Resolume effects chain sequentially so each effect processes the output of the previous one
In Resolume, video effects are applied in the order they appear in the effect slot. Each effect receives the video output of the one before it, modifies it, and passes the result to the next, so the order of effects changes the final image. You can add as many effects as you like, and removing an effect deletes its node from the chain, which reconnects around it. Chaining is what lets a few simple effects combine into a complex look.
Examples
Drop ‘Bendoscope’ onto the Composition slot — output is distorted. Drop a color effect after it — the color runs on the Bendoscope output. Reorder them and the result changes.
Assessment
You add three effects A → B → C. Explain what video signal C receives as input, and why swapping A and C can change the final image.
