How to use Resolume for playing videos during live concerts

I have a specific question regarding using Resolume for videos on a single, large LED screen for live concerts.

We are taking our bands live production to the next level by adding video. We have a big show on July 1st and this will be our first time using video.

We want to mix live video, pre-recorded video and animation (.mov, .avi, .swf, .flv) together and display the final product on a large LED curtain / screen (rentals). The videos will be produced in my studio. No live mixing... for now.

I will need to use MIDI to trigger the videos for each song. As I change a song with my MIDI guitar rig I would send some sort of MIDI controller or message to load that video / clip.

So how would this work?
  • Would I load all the videos for a set at once, as clips, then use MIDI to trigger the next clip?
  • Can I create a play list of videos and use MIDI to trigger the next video in the playlist
Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks!
Chris

This is pretty much how it works. I think the best course is to download the demo, go through the relevant parts of the manual, and try things out. It should be pretty intuitive, but if you have specific questions, feel free to ask!
