What codec to use for the compression of video files is an issue that's always under much debate among VJ's. For the last couple of years the general consensus is that a M-JPEG codec is the best choice for VJ-ing. With the PICvideo MJPEG codec you get the best balance between fast performance and image quality. It's most versatile codec for Resolume. Download the free evaluation!

We have just added two new FreeFrame plugin packs from Intrinsic to the shop. The CrossFadeWipe pack contains 25 cross fades and wipe effects. These effects can be used in Resolume to do wipes and cross fades between layers. Collection X contains fluid paint effects and kaleidoscope tunnel effects.

Resolume is featured in the september issue of 'computer arts projects'.
This issue of the magazine is talks about the 'design for the music industry'. In the article 'Creating club visuals' a short insight is given into the creation of visuals.
In college we allways bought the computer arts to learn the basic skills. Never thought we would be in it ourselves one day.

Resolume wins the DJmag tech award in the vj category! Here is what the judges had to say:

Eclectic Method: “For this category, Resolume is the most versatile and interesting piece of software.”

Eserin: “For £130 you get an expandable set-up, loads of effects to keep interest going and easily assignable clip banks, plus DMX control for lighting shows.”

VJ Anyone: “It also memorises setting, works in high definition (HD) and VJs can control clip speed by music beats.”

Halliwell: “There's a vast differrence in the price and I think VJs will get bored quickly with the other software.”

WestEnd DJ: “Even after buying a controller it's still better value for money than the rest and it's a lot more versatile and well designed.”

Thanks Oli!

We have just released the second FreeFrame plugin pack made by Dave Green. This new pack contains 18 new high quality real-time FreeFrame effects. I think we have a new favorite; Old film is just a classic effect that surprisingly has not been available as a FreeFrame plugin untill now.
