Resolum 2 Final + RAM managment.

Post by Rincevent »

Hello,

can you tell us when to expect Resolume 2 Final ?

I don't ask for a precise day but do we have to wait like 1-2 weeks or is it closer to 1-2 months ?

And maybe you can tell us on Wich Features/bugs you are working ?
Not all the details but some info on what's going on.

And finally a little quote I found VERY interseting :

"A typical problem of real-time video application is memory management. In some case, you may want to work with very short loops that can stay in memory to obtain very high frame-rate and in some different cases you may have long videos that need to be streamed from disk. Modul8 supports three different memory storage solutions that can be selected for each media: full memory (the media is entirely decompressed in memory for optimal frame rate), compressed in memory (the media is stored compressed in memory), streamed from disk (the media is streamed directly from the disk using nearly no memory). By mixing these different storage modes, you can create compositions with very high frame-rate and long high quality video."

This comes from Modul8 Website (link) , a VJ tool for Macs

as You can see my proposal of Memory managment seems possible and not so bad, btw you can choose mem. managment for every clip you use, but... it's for Mac.

hi Rincevent,
i know about all these solutions.
And we will look into this matter.
The thing is that we don't want to many options for each clip, we want to keep it plian and simple. So we will have to come up with a general solution to make sure that the user is not responsible for taking care of memory management.

But thanx for your remark,
Ram loading is high up on our internal wish list.

cheers
Edwin

One last word about that topic.

I think that if you make a poll about that function with questions like :

1 "Yes, we want RAM mngmnt but we preffer to wait for an all automatic and simple function, so it could take a long time before we see this function"

and

2 "Yes we want RAM mngmnt , even if we have to be carefull with it, but we want it fast"

I Think that you 'll get a lot of 2 answers.

One thing I don't really understand is when you say "we want to keep resolume simple, not 2 many options by clip etc."
Well, there are lots of options already and I don't think it's so complex (and if it is my opinion is remove the audio sync props and put the RAM props instead) so I think that adding 3 buttons in clips properties
would not complexifie Resolume that much ( buttons : read from disk, RAM compressed, RAM decompressed )

Plus I think VJ's are not the ppl who buy their PC in supermarkets not knowing what is a computer, they are curious and
they won't be totally disoriented if you add one option or two.

Plus there are many others users who really wants that (look at the forums.)

So once again I don't see where the big deal is with including that (if it's not technical)

Sorry if I'm boring, it's because I Feel you think of it like "Yeah, RAM mnmngt would be very cool but we have to find the perfect way to implement it, don't do anything before we've found the perfect solution, and we don't want to do like Modul8 we have to find our own"
And i think of it like "They know how to do it and they don't do it because they don't realize how much important it is. or because they think it would be too hard for VJ's to handle."
Please let us decide if we can handle it or not.

RAM

It's obvious RAM is ignored by Resolume, and it's pretty stupid being cheap and fast.

I think we, as users, should try to provide solutions. But at the same time, the Resolume team should listen more to their clients.

RAM preloading is important. My opinion about the implementation is that there is no easy, solve all, solution. So get your feet wet, decide one way to do it, and we will adapt ourselves. But move!!!!!!

rince, if you keep renaming your thread topic, it falls outa content. We are all here to improve resolume. But you probably had a bad day ;)

Cheers

??? I didn't renamed this thread ? did I ?

Nevermind, as you said We are all here to improve resolume, that's the only purpose here.

cheers. :)
