Resolume 7.10 | New Blend Modes Menu & Wire Test Slices

New Blend Modes Menu
Quickly selecting a different blend mode for a layer was always a bit of a pain in the a$$. You got this huge list of blend modes and transitions but often use only a handful. With the new blend modes dropdown menu you can favourite the blends you use the most and fold down the rest so they are out of the way.

Wire Test Slices
Creating a patch with slice inputs in Wire was like programming blindfolded. There was no way to see what your slices were doing until you loaded the patch in Arena. But now you can enable some dummy test slices on the Slices input node in Wire so you can actually see what you're doing before loading your patch in Arena.

Thank you!

BTW, OSX download page lacks "No footage" installer version

[Zoltán]

Huh, thanks for letting us know!

[GroovinDJ]

What happened to the random transition option?

[GroovinDJ]

No answer? Guess I'll just have to reinstall the previous version.

[Zoltán]

Random got gone with the blend selector overhaul.
Shortcuts still have the random option, that could work to select a random blend.

[GroovinDJ]

Random got gone

Bad decision IMO. You've broken my setup, and presumably other users too. This was something I used all the time.

Shortcuts

So how do I use a shortcut so that it randomly selects a transition when auto pilot switches to a random clip?

[Zoltán]

Shortcuts for multi select items have a random option:

Shortcuts for multi select items have a random option:

I don't want to have to press a key in order to randomly select a blend mode.

It used to be possible to select a clip, which plays then switches to another random clip, using a random blend. The random clip & blend selection was automatic.

How I achieve the same thing now that random blends has been removed?
