RESOLUME

Пользователям как Mac, так и PC хорошо известна программа Resolume Avenue – великолепный виджейский инструмент с поддержкой до N видео-слоёв. Если Вы знакомы с программой Adobe Flash или Вы использовали Flash для создания видеообразов, то Resolume для Вас. Этот инструмент позволяет проигрывать флеш-анимацию, в том числе содержащую скрипты AS2 и AS3. Вам наверняка известно насколько мощным средством являются скрипты.

По сравнению с VJamm Pro цена на Resolume (€ 299.00) кажется несколько завышенной. Но зато Resolume может работать с множеством входных видео потоков и имеет простой (менее загромождённый различными элементами) пользовательский интерфейс.

Если Вы планируете использовать небольшое количество слоёв и множество видеопотоков, то Resolume будет для Вас хорошим выбором. Ещё одна сильная сторона этой программы – это видеомаппинг. Если Вы когда-либо работали с виджейскими программами, где обработка графики в реальном времени осуществляется за счёт написания кода, такими как VVVV, то Вам должно быть понятно, как иногда бывает трудно спроецировать видео на какой-нибудь физический объект. А с помощью Resolume всего за несколько кликов мышью можно выполнит маппинг на любой объект или поверхность. Кроме того проецирование можно выполнять даже на несколько объектов или поверхностей.

И хотя в Resolume нет встроенного секвенсора, и он не поддерживает функцию SMS-to-Screen, но этот инструмент может накладывать на входные аудиоканалы различные эффекты и смешивать каналы между собой. Также Resolume поддерживает работу с LFO – помимо стандартной синхронизации LFO с Audio/BPM (которая доступна и в VJamm Pro и в AVmixer Pro) можно вручную управлять LFO-сигналом, смешивать каналы и накладывать эффекты.

На Gearwire можно посмотреть видео ролик от Билла Холланда, рассказывающий о возможностях Resolume. На официальном сайте доступна демоверсия программы. Для образовательных учреждений возможно приобретение программы с 50% скидкой. Для работы Resolume требуется как минимум 1 Гб оперативной памяти, видеокарта ATI Radeon 9600 или NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200.

Video Conversion with Alley

Let’s face it. Only a special kind of masochist will really enjoy codecs and converting. Although some people may get a perverse pleasure out of getting deep into GOP structures, context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding and variance adaptive quantization, most of us just want to get on with making the screen go flashy flashy.

This is why we introduced the DXV codec and conversion tools in Alley. There’s no deep knowledge required. All you need to remember is DXV = love and Alley = life.

Converting in Two Clicks

After adding a file to Alley, of course using drag and drop like a boss, you will see a Convert button on the bottom of the list.

Go ahead and click that bad boy. The file will be added to the Convert list and Alley will switch to the Convert tab. Don’t worry about all the settings here, we’ll go into that later. Really all you need to is click in the same place, where there is now a Queue button.

Click that bad boy again and the file will start converting. Alley will switch to the Queue tab where you can monitor the conversion progress.

Once done, you’ll have a DXV encoded version of your original file ready to go, right next to where the original was. That’s it. You’re done.

Told you this was simple.

Batch Conversion

Of course, you often need to convert multiple files at once.

In Alley, this is just as easy as converting a single file. You just add multiple files to the View list, select them all using CTRL-A (CMD-A on a Mac), hit that Convert button and then hit that Queue button.

Boom. Alley will utilise all your computer’s CPU cores to convert your files as quickly as possible. It will show you the overall progress in the bottom area where the Convert/Queue button was.

You can leave Alley do its thing and go back to what you were doing. When it’s done, you’ll find the DXV encoded versions right next to your original files.

Image Sequences

You can use Alley to convert an image sequence into a video.

Save your sequence in a separate folder, and make sure each image is named sequentially. Next, drag the folder in to Alley. Alley will see that the files are supposed to be a sequence and will display, cue and convert them as a single file.

Conversion Settings

Of course, after adding a file to the Conversion list, you can dig a little deeper to fine tune how it will be converted.

Video

DXV Format

Here you can choose which flavor of DXV you want to encode to. You can read more about why DXV is so awesome and when to use each of those flavors here.

