Below are actionable notes for installation, upgrade, key features in 7.3.0, common workflows, troubleshooting, and best practices for live shows. resolume arena 7.3.0

Backup & show management

• Save show (.avc) and export a copy with media (Collect Assets) before big changes.
• Keep versioned backups: ShowName_v1.avc, ShowName_v1_media.zip.
• Export Output Profiles and Preset banks to reapply to other systems.

Performance tuning (live)

• Lower composition FPS if CPU/GPU overloaded (e.g., 30 fps instead of 60).
• Use render scaling (downscale) for heavy layers; use pre-rendered content where possible.
• Freeze layers that don’t change using the “Freeze” option or render to NDI and play that stream back as a single source.
• Monitor CPU/GPU load in OS tools; if GPU saturates, reduce layer effects, turn off anti-aliasing, or pre-bake effects.
