Resolume Forum

Hello, I have to make a demo with video and music, so I figure pick a song and vj + record, then put the recorded avi on premiere timeline with the song on the audio timeline....BUT the resolution is so nasty when the avi is seen outside of resolume, it just doesnt seem to do the work justice...Does anyone have any sugestions? What do otthers do for demos? Thanks, Vanessa

i got the same problem here, is there a way to make the output res higher?

hi,

well... the recording speed in resolume isnt always thesame.
so if u do a lot of "audioresponcive" vj-ing, i advise u to do the work all in premiere with short clips out of resolume...

greetz SuperficiaL...

if you undock the window and set the resolution to higher than 320x240, then it should be better (providing your clips are higher that 320x240!)

or if you want to capture the audio and video at the same time, saving processing power, why not record out to a video, then capture it back in. no problems with dropped frames....

the recording resolution is the same as the rendering resolution. If you set the output to 400x300 for instance then your avi is captured at the same resolution. But for the best result you should probably go with jim's suggestion.

Hello Jim, Well I cant use higher rez cause all my clips are allready saved at 320X240. As far as the audio, do you mean I record my mix to the rythm of a song, then bring it into premiere, add the audio timeline, render it as one file, bring it back into resolume WITH AUDIO?? and record it again? Did I understand?

The best way to record a session with resolume is with an external video. If you have a good video card (ati 9200 128Mb up) it does not appear any pixelating, and if you have recorder digital, that´s the way!.
Another form to record, is through a videocamera with entrance - exit DV. You can eliminate pixelating it in Premiere with gaussian blur.

If your clips are in 320x240 then upping the res isn't really going to help much....

One trick that can help with low res is to import your 320x240 video into a premier (or other editing package) project with the resolution set higher, then apply a blur filter with a small radius to disguise the pixelation.

You end up with a less defined image, but at least the pixels don't show.

A better solution, of course, is to work at a higher res. We work at 640x480, which gives us results we are much happier with than 320x240.

what I've done when recording straight to hard drive is time stretch the footage later in after effects...then make sure you asine the time stretch blend function,[not sure what it's called] anyways it smooths out the in between frames in footage.
