Effect Mask/Layer and Text in R3

Post by HerrNieDa »

resolume 3 has a little diffrent workflow but i'm very impressed of it's power...
so what i'm missing is something like in ae
an effect layer...
shoult be handeled like a layer and can be dropped as f.e. 4th layer over the first 3 to give all layers among an effect like f.e. a blur... and on the 5th layer i can play a logo or something which is not blurred..
hope it's clear what i'm meaning

the next thing which woult be really cool is text animation native in resolume...
so that you can type a text, chose the font-type and animate it with the parameters and effects in resolume!
also for some logo fonts this shoult make a simle performant and nice effect!

is there something like this on todo?
if not, why? :ugeek: :P
edit: i think the text should be less the problem expect the osx/windows fonts maybe!?
the effect layer thing might be complicated.. cause it's between the 3 steps comp, layer and clip...
maybe there is a way to copy layer properties/styles (which don't works for me so long cause layer properties won't work after some time mixing)...
and sry for questioning, can i copy effects from f.e. clip to layer or comp by dragging? too lazy to start up now but will look for it next time, woult be also a nice feature if not yet existent ;)

I got a solution for you:
No need to have a layer with effects only on it
Assign the first three layers effects to the same midi knob/slider. You could even put your logo/text layer's transparency fader on the same midi slider, so as the blur effect is applied to the first 3 layers, the 4th layer appears in intensity to the effect. Does that make sense?
Kind of a one handed shortcut during a performance instead of doing 3 different things.

I second the text generator within Resolume Ave!
I would expect that to show up some time after flash is enabled, if I was a bettin' man.

jeah but it's more work... and if i wand an other effect or none of it... ok may i can also do this with midi!
i'll have a try if it's working well so far, but such an effect layer would be really cool in the workflow!
