We have just released a new Resolume 3 Beta, version rev1110. This new beta is a lot more stable, fixes a lot of bugs and adds live video recording!

In the coming weeks we'll be working on some more improvements and new features like transport controls on the layers, audio FFT analysis and flash playback.

Please download and give it a go.

New features:
- Live video recording!
- Contextual keyboard & MIDI mapping for the entire deck, so it works more like Resolume 2
- Scale clip to composition size (SHIFT + F)
- Timeline on pictures & sources
- Check for updates in the preferences
- About screen

Bug fixes:
Fixed: "The Nvidia Bug" Frozen video ouput on second display when using nvidia card on the pc
Fixed: OSC input (see the manual for details)
Fixed: Some ASIO devices do not work
Fixed: Only 75 .avi files can be opened at the same time
Fixed: Mask makes image darker
Fixed: Vsync in windows does not work
Fixed: Switching to BPM sync causes crash with video clips
Fixed: Quartz Composer file rendered to Quicktime movies don't work
Fixed: Loading a transparent quicktime (animation codec) crashes Avenue
Fixed: Crash when switching decks while preview monitor is playing a clip
Fixed: MIDI clock does not always work
Fixed: Bounce and Play Once don't work for video in BPM mode
Fixed: Audio & video go out of sync when using shortcuts to toggle < >.
Fixed: Flickering output when using pictures and feedback

Improvements:
- Don't update the clip property panel for each clip when loading a deck or composition
- Show proper device names for the capture input sources
- Much less cpu usage on Quicktime video files with uncompressed audio

And many, many other small bug fixes and improvements.

We always have to up the ante against SOURCE while they have two (amazing) new releases, we have just done three ;-) AnalogueLiquids by Chromosoom, ElectroGasmic by Micology and UrbanPeople by Dubassy.

Checkout these amazing new footage releases by SOURCE. AirVision by Netzair and Microtech by Rebel Overlay. Good stuff and affordable as ever. Available in 320x240 and 640x480.

Congratulations to all of this year's VJ Top 20 winners! A lot of Resolume users and female VJs again this year so I'm pretty sure we can say that using Resolume makes you (even more) popular with the ladies ;-)

Together with Eyesupply we'll be doing a Resolume 3 presentation this Friday (Oct 31st) at the Playgrounds AV festival in Tilburg, the Netherlands.

The presentation will be between 14:00 and 15:00 in Theater de NWE Vorst.
At night there will be performances by Pivot and Huoratron with visuals by Eyesupply so it should be well worth the effort to come down there.

We hope to see you there!

Update: The presentation is in Tilburg, not Eindhoven as previously mentioned ;-)

Our beta tester Yro is organizing the CINESTHESY 1.0 AV festival in Creteil (Paris) on Friday October 31 and Saturday November 1st. There will be workshops during the day starting at 14:00 and live AV performances at night. On Saturday there will be workshops with VIXID, CodaNova and Resolume 3!

Hurray! Resolume 3 beta is now available for download! This is a beta because it has some rough edges and not all features have been implemented yet. We hope you can all have a look and let us know what bugs you find, we expect there will be some.

The main features that have not been implemented yet are Flash playback, audio FFT analysis and DMX support. But we are working on these features right now and they will be available as free updates.

Have a look in the Resolume 3 manual and checkout the getting started video.

Okey, start downloading and enjoy playing with our new toy, we had a lot of fun making it ;-)

If we do not run into any last minute problems we'll release Resolume 3 beta on Thursday this week! We made really good progress last week and we now feel comfortable to release this version. We're calling it beta and we ask you for your help to find the last bugs. Stay tuned!
