Create Visuals with Resolume and Win an Arena License!

Drop Shadow??

This should be fun. The first few hours of my nights are always playing with different effects

Yeah this is a really cool Idea. Going to be good to see what people have done.

Can you use version 3 or does it have to be 4?

*Challenge accepted

Why, would you post a distraction like this, nearly half the shows I do these days are from pure internal, is there a limit on effects to be used as well? ie only the standard collection of Resolume effects and sources?

It, kind of rendered a little clunky, might have to revisit in studio for a better copy but at least it's a start to the comp, I plan to put together a couple and post in one AVC once done

hmm...never played seriously around with these features. fun!

made this with a saucerful of effects and pure resolume sources.

Dont know why the upload came out so grainy but here's the first try...



With watermark Too! YAY~!

sorry, first link i posted was not totally converted at vimeo. Now you can actually see it

Two more tests.

Nice, I like the RGB Punk

Although, I should be posting on youtube since vimeo seems to make them look extremely low def.

Enjoy Sonic Prison.

Hmm.. a bit un-smooth because of the frames which were dropped while the resolume recording...but still a visual I think

Did you find them all?

Would a video feed sent through effects qualify for this contest?

Simon says: The only rule is simple: you can only use the built-in effects and sources of Resolume.

One of many

Another one... RGB Landscape.




Still not as epic on vimeo, but looks killer in 1080p on a 55" flat screen from the comp.

Eye of the Storm.

Loving the stingy sphere. Haven't ever used it live, but now might start.

My experiments in Resolume. In 1920x1080 looks good i think

These two clips are called Bug Hunt because of the bug I found in Resolume while creating it/them. Bug Hunt #1 is the clip specified by BugHunt.avc when loaded into Resolume without modification. Bug Hunt #2 is the same clip after the project screen resolution was switched from 640x480 to 800x600. Saving the project at the new resolution and reloading produces Bug Hunt #1, so the only way to get the Bug HUnt #2 effect is to load the project with a 640x480 resolution, then upping the resolution to any other setting and NOT saving the project.

The Resolume folks should have fun finding & fixing the problem.

Bug Hunt #1


Bug Hunt #2

Real time processing by the sound of Drum to the Video FX (mapping) and Audio FX.
The location of that video capture was at Athens Municipal Symphonic Orchestra rehearsal hall, and the drum belongs to the same orchestra. Many thanks for the support.

@Freakie Beat. It's not a bug. When you add a Solid Color, it's created at the composition size (640x480). When you then change the composition size, the Solid Color stays at 640x480. Just match its render width and height to have the same output at a different resolution.

Oh, and

[youtube]video url goes here[/youtube]

@ goto10 - I would consider it a bug because - If I'm getting output for a particular .avc file and I hit the save project button, then reload the save project back in, I would expect the very same output that I was getting when I hit the save project button... anything else but the the output I was getting previously means that the at the time working parameters were not actually saved as they were being rendered.

If you really want to start this discussion, please open a separate topic.

very fun contest ... great way to nudge us out of our creative shell...





really must be viewed in 720p though...320 is nasty

it really pops when you animate some of the line parameters (width rotation position and fuzz) and wave parameters to an external audio beat like a bass drum..

thats mine, im using trial version

Video is called "Primary Vector" by Slinky & Snudis.
Made completely in Resolume using generative effects.

Music added afterwards.
Music is Wavespan "Momentary Bliss" from the Wavespan LP

Hi all guys, That's my work for the contest

A cat makes "miau"...a dog makes "woof"....but what sound does a giraffe make?

^^^ dang. its like a futuristic pong. Good stuff. So many layers!

ohh Thank you very much. *happy*


// EDIT: I have to say it again...it's a real pity that the resolume record is sooo ehm...

have fun!

Watch in 1080please.

Tap the tempo and enjoy.

These are made with demo. Hope it is not problem.

This a Demo I´ve made for this contest with Resolume. It´s a dope Program. I think you can see when Videos are created with Resolume, though the possibilities are endless. It´s like an electric guitar wich has it´s own distinguished sound and always sounds different opposed to a piano for example. I don´t know any other Program which can start a flow like it. I can only add the .avc of the mixdown. Hope it´s no problem.

made entirely in Resolume 4, syncs to midi bpm this recording synced to Flstudio compo at approx. 80 bpm

this is only 1 of many possibilities with this composition: there are 4 colums with different variations.

Tip: switch on tunnel in the composition pane as this also is synced to the bpm as you can see in the second video

ALSO check my other compo at page 11 of this blog! it is called LOUNGED..

