Importing resolume 5 effects presets into resolume 7 (???)

Post by Optillusions »

Hey there! Got another question that probably has an obvious answer but i can't seem to find any info on the specific subject or get it to work via trial and error.

I have a bunch of video effects presets that were made in resolume 5 that i want to import into resolume 7.

(I know this doesn't work) I've tried just dropping the presets from the My Documents folder of resolume 5 into the My Documents folder of resolume 7 but resolume 7 just doesn't see the presets in the software.

For example i took the XML files from /Documents/Resolume Arena 5/presets/vfx/Edge Detection and transferred them to /Documents/Resolume Arena/Presets/Video Effects/Edge Detection and they don't show up in resolume 7.

I saw the "Import Compositions and Presets from Version 6" option in resolume 7 so i tried the same thing but putting the XML preset files into the resolume 6 My Documents folders but it didn't see the presets in the software either.

So i guess my question is, how do i get the resolume 5 presets into resolume 6 so that i can import everything into resolume 7??


Many thanks for any input :)

FX wont work as the openGL versions that are required has changed. XML's might work in advanced output if you modify a few things, but mapping XML's won't work as the shortcuts system has changed.
So in short, going from Resolume 5 to 7 isn't ideal. Most of your work will need to be re-built.

Thanks for the reply.

All the effects presets that i am trying to import are presets for resolumes inbuilt video effects, no 3rd party plugins.

So there is no way to get my custom effects presets i made in resolume 5 imported into resolume 6??

I think i found a way to do it manually. When i open a composition from resolume 5 in resolume 7, the settings for my custom effects presets that are active in the composition are saved and seem to work fine in resolume 7.

So i guess i can just make a resolume 5 composition that has all my presets active in the composition and then open that saved composition in resolume 7 and save all the presets manually. A bit tedious but that should work.

Yes, that would be the way.
