Getting started with Resolume Arena allows you to expand your visual toolkit with new effects, generators, and utility tools. Most external plugins for Resolume are based on the FFGL (FreeFrameGL) 1. How to Install Plugins Installing plugins is a simple drag-and-drop process. Default Location: Copy your plugin file ( for Windows, for macOS) to the Extra Effects folder found in your user Documents > Resolume Arena > Extra Effects Custom Folders: You can set a custom directory by going to Preferences > Video and adding a new path in the FFGL Directories

FFGL (FreeFrameGL): This is the standard format for Resolume plugins. They can be Effects (modifying video, like blurs or glitches), Sources (generating visuals, like gradients or noise), or Mixers (transition effects).
VST/AU: These are audio plugins. Resolume does not host VST instruments or effects natively. However, you can use tools to bridge audio into Resolume or use VSTs in a DAW and sync them via MIDI/OSC.
Scripts/OSC Templates: Python scripts or TouchDesigner patches that send data to Resolume to control parameters automatically.

Download shader files (.frag/.vert or Resolume-ready .adv or .frag snippets).
In Resolume, create a new Layer/Clip and add a GLSL layer or use the GLSL shader effect if supported.
Import the shader into the appropriate folder (Resolume’s shader directory) or use the effect’s “Load shader” option.
Map shader uniforms to clip parameters and assign OSC/MIDI controls if desired.
