Resolume Arena - Custom Transitions with Wire.
Posted: Sat May 10, 2025 22:00
Hey Resolume Community!
I've been experimenting with creating custom transitions using Wire within Resolume Arena, and I wanted to share my progress and get some feedback from you all. I'm aiming for something more dynamic and visually interesting than the standard fade or cut.
My current setup involves using Wire to generate masks and effects that are triggered when I switch between layers in Arena. I'm using MIDI control to trigger the transition and modulate parameters within Wire.
Here's a brief overview of what I've achieved so far:
* **Mask Generation:** Using noise patterns and shapes in Wire to create animated masks that reveal or hide layers.
* **Effect Integration:** Applying effects like blur, distortion, and color manipulation to the layers during the transition.
* **MIDI Control:** Mapping MIDI knobs and sliders to control the speed, intensity, and other parameters of the transitions.
I'm looking for suggestions and tips on how to improve my transitions. Has anyone else explored this approach? What are some interesting techniques or modules you've found useful? Are there any performance considerations I should be aware of?
I'm also open to sharing my Wire patches if anyone is interested. Let's collaborate and create some awesome custom transitions for Resolume Arena!
Cheers!
