    • Powerful projection mapping (Arena).
    • Perpetual license, no subscription.

    Resolume: when it makes sense.

    Resolume is the go-to for live visuals and projection mapping; for classic editing or an occasional need, another tool fits better.

    Keep if

    You do VJing or drive visuals at concerts or clubs.. You need on-stage projection mapping (Arena).

    Resolume becomes worthwhile when
    • You use it at least once a week
    • The monthly cost (€40) is small next to the time it saves you

    Challenge if

    You're looking for linear video-editing software.. You have no live-performance need.

    Resolume becomes too expensive when
    • You use it less than once a month
    • A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
