Full curriculum — every module & prep list
01 — Performance
Use decks to organise content and lay out compositions for instant access.
02 — External Control
Step beyond the mouse — keyboard, MIDI, OSC and SMPTE, and lock your show to timecode.
03 — Projection Mapping
Use input mapping to make your setup faster — from structures to full LED stages.
What you’ll need
- A capable laptop, a MIDI controller, and ideally a second screen or projector.
- Resolume Arena recommended — its mapping and SMPTE features go beyond Avenue.
- A timecode source helps for SMPTE, but we cover free options too.
Why this course
Plenty of VJs can trigger clips. Far fewer can run a tight, repeatable show under pressure. The difference is everything you can’t see: deck organisation, external control and a mapping setup that just works.
You’ll organise content so the right clip is always one tap away, take control with MIDI, OSC and SMPTE, and map onto anything from a structure to a full LED stage. 13 lessons across 3 chapters.
Tools you’ll meet.
- Resolume Arena
- MIDI controller
- OSC
- SMPTE
- Second screen
Arena recommended — free timecode options are covered too.

Good questions.
Do I need experience?
Yes — you should be comfortable playing a basic set. This is the next step after Beginner.
What should I bring?
A capable laptop with Resolume Arena, your MIDI controller, and ideally a second screen.
Is it hands-on?
Fully — you leave with a deck-organised show file and a working control setup.
What is the refund policy?
Live dates, availability, payment and cancellation terms are confirmed in writing before you book.
What students say.
Really enjoyed the training — very practical and straight to the point. You can tell it’s based on real experience, not just theory.

Great sessions with loads of useful, real-world examples. Everything was explained clearly and in a way that actually makes sense on the job.
— Sarah M.
One of the better trainings I’ve attended. Relaxed atmosphere, but still very professional and packed with valuable knowledge.
— Daniel R.
What I liked most was the hands-on approach. No unnecessary fluff — just solid, practical skills you can use straight away.
