Codecs in Resolume

101 Video

Description

Codecs in Resolume are unique as Resolume prefers a specific codec for the best possible operation. The DXV codec should be used for all media in Resolume. You can convert your files to DXV using Alley or by using a plugin in the Adobe suite.

Importance of Correct Codecs

Resolume supports many file types. But, for the best performance, use the DXV codec.
  • The DXV codec is proprietary to Resolume. It's GPU-decoded, allowing faster rendering than CPU-based codecs like ProRes or H264.

Exporting to DXV

Adobe software products can't directly export to DXV on their own, you need an extra plugin. Resolume Alley comes with a plugin to export to DXV to make the workflow smoother.

Performance Considerations

Alley converts files using the CPU so a powerful CPU is something to consider when building your Resolume set up. Your GPU usage will be high as well since most other Resolume processes need a good GPU for best performance.

File Management

After conversion, managing and verifying files is crucial.
  • Converted files may not have thumbnails in Windows. So, using Alley for quick previews is recommended.
  • Keeping files organized in dedicated folders helps in efficient workflow management.
