit cornered. The client needs 20x separate full hd outputs from 1x computer + resolume arena.

Is there even a way to achieve this? I know about datapaths hubs and blackmagic decklinks. Is it even computationally possible on 1x PC?

Other options: 1. Offer 2x computers controlled via OSC/API companion. 2. Buy Mac Studio and 3x decklink enclosures. Thank you

Resolume freezes when connecting DIY RP2040 MIDI Controller (CircuitPython)

Hi everyone, I'm building a custom VJ controller (line: Cazador Digital) using a Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040).
The Problem: When I flash it as a Keyboard, it works fine (sending a, b, c). When I flash the MIDI code, the MIDI Monitor sees the notes perfectly, but as soon as I open Resolume Arena, the software freezes or hangs.
Has anyone experienced Resolume freezing with DIY MIDI devices? Is it a buffer issue or a descriptor problem? Thanks

Im making a Runner plugin

I just finished the first fully functional beta version of this program/extensions, its basically chaser on steroids, more functions, the options to save and load different screens/presets automatically, depending on what is open in resolume and generally a more smoother experience, i also made a trial version and if somebody wants to send me a dm i will be giving out the links to download because i want user feedback and more features that users would like

Projection Mapping in Avenue?

Hey wizards, just a quick question. I currently have Avenue that ive been using for gigs/house parties that simply need an hdmi connection. Super simple. My next project is i wanna project my visuals onto a suspended hoop (pvc piping/drape setup) and mask it in a circle shape. Doing some research, it seems to me that this is one of the differences between Avenue and Arena in terms of: output mask shapes and the like. Am I correct in now i must upgrade to Arena? Or am I missing something in Avenue and I already have the pieces to projection map onto a circular screen?

Thank you for your attention to this matter ^_^

When using Resolume as the Master Clock, how do I trigger different clips specifically using MIDI messages from my hardware synths/drum machines for it to then trigger DMX lights?

Hi there,

I'm planning on doing a very impromptu performance with pre-made clips, but I'd also like to add effects over those clips -- but the main plan is to not have a lightning controller, but to trigger clips and lighting effects associated with those clips by triggering them through, for example, drum machine patterns or melody sequences on my hardware sequencer, whilst keeping Resolume as the Master Clock to keep it all in sync.

I'm struggling to wrap around my head to this as a lot of the gear I have isn't based in Ableton or anything, so could someone run me through what's best to get this done? I think from reading around, I'd probably just assign Program Change messages to the columns to play different clips... I think that's simple enough, but the DMX stuff is a bit of a dizzying thing, I'm probably overcomplicating this.

Thanks.

Projection sur une forme en mouvement

Salut !

Je me suis mis à Resolume il y'a quelque jours. Je suis donc encore en train d'apprendre à utiliser le logiciel.

Cependant je m'imagine déjà des projets pour l'avenir et pour l'un d'eux j'ai besoin de votre aide.

Imaginons une scène physique avec un pendule, comme pour l'hypnose, un simple rond qui se balance au bout d'une corde.

Dans resolume, vous semble-t-il possible de projeter un mapping qui trackerais les mouvements du pendule ? Afin que la projection soit uniquement dans le cercle.

Merci pour les infos !

VJ Library file organizer -- Beta Demo Release

Hey'all,

I’ve finally finished (more or less building the windows release for a VJ library organising tool, much like what DJ's have, but for videos), it integreates with resolume through REST WebAPI
AAAND~ I managed to mangle out a preview for dxv files, christ on a cracker that took a while.

The big point right now is that this is a BETA demo, its limited to exporting 10 clips at a time but if you like the general gist and wanna try the full version, give me a message here or an email (the app will have it in the help section)

The TLDR of features:

The idea is pretty simple: make it faster to tag, rate, preview, group, search, and write metadata back into files, without needing to constantly rename folders or keep giant spreadsheet notes beside your clip library.

The current beta demo can:

  • import clips by drag-and-drop or folder scan
  • show thumbnails and preview clips
  • search by filename, tags, and collections
  • add/remove tags across selected clips
  • create collections/playlists
  • add ratings
  • show codec, FPS, alpha, quality, and resolution info
  • relink missing files if folders move
  • import existing metadata from files
  • export metadata back into file properties using ExifTool
  • write tags, ratings, artist, year, media created, and collections/genre fields where supported

I dont think I can post a link to it here? So just message me I guess

Second Edit:

I've quickly mocked up a site where you can subscribe to the beta, and report bugs / request features in the github link:

https://stagehandvj.com/
https://github.com/FyodorKrasniy/stagehand-vj

MAC support will be ready soon, im just polishing off the UI now, if you have a mac, please add your email, as I only have an intel based mac and would love to see how this thing runs on apple silicone

Cheers yall!~

Question about Akai APC40 MK II

Hello everyone! Had a probably stupid question, was looking to get clarification. I have an Akai APC40 MK II, and use it to control visuals for our church video wall. The specific blocks in the photo aren't important, I just threw stuff in to light up the controller. My goal was to set it up to where I can sort of "view switch" between the first 8x5 box I have highlighted and the second. The first shows up in the LEDs by default once I programmed the buttons on the controller itself, but I do not see a way to set any of my buttons to move my view over to the second box's area. Is this achievable? Or am I left to only making 8x5 cuelists and then switching to an entirely separate set of cues to another 8x5 set? I apologize if this is a stupid question, I'm just looking for clarification. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
