ABOUT RESOLUME FOR LIVE EVENTS:

This new online six-week course will teach you the fundamentals of working with the Resolume Avenue/Arena software to trigger, blend and manipulate video for live events or content creation. Unlike more traditional video editing workflows, this takes place in real-time with lots of options for physical control. It’s immediate, intuitive and lots of fun.

This industry standard VJ software is a popular choice for concert and club visuals but also finds its way into corporate event work, motion graphics production, projection mapping and live streaming. It enables you to work with video in a musical way and is also beloved by videographers, music producers, graphic designers, DJs, video technicians and audio-visual artists.
