Resolume: Slice Strobe
If you want to tailor this setup to your specific hardware configuration, let me know: What or lighting console are you using? What is the layout/shape of your LED wall or screen setup?
For large projects with many layers and strobe effects, efficient management becomes crucial. Some VJs work with 15 layers or more during live gigs. To stay organized:
A Slice Strobe is the act of applying strobe timing to specific geometric slices of your video, rather than the whole screen. This creates a "chopped" or "fractured" strobing effect. For example, you could have the top left corner flashing on the 1/4 note while the bottom right remains constant, or vice versa. slice strobe resolume
A static strobe can become boring. Here’s how to create dynamic, complex slice strobe effects: 1. BPM Sync

Drag a Solid Color source from the Sources tab into an empty clip slot on a dedicated "Strobe Layer." Set the color to pure white (or your desired strobe color).
Use the Boolean output from your node as the trigger/switch control. Some VJs work with 15 layers or more during live gigs
