Expressions

Resolume Arena, Avenue and Wire support mathematical expression in their input boxes. This means that instead of pulling out your vintage pocket calculator, you can simply do the math in Resolume.

Examples

Let's look at an Arena example: Imagine running your composition at 1920x1080 using content at the same resolution. Now you want to scale your texture in half and place it on the left side of the composition. Start by setting the scale to 50%. Now you can do the math in the Position X input box: -1920/4.

You can do the same in Wire, but here we want to highlight that you can type in constants like pi and tau which are very useful to patch faster.

Using the "-1920/4" expression to get al pixel perfect translation for our source.

Using constants like pi, phi and tau can speed up your workflow and prevent the use of unnecessary nodes.
