Common workflows involve switching between Random (for chaotic energy) and Slice Order (for sequential "chasers" across a stage).
If you do not want to rely on moving video blocks across an input canvas, you can use Resolume’s built-in internal effects pipeline combined with the modifier to create internal slice-specific strobing. Step 1: Apply the Crop or Slice Shuffler Effect Select the layer containing your visual content. slice strobe resolume

A strobe is only effective if it cuts through darkness. Keep your background video layers slightly darker or lower in saturation so that the white slice strobe punches through cleanly. : Mapping the strobe's frequency or a "trigger"
: Mapping the strobe's frequency or a "trigger" button to a MIDI controller (like a rotary knob) allows for manual build-ups and intensity control during live performances. set up the Slice Transform specifically for a multi-screen LED stage?
: Pro VJs often say "Strobe cannot be the only effect." Try alternatives like "Invert RGB" or using an Attack Release node to soften the strobe's edges for a more professional look.
If your interest is more practical, you could create a guide on how to integrate strobe lighting with Resolume for live video performances, including tips on slicing video content for maximum effect.
