Resolume has a standardized interface with pre-mapped controls designed primarily for video content, whereas Magic is totally modular and node-based, and each scene can have a completely different layout with completely different types of content and controls. Yes, in the end they both create video, but they function very differently. One of the main things is that comparing Magic and Resolume is like comparing apples and oranges. Hi Dan, I just wanted to jump in so I could try to address some of your general concerns. Sorry for so many questions, just excited about this app and am eager to see how i can integrate it Actually, there is one specific effect that i want to do: How can i make the colors black and white? I want to use some of these effects as masks in Resolume and they need to be black and white to do this. Is there MIDI control for adding preset modules/effects/projects? Or is MIDI control mostly used from other apps, like if I play music in Ableton and ableton sends the MIDI automatically? If thats the case, what would be the reasons/benefits of using that instead of audio reactivity?Ħ. Regarding MIDI control, are there any specific MIDI controllers that people often use with Magic? I’m not sure how i could use a MIDI controller for it as there aren’t many knobs/buttons and every project is setup different. Is there any way to quickly browse and preview different GSLS Shaders?ĥ. Is there any way to quickly browse and preview different preset projects/effects/scenes that would fit in my workflow while playing music and streaming?Ĥ. Are there more presets that have premade visuals like the sample projects that i can download and use?ģ. Are any of these kinds of things possible with Magic?Ģ. I also use lumen video synth, which allows you to quickly see a preview picture for each patch and jump between patches for different looks.ġ. and organize your visuals/effects so that you can quickly jump between different types/presets and know what kind of effect you want quickly change between visuals/effects (with mouse, midi controllers or keyboard shortcuts), I use resolume and it has some nice features that allow you to do things like: And/Or the ability to tweak them quickly (if i want to quickly change the color or shape etc), without using my mouse. The effects in some of the sample projects and GSLS shaders are way cool and i want to use them, but:Ī) it felt kind of clunky to browse through them because it required me to navigate to them in the menu bar, then find them in the finder (without any sort of preview)ī) I want more preset projects to browse. While i’m playing music and streaming, I want to spend as little time as possible fiddling with the software, opening new projects, using my mouse etc. I’m a musician that streams live video while i play and considering using this to bolster the visuals. There’s no specific effects I’m looking to achieve, I just want to have a kind of “toolbox” of effects/projects that I can quickly browse and switch (and possibly make quick tweaks/adjustments). I’m playing around with it now and it can do some very neat visuals! I just looked through all of the sample projects and played around with some of the modules in them, as well as played with the GSLS shaders. Is there any way to do these kinds of things? For example, it would be cool if a piano could have a different effect than a guitar sound, and if higher notes have a different effect than lower notes. Are there good tutorials/resources about this?Ĥ.I would also like to make the visuals to react differently for different audio. How much can i adjust the way/amount in which the visuals react to audio? I’ve watch a tutorial and tried playing around with linking the modules to audio input, but am confused as to how it works and how much i can tweak it. Could I, for example, map controls to a Midi controller like a Apc40 or an akai midi mix? Would that be helpful for a creative flow? Also, can i control it with midi signals from ableton?ģ. In what ways can i control Magic visualizer with midi? I see alot of mentions of midi in the user guide, but am confused about how it can be used. Could you please help?ġ.Can i route syphon source into Magic visualizer? If so, how? If not, are there plans for this feature?Ģ. I’m new to this app and have some questions about how it works.
