Resolume 7.21 Release | Transform Widget & Wire Parameter Grouping

Transform Widget

In Resolume 7.21, we're introducing the transform widget for Arena and Avenue. You can now move, scale, and rotate your content directly in the preview monitor! Additional tools like mirroring, center X/Y, and subdividing your footage can be accessed by right-clicking the widget. This widget allows you to transform either the composition, layer, group, or clip depending on your selection. No more fiddling with a bunch of sliders; just point and click to place your content where you want it.


New Monitor & Video Router Inputs
We have removed the option to show a monitor on the Composition, Group, Layer, and Clip Panel because it was buggy and not used by many people (we think/hope). However, we have replaced it with something better; now you can configure any monitor to show the Selected Group, Layer, or Clip. This way, it’s more flexible, and you can place the monitor for the selected item anywhere you like. The Video Router now also has the option to pipe in the Selected Group, Layer, or Clip. We have yet to come up with a good use case for this, but we’re sure some of you will find it useful.


Input Parameter Grouping

With Wire 7.21, you can now place your parameters in groups on the Dashboard panel. Nice and cozy. Groups will also show as foldable sections in Resolume Arena and Avenue. Patches with a lot of parameters will greatly benefit from the use of groups as you can now categorize them as you see fit.

Combining Cords

Another feature to speed up patching in your big spaghetti patches! You can now drop a cord onto an existing connection to replace (or add to) it. When working in event-flow, you can hold down the ALT key while doing so to combine the cords.

5 New Nodes

Wire gets 5 new nodes with this update: Perlin, Fract, Noise Generator, Collapse Triggers, and Anchor Point. The Perlin Node allows you to run any float type through a Perlin Noise algorithm. The Fract Node returns the fractional part of a floating point number. The Noise Generator provides you with a constant stream of random values. The Collapse Triggers Node allows you to collapse multiple triggers that happen on the same frame into one. The Anchor Point Node allows you to get the center, top-left, bottom-right, etc to set the anchor point of the Transform node so it will then rotate around that point.

REST API Updates
Our REST API is used more and more to control Arena & Avenue. So we have fixed a few bugs, corrected the documentation, and as requested by our loyal API warriors, you can now clear clips and groups through the Resolume REST API.
