Resolume Forum

Okay, so I've been doing a lot of hacking around with video clips trying to get them to play as smoothly as possible, with different codecs and resolutions, and here is what I have found (keep in mind I am new to video processing).

Resolume suggests converting everything to 320 x 240, when I tried doing this in PRemiere Pro, it made everything look like crap, and all boxy looking and pixelly. Also, the codec I found to work the best is something called cinepak, all the rest made it very choppy playback. Anyway, I guess I don't understand resolution or something, because I downloaded some stuff from starloops.net that was 320x240 and it looked fine, yet my clips looked like shite? btw, this is after recompressing the same clips about 5 or 6 times.

Avoid cinepak. Indeo 5.1 is better, or m-jpeg.
320x240 is to low for nowdays. Use 640x480 or 720x576.
And you're right, resoulme likes only one resolution.

When you're rendering clips to use in resolume it's better not to use square pixels 720x576 because this is not 4:3 which your tv-out is. Use 768x576 square pixels because that is 4:3.

And when you,re using Indeo 5.1 set the quality to 100% and you,ll have good image quality and smooth playback.

Yes my mistake, its 768
