Resolume Forum

Here's a video of what I'm experiencing.

Some videos will play just fine with no issues what-so-ever yet some video files with the H.264 extension seem to be lagging. Does anybody have any idea why this could be?

It's a highly compressed keyframe based format, and it's not recommended to use with Resolume.
​It's being decoding on the CPU, so playing multiple 4k mp4 files at once can have a big hit on your CPU usage for example.
Because of it's design, anything else than nominal speed forwards playback will cause issues. A specific frame can only be decoded by seeking to the nearest keyframe and decoding all intermediate frames. You'd expect that to be instant, but actually it will need a lot of work from the CPU.

​We recommend to use DXV encoded video clips with uncompressed audio for best performance. DXV is all keyframe, and can be decoded on the GPU, taking the load off your CPU.

​​You can use Alley, our free encoder and player to convert supported media formats to DXV.
Alley is bundled with Resolume 6 and up, but you can also get it as a standalone installer from our <a href="http://resolume.com/download">download</a> page.

Resolume installers also install a plugin for Quicktime, and Adobe products so DXV should also show up as an option in the Quicktime formats, or stand alone in the Format list - depending on which converter you use.​

Why are you still on 5.0.0? The latest 5 release is 5.1.4.

Ok that makes sense. I'll look into upgrading I just don't have the funds right now

5.1.4 is a free update from 5.0.0 if you have a license.
You can get the installers for 5.1.4 from the bottom of the download page.
