resolume 4 Looks DOPE!

Auto Pilot
With the Auto Pilot you can play all clips in a layer sequentially or in random order. You'll find this on the Layer Properties panel and in the clip menu.
Clip Transitions
When you're triggering clips in version 3 it always makes a hard cut between the clips. With the clip transitions in version 4 you can automatically fade between clips. It's super nice and easy to use, just set the transition time with the slider on the layer and optionally choose what blend mode or transition you want to use with the dropdownlistbox. This can make your style a lot smoooother.
Effect Clips
With Effect Clips you can work with effects like you can with normal clips. This means you can trigger them with the keyboard or midi controller. Sequence with the Auto Pilot and automatically cross-fade with the Clip Transitions. This is a whole new way of working with effects and we love it.
Compositing
You can now change the order in which the effects, masks and transformations are rendered. This means that you can now for instance scale a clip without scalings the mask. Or apply an effect on a clip but not on the mask.
MIDI Output
Yes, you can now make the buttons on your Akai APC40 light up or (even more fun) make the motorized faders move up and down on your Behringer BCF2000. All you have to do is enable MIDI output in the MIDI Preferences and all MIDI mapped controllers and notes will be sent out.

MIDI Controller Range
Set the range of the parameter in which the midi controller is active. For example to Rotate only between 0 and 90 degrees with the MIDI controller. You find this range slider on the MIDI mapping panel when you edit the MIDI map.
8 Dials Dashboard
The dashboard now has 8 dials so it corresponds better to the layout of most MIDI hardware. The APC40, Behringer BCR, Novation ReMOTE, etc, all have 8 dials or sliders in a row.
Global Speed & Direction
Instantly change the speed or direction of the clips playing in ALL the layers. Bam! Improvise.
Wave Your Hand in the air
You can now VJ with one hand waving in the air (like you just don't care) and the other on the keyboard using the arrow keys. Select layers with the up and down arrow keys. Trigger clips with left and right.
Random Beat Playback
Play the beats from an audio or video clip in BPM Sync in random order. This is the perfect way to mashup the amen breakbeat even more!
Play Once then Pause
As requested by many, you can now set a video clip to play once and stop on the last frame instead of disappearing.

OSC Output
Resolume is not the silent slave anymore that just listens to commands, it can now control other software or hardware by sending out OSC (or MIDI). By sending out OSC your TouchOSC layouts on your iPad or iPhone will feedback to what Resolume is doing. You can even slave multiple computers running Resolume via OSC. Enable OSC output in the Preferences and then use the OSC mapping to fine tune the outgoing addresses.
Clip Reconnect
If you have moved the media files on your hard drive or even moved the composition and files to a different computer you can now easily point Resolume to the new location of the files and it will fix your composition and decks.
Faster Faster Faster
Deck switching is faster so you can quickly browse your clips. The rendering engine is faster so you can run at a higher resolution. On the Mac the interface is faster so it feels (much) more responsive.
Resolume Arena 4 Media Server
Resolume 4 comes in 2 editions. Avenue is the VJ software you know and love with all these new features. Arena has all the features of Avenue plus features you'd expect from a media server, soft edging, screen warping, DMX input and SMPTE timecode input.
Screen Warping & Video Mapping
In the advanced output window you can now create as many slices from your composition and position and transform them to your liking. This is perfect for projection mapping on many surfaces. Your surfaces do not have to be rectangular anymore either, you can warp your video onto curved screens with the advanced bezier transformations.

Soft Edge
The advanced output window is now even more advanced and it will soft edge overlapping slices so you can seamlessly project with 2 or more beamers. It can even wrap around the composition for 360 degrees seamless projection.
SMPTE Timecode Input
With SMPTE Timecode input you can run you clips in sync with anything you want. Lights, lasers, even fireworks! Just not the go-go dancers, they can't output SMPTE yet but we're working on that.
Pricing
The price of Avenue 4 will be the same as Avenue 3, 299 Euro. Resolume Arena 4 will be priced 699 Euro but is now presale available for just 499 Euro.
