TIP: Creating a TV Sync effect in R3

Hi Folks ...

I reported a few bugs yesterday but that was because I was hard at work creating visuals for a live gig tomorrow. I thought - it's summer - share the love ... so I would share a nice discovery as well.

I've been missing the kind of Rebelle\Pixellate TV effects so decided I would try to create one using built in effects. I'm pleased with the results, and they work well for live use.

1. On the master channel, put the following effects in the following order (starting at the top)

Distortion (horizontal sync effect)
Stripper (scanline effect)
Flip (random vertical sync effect)
Vignette

I've created new presets for each of these - how do I share presets?

2. Now link some keystrokes\controller buttons to the Bypass of the first 3 effects, in Toggle\Piano mode.

3. I've also added a TV snow effect on the top layer. created with Particle Illusion - this gives a nice bit of visual interest even to static images - use a hard light or soft light blend mode for this layer.

Will post a video sample later and some presets if someone knows where there are stored.

Thanks
Richard

Just tried this combo and it looks nice indeed! And so much more tweakable than any TV Sync effect could ever be.

Presets are stored here:
Mac: /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Resolume Avenue 3/presets/
PC:/Documents and Settings/[username]/Application Data/Resolume Avenue 3/presets/

But they are stored per plugin and not per preset so it's not easy to exchange them. Perhaps we,ll change this in the future.

Would it work just to share the <preset> ... </preset> code from the XML file? If so, here are the key presets I used:

i.e. for Flip - here's "1 badTVSync" insert into AVFFGLFlipA104.xml

Code: Select all

yeah, nice effect indeed. I didn't think it would look that good from reading your description. great job. I might test it myself. Thanks for sharing. does it work to just copy the <preset> code as you suggested?

Thanks ... not sure about the preset copying - haven't tried it I must confess. Just copied the code sections and pasted them in here. Let us know if it works!
