Hi everyone,
I’m currently running Resolume Arena 7.23.2 with a specific workflow and I’m looking for some advice from the community.
My Workflow:
I have 33+ layers, but I primarily use Layer 1 for output.
All my clips are set to "Target: Active Layer" so they always trigger on Layer 1.
My Goal:
I want to preview a clip in the Preview Monitor first to check the content. Then, I want to transition it to the Composition (Active Layer / Layer 1) manually using a fader or slider.
The Challenge:
I want to control the transition speed and style in real-time using a fader (overlapping, quick cuts, or slow manual fades) depending on the music.
I need to do this while keeping the "Target: Active Layer" condition on Layer 1.
Essentially, I’m looking for a way to have a "Manual T-Bar" that bridges the Preview monitor and the Active Layer.
What I've tried/considered:
Setting the Layer Transition Duration to 0 and using Manual Mode (M) on the layer transition bar.
Creating a custom Mixer in Resolume Wire with a fader and take button.
Does anyone have experience with this specific setup? Are there any settings I might be missing, or perhaps a clever Wire patch that can handle this "Preview -> Manual Slide -> Active Layer" transition smoothly?
I’d appreciate any tips or insights!
Best regards,