@Mahlzahn. Looking good. To be eligible for the competition you'll need to pick one or two clips and upload them separately with their .avc files though. Just the mixdown doesn't cut it.

@The rest, three days left, y'all. Make it rain!

Here is some new stuff for you folks. Sometimes Resolume reminds of a beast which needs to be tamed;-)

Here is one I've made (with many watermarks at the end...)

Geek Out Hardcore


The title sez it all... havin' some fun geekin' on Resolume !!
The resolution of the clip suffers due to re-encoding foo, but the raw Resolume output looks great.

Wink-Out


This clip goes in a different direction. I put it together while listing to the current Hearts of Space (http://www.hos.com/#programs/recent) program.


Note: When re-sizing the project, remember to make the gradient source render size equal to one half the project output size.

Being late and very busy, I managed to put this together, not expecting anything I needed to upload something because of the "challenge accepted" post on page one...



And it's pretty impresive to see what others have made...still learning, everyday!

another try

Can I also enter the competition? Here is my Harlem Shake generated entirely in Resolume. I'll probably get disqualified for adding audio anyway

Resolume comes closer to become a visual synthesizer. Great! I WISH I had one.
What about my work - it's rendered with resolution of 320x240 so it's better to render it in at least 640x480 (the more the better) if you have enough processor power because the compression kills highly detailed picture.
Good luck guys, nice to see what others make using the same tool!




Just click the columns to play loops.

Ok, this took me quite a bit to figure out how I could realize my Idea. I had build this kind of sphere before, but then I used two layers and used the spere in the composition channel. This made it impossible however to "include" a background without prerendering the sphere. I managed to created two synced spheres now and played around a little with bright/contrast to make the background not shine through to much. Still I think that the sphere looks smoother with a timeline automatization, though the "effect" comes quite well also, cause blowing speakers usually don´t come smooth;-). If anyone knows a possibility to run the two spheres with timeline in sync, please let me know.



And why bother with "blender"?

The sky is the limit!



Thanks everyone for the inspiration and motivation.

The Videowall is also a nice tool to get some dynamics. Here are some examples.

I was inspired by all the snow outside.
Looks better with the raw Resolume files rather than the compression.

Hi people!,
very nice work here, lots of new ideas!, here it is mine; whatch it at full resolution.., it's a landscape where the loudspeakers are driven by external FFT so play with your favourite music attached to the linein.
In the .avc there are also a few more things to play with in columns 3 and 4.




Big regards!

HORIZON GLOW

RADIO ECHO



Thanks!

Inspired by all the other posts, I wanted to see how far I could push some of the masking features as well as the layer routing. To me, this really shows that there is no bounds to this program. The built in functions are so good that you are only limited by your own imagination.

Thanks to all the creators of this program. Truly amazing and innovative.

The meditative one:



It's a bit tricky to scale the comp - you should figure out how to do it. Try to change the layer 1 size to the size of composition, the same goes for the wave warp layer and maybe for keystone mask....

Here is my offering its all on one layer, its set at 120bpm, but this can ofcourse be changed. Enjoy

had to have a go at this

Be forewarned, the video quality is marginal due to re-encoding foobar - but load in the .avc and watch/play at full resolution. The gradient/line sources will have to be re-sized proportionality if you go to a different project resolution.

In an attempt to make things as transportable to another project as possible, all of the effects and key-mapped variables of 'Global Netz' are contained in one layer router except for the gradient hue changes and the number of lines.

Keymap cheatsheet - "A" (toggle/not really, just on) Auto pilot on / "B" (toggle) Background on-off / "C" (toggle/not really, just off) Cut auto pilot / "E" (mouse) Edge detect / "L" (mouse) Lines number [or] gradient alpha / "O" Opacity of gradient [or] lines / "Z" (mouse) Zooming.

'Global Netz - Static' is the project file in it's initialized state with no variable changes after load-in.



'Global Netz - Dynamic' uses key-mapping to play the project like an instrument... I was listening to Soulacybin when I recorded it.



'Global Netz - Soulacybin' is the dynamic clip set to music - "Ascending Satya" by Soulacybin - http://www.youtube.com/user/Soulacybin... click the link below to view

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4k2ibavyq8

PS> Bug hunt update - the "B" and "C" key-mapping breaks 'Auto Pilot'... and when actuating mouse key-mapping, once the mouse enters the 'Files/Composition/Effects/Sources' area, the key-mapping becomes sticky... to un-stick click the mouse in Mac and press a key for Windows.

