Please can you tell me when do you think the fix will come?

I'm afraid, we don't know yet when it will be fixed.

Is that the same issue which I'm facing here?

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=11766

.. where I'm not able to mask the foreground/background properly?
(see docoptics video at 2:20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_cont ... P2bnQqLAvI)

if yes *hmm* maybe I could get to sleep a little better. That "simple" mask inside/outide topic makes me crazy :roll: :o

I don't think that's the same.

Please Zoltán, as soon as you have something to test let me know.
I will perform again in Bern November, 22.
That fix + overlay blending mode would be awesome!!!

I used Resolume 6 for the first time the latest Saturday (13th of October) at the O2 Shepard Bush empire in London during the Current 93 concert and it worked really perfectly! No stuttering at all.
You really did a great Job with the release of 6!!!

I had to do a lot of tricks to override the problem due to that issue but I was able to handle it.

:)

Please keep me updated,

Davide

I still see the jump.
This is a different issue we're working on, and affects all blend modes not only the Multiply. (#11504)
What happens is that the layer blend switches to the Clip blend around 50% in the transition.

I don't have an update yet.
This is not a bug per say however.
At one point in the transition the layer blend Needs to be changed, with clips set to a custom blend.
For a clip that is transitioning in to an empty layer we can make the behavior such that the switch happens at the start of the transition, so the clip will start to fade in with it's set blend.

With a transition between 2 clips there will be always a cut in the blend mode, so I think for that case we'll probably go with keeping the current behavior, unless our devs can come up with an elegant and easy solution.

Thank you for the update Zoltan. When I reported the problem about multiply mode I received a similar answer but then people complained about the multiply blend mode behaviour and you fixed that issue and I'm so glad you did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now we have a very similar problem:
an amazing feature that would allow the users to avoid to change constantly blend modes on the layer during the performances and (I speak for myself) is useless. I know at some point the layer blend need to be changed but there is a better way to do it. You need to blend the result of the two different blending mode so to have a smooth transition. If you use resolume to manipulate video for percussive music like techno even the jump works but when you use it to blend videos for less rhythmic music you perceive the jump in a very bad way.
I hope you will come back on this and fix it because that is really a life saver!!!

Best,

Davide
