Free Plugins for Resolume, Synesthesia, & Shader Engine - Free VJ Visuals & Loops
Looking for free VJ visuals or visual loops? This library is built a little differently. Instead of pre-rendered video files, every item is a real-time shader — a tiny program that paints fresh pixels every frame. Shaders don't really loop in the traditional sense (they evolve continuously and rarely repeat), but they fill the same slot loops do in a VJ set: drop one on a layer and it plays forever, at any resolution, reactive to BPM and audio, with zero file-size cost.
The library contains 986+ free shader plugins built using the Interactive Shader Format (ISF). Every plugin works natively inside Resolume Arena, Resolume Avenue, and Synesthesia — just download, drop into your media folder, and go.
The collection spans 257 visual effects (glitch, distortion, chromatic aberration, colour tools), 137 generators (plasma, fractals, noise, procedural patterns), and 563 Shadertoy conversions running natively in Resolume. All plugins are free to download and use, forever.
Want to run thousands more shaders live inside Resolume? Check out Shader Engine — an FFGL plugin that lets you browse, import, and perform ISF and Shadertoy shaders directly inside Resolume 7.4+.
