preferred format for incoming footage

[Superlat]

Greetings,

I am new to Resolume, but not new to creating video clips, loops, projection etc. I've read the threads on the DXV format. I'm on a mac and I can't find DXV in Adobe (as noted by everyone), but I also can't find it in the the latest Compressor, and I can't even find it in MPEG Streamclip, which Resolume's page advises me not to use at all (which was weird, since it is a functioning free media grinder). There are a lot of out of date pages linked to on this site talking about the DXV format, and I see nowhere to create it in my software. Maybe this is a mac issue only

I'm no expert on Quicktime, but it seems like Apple itself has been deprecating it or old formats of it, so there has to be a secondary format that is the CURRENT optimal format for Resolume. What was the advantage of DXV over any other compression? Alpha?

Anyway, please advise. I chose this software over others because it seemed like the most cutting edge. Don't want to get buried in a format nightmare right out of the gate.

Thanks,
Martin

Update to 6.0.9 which comes with the new DXV plug-in for Adobe.

Thanks much. Where is the encoder located in the new version?

It should install automatically in your Adobe folders and work with AE, Pre and AME

ok, it did do this, and I got this export working in my AME app.

Why is this the preferred format, when the files are 4x larger than what's coming out of my phone? Actually more like 16x larger when you consider I'm downsizing from 4k to 1280x720, like many people seem to do. I don't get why this is a superior format when it's almost as large as a pro format.

File size is usually the least concern, speed and consistency are key for playback and that is what the Pro’s at Resolume have done with their Pro DXV format! There’s no denying the results, try loading up a composition with differing formats and just watch your FPS, DXV will win!