Hi there,
Hope I got things right on the contest. But to be sure I post the 10 best Loops created with some Music and my two favorites seperately
Sorry for the bad quality ... my laptop is not doing well these days. New ones on the way delivery 3.April

This is a sort of Ed Wood´s digital B movie, made in resolume naked soft.





Only Resolume Bb!

at the later compositions is a dashboard link to use, the "resolume comp14" has 8 composition dashboards to play with

to play it correctly... start column 1, then the feedback in column2 and then the rest of the effect-layers above so that everything plays correctly!

Hello everyone!

There's a lot of good stuff already posted here, but in any case it was a lot of fun to play with it! Actualy, I have found that Resolume 3/4 is quie a workable tool for content creation (for old FreeFrame plugins I use FFRend for this purpose because of its ability to do non-real-time renders and access all parameters). So, here are my entries to the competition. I've made them in 720p, no post-processing, just cut them to make good loops.

cube-a-zoyd-3


dot-madness


cosmic-fishes


swirl-of-dots


flocks-of-dots

I hope I'm not late yet I'll just call this "Future bee". I tried reducing the resolution for smoother recording, but it's still quite jagged...

Mostly playing with mirrors. Great way to learn how to fake a Z-space. \

This lonely cosmic owl gets particularly sad if you listen The Cure's "Lovesong" while watching him fly across the endless snow dimension.

Go on, show it some BPM love.
More to come ...

I couldn't resist having one last go!

Liking many of the entries so far - here's a simple one from me...

resolume logo )

I had quite burst of inspiration today and here is the result. Numbers are added afterwards in Final Cut to make it more easy to find clip from .avc

As usually everything is tempo synced



column = clip

some last ditch efforts

all 9 visuals in one comp.
the names of the clips are the names of the videos...



















2 effects are linked to audio files to generate movement. the effects could be just animated, but i like the variation audio offers...

Here are a couple I made starting with static! You can do both on the avc I am attaching. Just turn on the iterate effect I have on the composition to get the cool prism effect you see here in Butterfly Prism.

Enjoy!

This Resolume compo is called lounged, it moves in a rather relaxed tempo.
Lounged 1 is done by just selecting the 3rd column in the Resolume window.
The other 2 versions are done partly with the clips in col 1 and 2.
Please notice that column 3 only uses 2 rows, so you can even add something of your own in the lower row of column 3, maybe a live feed from a camera as a background..
The possibilities are once again endless!
Enjoy!

Yes, i'm going to add some source files. I need to make a hard decision and select files to share. But i'm going to do it tomorrow, not to cause temptation to use my presets in other works. the contest is still going on.

I had a little more time on my hands so here's another


As you can see, I like bright colours, lines, loops that bang, I make content in two different ways, one for ledscreens and one for beamers, this one without the blueish background would rock on ledscreens

Alien-landscape

This one was created using last version of resolume (4.13) using some effects missing in v.3

One more...



I must say this has been really fun Resolume really seems more of a videosynth with sampler than just VJ-software.

A ball of energy..

And another black and white one. When I create my visuals I try to imagine a dancefloor/large room/hall with 2-3 projectors. It´s important to give visuals a certain atmosphere cause we paint rooms/locations with it. This one might work on a larger stage as well of course. Second clip offers some redshift which erects a little acid touch.


I also added another source file with some nice blow lines. It´s a very simple visual, but stuff like this is essential to create atmosphere I believe.

Hi all, and especially the Resolume team, contest or not, I want to express my deepest gratitude towards the team for not only mentioning this but also building the damn sources into Resolume.
Coming from VisualJockey Gold in the past I love playing around with soundbased effects and squirky lines and stuff.
My Resolume deck is changing by the hour at the moment, creating new visuals with the stuff that I discovered today, I really love it! so a big THANK YOU to the team and now I'm off, back to my decks

Hello!Understanding that one second preview doesn't give a complete view of my clips,
i decided to show a fragment from my live performance also. And as I promised I add some source files.
Here's my .zip with some basic graphic elements,a pair of backgrounds and even CityGenerator - use it with Feedback.

Can´t see the band though. Hmm...

This is meant to be aggressive...

Please open the file to watch in higher res. If you´ve got a good machine set up the res. I´d like to see some super high res vid of this one. So if you do so I´m not sad if you send me a copy.

most clips have dashboard controls, i changed some with my mouse while recording, you'll do better with controllers or automating them.

Why is it raining in the digital countryside?
Have a look at the treshold effect with timeline to add some "white".

