Since I started VJing in 2004 the craft has evolved enormously, enabling artists to skip the long render times and the tedious task of timeline editing in favour of real-time dynamic visuals that can be easily integrated with music and manipulated live. Resolume's generative capabilities have grown exponentially over the last few years. This combined with the improvements in rendering video files from within Resolume, have turned it into a powerhouse for both performing and content creation.
