Features and Highlights

Live Video Mixing
Resolume puts you in charge. You can play your videos when you want, how you want. Forwards, backwards, scratch and adjust tempo to the beat. Mix and match your visuals quickly and easily and play Resolume like an instrument.

Intuitive Interface
Whatever your style is, Resolume offers you an easy interface to rock it. Use as little or as many videos and effects as you like. The only limit is your computer's raw power and imagination.

From Your Local Club to Main Stage
You can play on any amount of screens. From a simple screen behind the DJ in your local club to the main stage at Ultra. As long as your computer can recognize it as an output, Resolume will let you use it.

Audio Visual Playback
Resolume plays both audio and video files. Animate pixels and drop beats, combine any video file with any audio file.

Audio Visual Effects
Resolume has both audio effects and video effects. Use them separately or combine them to create exciting new audiovisual effects.

Audio Analysis
Make clips and effects dance to the beat. Resolume can analyze the audio to make any parameter bounce to the music.

Mapping with Arena
Project video on any type of surface. Complex geometrical structures or whole buildings. Resolume does all the hard work, so you can concentrate on the important part: being creative.

Blend Projectors with Arena
With edge blending, you can seamlessly project one beautiful widescreen image with two or more projectors. It can even wrap around for a full 360-degree experience.

Project on Cars, Buildings or Pumpkins
With Arena, you can take on any size mapping project. From projecting on DJ booths to cars, buildings and LED mappings on giant stages like Ultra.

LED There Be Light
Think outside the screen and colour the lights too! With Resolume Arena you can send out colours to DMX fixtures and the lights will be in sync with your visuals.

Live Composite & Effects
Adjust the scale and position of your clips to suit your needs. Apply effects to drastically change the look of your video. Everything runs on the video card so you get the fastest performance and best image quality possible.

Real-Time Rendering
Apply effects, blend, mix, cut and edit, everything happens on the spot.

Audio & Visual Plugins
All visual effects in Resolume are plugins and you can easily add more effects by download 3rd party plugins. You can even program your own using OpenGL. On the audio side, you can use VST plugins to play your favourite effects.

Control from a Lighting Desk
You can control Arena from a lighting desk using DMX. So you can operate the lights and video with the touch of a fader.

What's new in this version:

Parameter Animation Presets:
- Creating an animation on a parameter often requires the right animation mode (timeline, BPM, FFT, etc.) and the use of an envelope. You can now store the labour of your pointing and clicking into a preset and quickly apply it to parameters all over your composition. We have included a few that are handy for most people, but you can create your own and save a lot of time by just applying the preset instead of re-creating the same animation every time.

Performance Improvements:
- In this release, we focused mostly on improving the performance of Arena & Avenue on Windows. It starts with launching Arena & Avenue, which is now much faster so you can get to work quickly. And when you're done, closing is also faster — handy when the jet is waiting to fly you to your next gig. You'll find that adding clips, groups, and layers, as well as switching decks, is also faster — especially in compositions that already contain a lot of clips and layers. Optimizing and making things faster is fun and addictive so we're currently working on even more improvements for the next release...

Nvidia Profile Removed:
- During installation we used to install an Nvidia profile for Arena & Avenue but we are not doing this by default anymore. There is now an option in the Preferences to enable the Nvidia profile should you need it.

Test Card Source Generator:
- You can always show the Resolume test card via the Output menu or by pressing SHIFT + CONTROL + L. But sometimes it's just handier to put it in a clip, now you can and you'll find the test card generator on the Sources panel.
- Transform Anchor Point Now Also Applies to Scale:
- The Transform node in Wire always had an Anchor Point, but it only applied to the center of rotation. Now, this Anchor Point will also be taken into account when applying scale. This is handy, for instance, when making a bar chart where all bars need to be aligned to the bottom. We know how much VJs like bars, so we're sure everyone will love this feature.

New and Improved Nodes:
- With the Count node, you can count the number of occurrences in a list of instances. So if you feed it “Aussie Aussie Aussie” and search for “Aussie” it will return 3. This is not limited to strings — it's smart enough to also count floats, integers, bools, and colors.
- The Replace Inf node lets you replace all occurrences of inf with a value, similar to the Replace NaN node.
- The Anchor Point node has been upgraded to not only take Geometry 2D, Slice, and Box2D, but also Textures.

Instantiated Instantiated Instantiated:
- Try saying that 10 times in a row for a good tongue-twister. Just like the Shape Render and Text Render nodes, the Slice Render and 2D Render nodes can now also output individual instances, so the result is no longer always slammed into one texture.