Couple more bits and pieces done in Arena 4.13

Here's my last two shots. I tried to go for a warm analogue feeling and ended up full VHS with the first one, the second one I doodled up without anything special in mind. Sorry for the low quality on the videos, I needed to get them uploaded fast with a really slow connection :)





There's some insanely good entries in the competition, I think I'm going to give at least Digital:snot's and
Mahlzahn's compositions a spin next saturday :)

Thanks for a great contest , some really cool entries here .

My submissions. Some single clips and a small vj mix of clips recorded in Resolume with music by Tron Sepia.
I used 6 layers of solids and gradients with animated hue shift and positions then adding identical cube rotate settings to each solid and then staggering the playback . Also more effects like particles , scaled pixels, stripper, flip ,and tunnel





See it all in the playlist ,
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL ... Z9wZJLxzwh


I had to leave home before this upload was complete, posting this from a friends . I have a few more pieces I would add and the 2 composition files when I get home. I will add them to the playlist hopefully in time for the deadline. Just realized the title URL is down in the mix video http://www.scottvjguy.com

Turn off the sphere in composition channel to center the picture. The attempt was to create a tunnel feeling without using a tunnel. Using three different spheres made it possible to add more rhythm than a tunnel might offer.

With the contest extension, I'm submitting one more - "Drops"

I am currently Internet high-speed bandwidth challenged, so I did some heavy compression of the final video to get it uploaded in time for the contest. I've learned quite a few new things through this contest, but the foremost thing it showed me is that I need to upgrade my capture hardware.



I tried to keep the effects light & simple, using copious amounts of midi mapping to make this project real-time playable. Side note - this project convinced me I can make optical illusion pieces which is something I've been interested in long before running into Resolume. The comp is initialize with layer1 blacked out - just bump the A/B scene slider and un-blackout layer1 to get things going.

Music was included with the clip since the external audio FFT input is used to drive some of the internal effects.

I really had a blast with this contest, and I can't wait to integrate some of this with my existing and future video and still content... thanks to the Resolume folks and all of the contest participants.

Bug Hunt Update: (1) At least with the colorize effect on a layer router, if 'hue' is controlled with external audio FFT, switching to a different stored preset still has external audio FFT enabled and driving the effect, even if not in the switched-to preset. (2) When midi mapping control codes to the 'rotate X/pause' (timeline driven) function of the cube effect, it actually maps to the 'rotate X/random' function instead. Mapping of midi note codes operate properly.

Hi guys!

Thank you for this wonderful idea of making contest using only built in sources and effects. Personally I explored that this is very powerful thing just by itself already some time ago but just now it allowed me to dig deeper and try to push it to the limits of my machine (until 20fps on MBP late 2011).

So here is the my final best result. I call it RGB Nova Explosion. It is composed of 4 layers of goodness plus one Feedback layer between. Composition has Brightness&Contrast plus Trails (originally ON, in provided file OFF) applied.

Enjoy!

::: RGB Nova Explosion :::


Here is the AVC composition file from R4 :::
http://cl.ly/3m1G1m3v380W

There are few extras in the compo (renamed to extra 1 to 4). The best four of all what I had. They happen on the way while producing the final result.

extra 1 :::


extra 2 :::


extra 3 :::


extra 4 :::


PS> BTW guys I really struggled with the quality on YouTube or Vimeo. My compo was 720p, used Syphon recorder (less fps drop than with native REC button) with Apple Intermediate Codec on 30fps and 720p, than Adobe Media Encoder CS5 with YouTube Widescreen HD preset, looked decent after all this, but after upload all messed up! Actually watching other guys uploads it looks pretty much all screwed up. Do you have tips? Or maybe it's time to get into some blog post How-to... Not speaking about loosing colours! Had to enhance Saturation by +1 on all...

Cheers!

A great exercise for learning, sharing and creating. Lovin all the entries so far.

I´m doing stuff like this a lot

I made it with a variation of the same pattern...!

A nice bloom;-)

hi 2 all!
thanks for the great motivation to learn something new..
i tried something little different than classic vj loops - its more like digital naivist motion paitings
sorry about framerate - my pc handled it only about 8 fps, so i re-rendered it into 30. at the violet composition you must click randomize option few times to get the right face and in the moon comp give some speed to stars for a while
compositions included - its allways first column..hope u like it!

Wow, some amazing stuff up in the last few days. Here's a few from me, definitely learnt a thing or two about resolume's built in effects capabilities along the way, great competition guys.

Very impressive and inspiring thread!
