1. What is DXV? – The Short Version

DXV is a GPU-accelerated, visually lossless video codec designed for real-time VJing, projection mapping, and high-frame-rate playback.
It is not a delivery codec for YouTube or streaming; it is a production/intermediate codec for Resolume Avenue/Arena, MadMapper, and other live visual tools.

⚠️ On macOS, DXV requires Rosetta 2 for M1/M2 compatibility in some Adobe versions.

We stitch the absent with the seen, Compress a life into a seam. If what returns is soft and strange, Remember you were the one who named its range.

Alpha Channel Support: You can render videos with transparency, perfect for layering visuals.

DXV is not an Adobe plugin – it’s a third‑party GPU codec. You enable it by installing Resolume’s codec pack, then treat it like any QuickTime codec inside Adobe export dialogs.
