Resolume Arena 6.0.3 Win x64

Resolume Arena is one of the most popular video switchers for PC with all functions of Avenue, as well as media server capabilities: soft edging, screen warping, DMX signal reception and SMPTE timecode. This is the most powerful software solution from Resolume to date.

Arena is a powerful tool for live visual audio execution in real time. The principle of the program is very simple: using the keyboard, you start and mix the video, as well as add various effects to it, which allows you to improvise in real time with a video-series. The main interface window contains a palette of 20 channels into which you can download media files. By activating any of the channels - you start playing the video contained in the active layer.

The new version of Resolume is released in two assemblies: Avenue and Arena. Avenue is a modified version without significant changes to the interface and functions, and Arena is all features of Avenue plus media server functions (soft edging, screen warping, DMX input and SMPTE timecode input). For example, screen warping will allow mapping directly from the program interface, and with SMPTE input you can synchronize the video with anything you like.

Features:

• Transitions between clips
You will be able to automatically smooth the transitions. Using transitions between clips in the new version is very easy and pleasant, just setting the transition time using the slider on the layer and selecting the desired blending mode from the drop-down list.
• Autopilot function
You can play all the clips in the layer sequentially or in random order. This function will be available from the Layer Properties panel and from the clip menu.
• Effect Clips
Let you work with effects, as well as with regular clips. This means that you can switch between them using the keyboard or MIDI controller, use them together with the "Autopilot" function and automatically smooth the transitions between them. This is a completely new way to work with effects that you should like.
• Compositing
You can change the order in which the effects, masks and transformations are rendered. That is, you can, for example, scale the clip without zooming the mask, or apply the effect only to the clip, without applying it to the mask.
• MIDI Out
Finally, you can make the buttons on the Akai APC40 light up or (more fun) move up / down the controls to the Behringer BCF2000. 8-instrumental instrument panel for better control of MIDI-equipment.
• OSC output
Resolume is able to control software or hardware by means of an OSC (or MIDI) output.
• Clip reconnection
If you moved media files to another location on the hard disk or even scattered the composition and files to different computers, now you can easily specify Resolume a new location of files, and the composition will be corrected.
• Faster rendering engine
Now you can use even more resolutions for video. Finally, the interface with the Mac version of the program became faster and more responsive.
Changing the speed and direction of playback
Now you can instantly change the speed or direction of playing clips at once in all layers.
• Screen deformation and video mapping
In the output window, you can now combine in different ways the pieces of your composition and transform them as you wish. This is the ideal tool for mapping to multiple surfaces. Surfaces for projection are no longer required to be rectangular. You can deform your video with the help of advanced Bezier transformations, adjusting it under curved screens.
• Blurring the borders
The output window has become even more advanced, now blurs the borders for overlapping video segments. And even the creation of seamless panoramic (360-degree) projection is possible.
• SMPTE input
With the SMPTE-input you can synchronize your clips with anything. Lighting, lasers and even fireworks!

New in the 6th version:
• Resolume 6 now has 64 bits and multithreading, so it can update all the processor cores on your computer and use all available memory.
• Everything became faster:
Now you can display more layers in a higher resolution (4K, not anything) to perform on larger scenes. The switching unit is now very fast, and you can easily find the clip you are interested in. The recorder works much faster, so you can record longer and at a higher resolution.
• Flexible interface
The interface now perfectly displays images on high resolution screens. You can reconfigure the panels in the Resolume interface to create a layout that matches your workflow. Video monitor monitors are now available directly on the composition, group, layer and clip panels.
• Choose a color, any color
Do not confuse and do not guess with the gray RGB sliders, just click on the color you want. Keep your favorite colors in the palette, match them to your MIDI controller, and you can quickly follow changes in the light on the stage.
• Quick search
Using the search bar on each browser panel, you can quickly find effects, generators, files and compositions.
• Highlight and change
With color coding, you can select a specific clip, layer, group, column, or presentation. To make everything even clearer, you can now update the thumbnails of the clips, rename the columns and reorder the presentations. You will always find what you are looking for quickly.
• Media Manager
Thanks to the media manager, you will have an excellent overview of all the files in the song, and you can easily copy the song to another location.
• Constant clips
Always keep your most important clips within reach, making them fixed on all tabs.

• GO GO GO
Using the Next & Previous Column buttons, you can easily play the sequence by starting the next column. Great for theater games and scripts.
• Join the company
With Ableton Link, Resolume remains synchronized with Ableton Live or any other software that supports Link. You can even use it to synchronize two computers that are working with Resolume.
• UPS
Never again face the moment when you accidentally call a clip that you really do not need. Block the content on the layer and it will stay there no matter how lucky you are.
• Group of layers
With the help of groups you can create mini-sub-compositions inside your composition. The groups have their own column, effect, control panel, monitor, and main fader activators. You can even direct the group directly to a specific layer. Groups are the only function of the Arena.
• Masked layers
Turn the layer into a mask for all layers below it or apply it only to one layer or group directly below it.
• Converting into slices
Slice Transform effects allow you to position your content exactly on the input slices created on the extended output. This is a cardinal change for displaying large scenes with a lot of LED panels! It is only available in the Arena.
• Text effects
Built-in text generators are great for displaying and animating text "on the fly." Just enter text, select any font, add color, animation, and you can declare a DJ (after all you know how they like to see their names on screens)!
• Animate
The region border editor adds life to the animation of the parameters. With many predefined curves, you can make the parameters move over them, rather than just moving up and down. It is irreplaceable in combination with the animator of the text!
• Shortcuts
The system of shortcuts Keyboard, MIDI, DMX and OSC has been completely redesigned to become more flexible and understandable. Now you get an excellent overview of your shortcuts as a list and can create presets for your favorite controllers.
• MIDI Feedback
Highlight all the pretty colors on your MIDI controllers. Look at the controller, which clips are played. You can even see the color effects.