When in doubt, DXV Normal Quality, No Alpha is always a safe bet.

Size

This is where you define the size in pixels of your converted file. Usually, you’ll want to stick to Same as Source. If you need a specific size, you can choose from a list of often used resolutions, or enter specific custom values.

Scaling

Should you choose to render to a fixed resolution, you get to decide how the original image is fit into the new frame.

Use the slider below the monitor to trim your footage to length. More precise trim tools can be found under the conversion settings.

Audio

If your original file has an audio track, you can convert that right along with the video.

It will be converted to Linear PCM audio. You can adjust the Sample Rate and Bit Depth if you so desire.

Of course, you can choose to remove the audio track completely by unchecking the audio box.

Output Folder

This is where you decide where your converted file goes when it’s finished.

File Name

Presets

If you find yourself using particular conversion settings a lot, you’ll want to save those settings in a preset.

Alley ships with four presets for the four flavors of DXV, but you can add as many as you want.

First get your settings to where they’re juuuuust perfect.

When you change any value, you’ll notice the Preset dropdown changes to Custom. Open that Presets dropdown and hit Save. You can then choose a preset name, very similar to how presets work for effects and MIDI and OSC and all the things in Resolume.

Tip! Choose your preset name wisely, because it’s used for naming your files and folders. You can see that your converted filename updates when you change presets.

Bonus Tip! Every setting is part of the preset, including the Output Folder! This means you can choose to always convert your files to a particular place on your computer, like your Desktop.

Magical Power User Powers

There’s a few ways that you can speed up your conversion workflow and become a conversion super hero.

Convert with specific preset

Instead of adding a file to the Convert list and then choosing a preset, you can right click on the file and choose the preset from the list.

The file will then be added to the list automatically using the chosen preset.

This also works with multi selection!

Convert with multiple presets

After adding a file or files to the Convert list like this, the View list will stay focused. This will let you add the same files to the list again, this time using a different preset.

This will let you quickly prepare different resolution versions of the same file.

Adjust conversion settings

As we’ve seen, after adding a file to the Convert list, you can still fine tune its conversion settings. This also works when selecting multiple files and changing their settings simultaneously.

You can get really nitty gritty and use CTRL/CMD to select multiple conversion targets from the list, and dial in the settings for just those targets.

Queue specific files first

We’ve all been there. Y ou just got handed a crappy thumb drive with 12 GB of Youtube rips and Beeple clips, two minutes before show. You’re about to start the conversion process when the annoying tour manager comes running into front of house, shouting at you to get the DJ’s ugly spinning logo loop up right now!

After telling him or her to chill because you’re a professional, you can select just that file in the Convert list and hit the Queue button. That way, you know it’ll be done first. When it’s done, right-click to reveal it in your browser, get it up on the screen and then worry about the rest.

A player that can load various types of multimedia files, namely video content (DXV included), individual images, or picture slideshows

Designed to accompany the other Resolume products as a dedicated multimedia player, Resolume Alley provides compatibility with a wide range of video, audio, and image files. In other words, it is a versatile player that can load different media content.

A simplistic interface and drag and drop support

As you would expect from an application of its kind, Resolume Alley is not difficult to work with. In fact, its developers adopted a simplistic approach for the interface and all the controls so that anyone can feel comfortable using it.

Upon launch, the player displays nothing more than a black window instructing you to load video or graphic content. For your convenience, drag and drop works, but you can also use the dedicated button to open files.

Build your playlist and load media files in the player

Resolume Alley displays your playlist containing not just the name of the files, but also key information about their configuration (e.g., the FPS rate for videos, the frequency for audio, etc.), their type and size. Moreover, each video features a small preview to help you take a peek at its content.

The player is simple and features basic control options. You can play and pause it, jump back and forth throughout the playing file, or activate looping. Resolume Alley can load the content in window mode or in fullscreen. Convenient shortcut keys are predefined for all the commands.

A modern-looking and minimalistic media player fit for everyone

Resolume Alley does not bring something new to the table, but it features an eye-pleasing interface and support for various types of files, including DXV videos. Its simple options and the easy to use player make it suitable for everyone, regardless of their experience. Perhaps a more extended set of customization options would make it become more appealing to potential users.
