Animate RGB FX image Tutorial

A lot of fun to explore Resolume FX ! This is another great and simple technique to animate vector shapes if you don't have a lot of time to render videos. It only requires one PNG image file and a color palette assigned in Illustrator. With a set of Resolume effects, you can then animate the image, which is fun!

• In Illustrator set all your shapes to red and add an outline to make them easier to select.

• Open the color panel and switch to HLS.

• Select each shape one by one and change the Hue (H) value in increments of 10 or 20, depending on how many shapes you have. If your image has just four shapes, like the LOGO.png, use steps of 90. The hue value ranges from 0 to 360.

• Remove the outlines and export a PNG.

• In Resolume, add the Hue Rotate filter and animate the Hue Rotate parameter.

• The Hue effect will animate your image based on the colors you set. Now, play with the following effects which I use in this tutorial and animate paramters. For example, Chroma Key is a very powerful effect. You can turn certain colors black or gray, providing a great variety of looks, especially when you don't want full rainbow visuals.

  • Hue Rotate

  • Chroma Key

  • Add Subtract

  • Shift RGB

  • Colorize (Palette)

  • Trails or FrameBlend to smooth the animation

  • Auto Mask

  • Edge Detection

  • Infinite Zoom

You can then create a set of images and simply copy and paste these set of effects. Copy a clips, select a new one, right click paste effects or apply the effects to a whole layer !

Note: I noticed that for some effects, like Chroma Key, certain areas don't look perfect because of the alpha channel. I eliminate the alpha channel by adding a Mirror Effect after Chroma Key, and enabling Black BG. This trick significantly improves the result.

It’s also recommended to remove the alpha channel before applying an Edge Detection effect, as it enhances the appearance of the edges.

FrameBlend is a great effect that is similar to Trails but better. It interpolates your frames, which works well when transforming clips and mixing frames. You have different settings, like MAX, to smooth your animations while maintaining full color.
