I would stay far away from DXV. The file sizes are massive, even larger than other HQ codecs. I ended up going with Picvideo MJPEG, and you can buy a personal use license for pretty cheap. What all these codecs do is render every frame as a keyframe, which allows for really smooth playback (forward,...

Just a note re: syncing to an audio input. I have been struggling to get decent synchronization in Resolume, to the point where I almost gave up. But it looks like increasing the audio buffer and fine tuning the frequency band will get you a decent result. The only buffer size that works for me is 1...

Sadly, I have yet to see any Mac laptop run Resolume as smoothly as the custom PC I built for $700. Yes, I have to carry around the CPU and LCD, but I have many advantages (i.e. can upgrade CPU, can use SSD for VJ drive, can upgrade video card, etc.). I'd say the biggest bottleneck may actually be t...

wow, thanks. too bad this is not MIDI controllable. that would be very useful for performances.

Hi

I revisited this issue and I still can't figure out how to solve this. What "handle" do I need to click?

Thanks

I bought an OCZ Agility II 64GB specifically for VJing. Instead of putting it inside my case, I bought a Patriot Convoy drive bay and used one bay for the SSD @ SATA II speeds (no Convoy for SATA III yet). I used it last night for the first time with all my clips on the SSD and Win 7 and all apps ru...

Hi I have a friend who uses her integrated MacBook microphone (!) to synchronize parameters in Module8 to the DJ's audio output. It's not super tight synchronization, but it is somewhat close to the selected frequency. I have figured out how to choose line input in Resolume, and sync a parameter to ...

Hi Why is it that SWF files created in Illustrator do not retain their sharp vector edges when scaled larger in Resolume? Is there any setting to fix this? I would like to create assets that are vector and use them in my composition. One of the major advantages of vector art is infinite scalability ...

Hi When I first started VJing, I literally used VLC to play back clips like I was watching a TV. One thing I learned is that a few basic effects can go a long way if they're high quality. I would use motion blur to get that smooth, abstract imagery and Image Adjust-->Hue to shift colors to match the...

Built a $600 VJ computer this week, used it for the first time tonight. The dedicated video smoked weaker laptop graphics and everything looked really smooth. Amazing to have control over very fine detail using a MIDI controller. Also quite surprised by how little it costs to build a robust system (...
