Resolume Avenue & Arena 6.0.6 update: "If I ever see you again..."

Minor point updates are like those songs that get stuck in your head.

In time, another song will come along and you'll wonder why you liked this one so much. But right now, it's the best thing in the world. You're blasting that baby on repeat, singing along at the top of your lungs, moshing out in the bedroom. While your significant other looks on in equal parts amusement and embarrassment.

Resolume Avenue & Arena 6.0.5 update: Stick to the Plan!

When making software, it's very easy to get carried away. Before you know it, you're adding new things, without having made sure that the current feature set is working as best it can. So, we've been using "No New Features!" as our mantra since the release of 6. Stick to the plan.

Blueprint.jpg

Of course, we couldn't resist doing what we love: making new features. So we just decided that not being able to set the duration for multiple stills is actually a bug. So we could sneak in a new feature that "fixes" it! Because that's how we do.[fold][/fold]

FIXED (BUT REALLY ACTUALLY NEW BUT DON'T TELL ANYONE):
10708 Make sure you can set the duration of autonomous clips using multi select

Peak the rest of that fix list below while you quickscope that download.

We also streamlined video playback, so performance is improved even further. You really start to notice this when using 4K resolutions and higher.
10633 Fix buffering doing too much work and not buffering one frame in advance
10569 High resolution DXV playing at very low fps compared to R5

We fixed some issues when using two Directshow capture devices at the same time:
10713 Same type directshow capture devices show up with same name, only one can be used.
10265 Connecting two Magewell cards; will only show the image of the first in both instances

Also, we corrected a booboo where opening v5 comps wouldn't work in 6.0.4
10718 Unable to Open Resolume 5 Composition in Resolume 6

And of course, all of this wouldn't be possible without Tim and Joris tackling the dreaded 'Insert Infuser Assembly' warning:
10758 Fix the coffee machine

Aside from this, again we fixed a boatload of minor crashes and smaller annoyances. Browse the fix list below while you get that download started, son.

10774 Apphang closing deck
10725 Midi shortcut isn't saved after user toggles piano button
10701 Audio Preview Waveform not being drawn anymore
10684 MediaManager sorting on Size is incorrect
10664 Datapath VisionAV-HD source fails to load on R6, works in R5
10652 Particle System does not reset its transformation matrix
10613 OSC input shortcut gets added to the list twice
10611 Dropping a clip from Explorer on windows to create a new clip slot overwrites the next/prev clip instead.
10608 When you load a Mask the image is actually sent out as binary data via OSC
10603 APC 40 not working after disconnect and reconnect, can cause apphang.
10601 VideoWall zoom parameter affects other effects
10593 Relative Knob on Clip Parameters makes them jump for the first time while adjusting.
10587 FFT Animated parameters on effects on non playing clips cost a lot of FPS
10507 Envelope in combination with Relative Midi input jumps all over the place.
10500 Can't downgrade by running an older installer
10355 Unable to Open Resolume because of OpenGL 3.2
10350 Unable to change Pin Properties & Resolutions for Input cards
10335 Fix files browser thumbnailing incorrect files
10283 OSC output shortcut can be duplicated
10207 Slice transform: Shortcut doesn't update on slice 1 when it's unnamed
10120 OSC: ?/composition/decks/1/selected doesn't give a reply
10011 Fragment effect removes alpha channel
10003 When autopilot triggers a new clip it stops the selected clip's preview
9770 auto pilot launch flashes black then AV clip flashes disconnected position's frame when relaunched
9769 Scrollwheel not adjusting clip speed parameter
9664 Deinterlace on Blackmagic is shaky

Return of the Footage Label!

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...

The popularity of Resolume 6 took us by storm, so we've been all hands on deck since it was released. It's been an overwhelming and rewarding couple of months, but now things have quieted down enough to resume normal operations. This means Resolume Footage will start releasing again.

And what better way to start than with some fresh faces. We're very proud to welcome Kongfoo Motion and Albertus Luki, both from Indonesia. They join our roster of footage producers, whom you'll see much more of in the coming months. The label is back, baby.

Kongfoo Motion captures that Jack Kirby classic comic feel with AnimaMix. Grab it now.


Albertus Luki goes bold with black and white banger FlicKit: Grab it here!


And Visual Delight is back after a long break with PlasticFantastic. Grab it here!

Resolume Avenue & Arena 6.0.4 Update

ET-620-09.jpg
Resolume 6 needs to phone home every 30 days to check if its registration is still good. This is so you no longer need to contact us for help with broken or lost computers. You can just manage your license online, whenever you need it, even when it's the middle of the night in The Hague and we're all sleeping. Most of you never noticed because Resolume verifies your license automatically during startup.

But some of you noticed. We made a mistake by not clearly informing you about this change. So, 30 days after Black Friday, of course right during Christmas, a few of you got an unpleasant surprise when Resolume went into demo mode midshow. That sucks. The show suffered and that should never happen. We messed up and we apologise.

On this release, we've addressed this by letting you know right when you register. Also, you now get a warning on the toolbar after 15 days offline use. 5 days before your license expires, you get a pop-up during startup. You still need to go online, but at least you get ample warning when your license is about to expire.
[fold][/fold]
Also, we fixed a big bug with Blackmagic cards showing black and no magic. This was a big one that a lot of you reported since the 6.0.0 release. We finally figured out there was a color space problem on the Intensity 4K and Ultrastudio 4K series. In other news, we now own pretty much every box that Blackmagic ever made.

For the rest, we fixed a lot of UI and workflow problems, as well as a truckload of minor crashes. Keep sending in those crash reports because they help a lot!

Now hit that download or Check for Updates... in the application.
