365 to VJ with After Effects and Resolume
Posted: Mon Jun 06, 2016 23:13
Hey everybody first time poster here. I've been using Resolume alongside Traktor for almost 2 years now and one of the biggest challenges with using Resolume is keeping content fresh.
For the first while I was using a lot of Beeples royalty free footage and eventually bought footage from Resolume's online store. While the footage is great, the cost is pretty high (damn euro's to Canadian conversion). I wanted to make my own footage but really had no idea where to start. I'd tried learning to use After Effects off and on before eventually quitting. It's a pretty complex program and lots of tutorials aren't really geared toward VJs.
I've finally started making progress and the biggest thing that has helped is working on a new project everyday and sharing it on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/BE6g96Xj...=ryandejaegher), no matter if the work is good or bad I share it.
If you've struggled to learn how to use After Effects or have questions about using Resolume with Traktor feel free ask any questions. Happy to help.
