Resolume Quick Start Guide | How to VJ - Beginner Tutorial

[@1212Eins]

When I heard at 1:05 "You don't need a midi controller", I knew: This will be my favorite tutorial! 🤗First Resolume - then MIDI is a good approach.

[@SeanBowes]

Principles first, gear can come later. Trying to make the basics accessible! Glad you dig it Robert!

[@haraldmuenz]

Thank you for this so crystal clear beginner tutorial, no awkward wording and uhs - cheers!

[@SeanBowes]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Props to my editor for making me seem coherent lol

[@haraldmuenz]

@@SeanBowes lol sure. But perhaps also a matter of preparation ;-)

[@oscarvespinosa2435]

You catch on really fast, it seems complex but once you learn the basics it pretty much branches into experintation

[@SeanBowes]

Very true!

[@qbikmusik]

Finally someone making a tutorial I can actually follow, thank you

[@SeanBowes]

Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching. What am I doing that's different than others you've seen? More on the way!

[@qbikmusik]

Just the other ones I found were less structured and youd just get random bits and pieces of explanation about whats going on in the software

[@SeanBowes]

Thanks! I try to think about structuring them to be efficient and clear so I'm glad that's coming through

[@mojoshaker]

Hi, good clear explanation, however, Iam a solo guitarist/singer playing to drums and Bass on ipad, can I have my visuals auto play, perhaps linked so that when the track starts the visual will start too? I will be using a good spec Mac book pro,

[@SeanBowes]

Yes if you are using a software that allows you to send out osc, midi, or timecode signals - thats what will allow you to communicate between your audio software and resolume and tell it what track is playing and what visual should play to go with it. There are a few different ways of doing this, but searching those things should get you pointed in the right direction! Feel free to hit me up on instagram or via email if you want to get more specific about it.

[@alexrivas1376]

Thanks for the video

[@SeanBowes]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@niccomedia]

very nice Sean, I wonder if there is a auto fade in and fade out between clips and column switching without have to manually move the fade slider. Thanks

[@SeanBowes]

There is a Transition Time control (View>Layer Transition Controls) that you can set so the clips fade to the next one over that amount of time. to go black you could use that and go to a blank or black clip before going to the next one. If you have the latest version you might also be able to use the Crossfader Phase feature to achieve this as well. Check out the Resolume youtube channel, its their latest video currently. Crossfader Phase tutorial. It lets you map effects to the crossfader position, so you could follow their tutorial with a solid color effect set to black so that it goes to black at the midpoint of the crossfader.

[@niccomedia]

@@SeanBowes Thank you Sean, it works great

[@JonathanSebastian407]

Dope! I’m in the corporate scene here in Orlando. At 19:20 you mentioned frame element what’s that mean- would you be able to rephrase that? Thanks

[@SeanBowes]

I am referring to branded graphics that frame the screen and have a window cutout for the rest of the VJ content to play through. Some concerts use these to tie in the screens to the scenic elements of the stage design or to extend the branding of the stage. I often want to treat these differently than my VJ content, so I use groups to separate different categories of content in my shows.

[@SahithNayudu]

Amazing Video🔥 I need help with mapping my novation Launch control XL with resolume

[@SeanBowes]

have you watched my controller mapping video?

[@SahithNayudu]

@@SeanBowes yes just watched :) Figuring out what to map to which know and buttons.

[@SeanBowes]

Great. This is something that people do very differently, so its hard to teach. But my advice is to think about what you will need control over in your specific show and make a simple control for it. Do you need effects? What kind of effects? Are those effects best activated quickly with a button, or smoothly with a knob or slider? Do you need control over colors? Do you need specific clips at your fingertips? Or can you use the mouse for that? Remember that the mouse and keyboard are very useful tools even if you use a midi controller, so only use the midi controller for things that it is good at - like smooth control across a range of values with sliders and knobs, or rhythmic activation with buttons. Think, plan, and execute. and dont be afraid to revise after testing it out. Good luck!

[@SahithNayudu]

@@SeanBowes this makes sense now i have some idea how to approach this! Thanks!

awesome video thank you so much!! Can someone please explain to me how to undo and how shortcuts work in general on resolume, thank you 😭

[@SeanBowes]

Undo is ctrl z like always (after version 6). I have a video about some shortcuts you can use. Search Hotkeys on my channel. ‘Hotkeys’, because resolume also has ‘keyboard shortcuts’ that is more like midi-mapping your keyboard than keyboard shortcuts for software functions itself. Hotkeys are for software functions like adding layers, undo, save, add a deck, create a group, etc

[@lxmccvi6739]

Hi Sean! First, I love your content! Secondly, I am at a crossroads and would love some info from you. I timecode lasers and LEDs to my DJ set. I want to incorporate video soon too but. The program I use for the LEDs is actually Xlights lol. It gives me a great amount of control over the LED strips which is what I really want. Would the be possible if I got resolume? Could I have a decent amount of control and be able to make LEDs look cool in this software? Also, do you have a video on what version of resolume I should get?

[@SeanBowes]

You can map LED strips with Resolume. Check out the DMX Output and Getting Started with LED Strip pages on the Resolume Support Page resolume.com/support/en/getting-started-with-led-strips resolume.com/support/en/dmx

If I want to record voice over my , should I do tNice tutorials in soft soft as well?

[@SahithNayudu]

Can I save these effects for layers and whole composition so when I open resolume next time..I don't have to start doing again?

[@SeanBowes]

Yup! It’s all saved with your composition. I like to reuse a base composition for this very reason

[@SahithNayudu]

@@SeanBowes Thats amazing! does saving too many compositions overload the software?

[@SeanBowes]

No not really. One thing to watch out for is Decks. When you Save As and re-use a composition, the decks save with it even if you close them. These can accumulate and make it difficult to use the Media Manager to find missing clips or to Collect Media because it looks through ALL of the decks instead of just the active ones. So you should Remove unused decks before starting a new project with a re-used composition. You can always pull them back in from the previous composition if needed using the Compositions tab.
