Every Resolume video effect has an Opacity slider that blends the processed output with the original

Resolume’s Opacity slider is present on every video effect and controls how much the effected signal replaces the incoming clean signal — a per-effect dry/wet mix. At 0 the effect is bypassed visually (clean signal passes through); at full, only the effected signal is seen. This is distinct from an effect’s own parameter controls, which govern how the processing itself behaves. The Opacity mechanism makes it easy to dial effects in subtly rather than at full strength, which is useful in live performance where extreme changes can look abrupt.

Examples

Drop Bendoscope on the Composition. Slide Opacity from 0 (original video) to 1 (full Bendoscope distortion). Leave it at 0.3 for a subtle warp.

Assessment

What is the difference between Bendoscope’s ‘divisions’ parameter and its Opacity slider? Which one would you automate to gradually reveal an effect during a live set?
