Recorded video plays faster than it should

Post by prog »

When I open the video recorded by resolume it plays much faster than it should. Is it a common problem? What am I doing wrong? Is it the same framedropping that was described in a similar topic (well, not exactly similar: that one was about the playback, not recording..)?

Thanks in advance!

Make sure that your Frame rate playback is the same as the video file.. i think resolume defaults to 25 fps, what are your clips fps?

If Resolume can not write all the data to the disk in time while recording it will skip frames, when you play the recorded file again it seems faster because it is missing frames.

You can reduce this by recording to a fast harddrive and/or the PICvideo M-JPEG codec. Checkout our manual for more details:

Thank you very much! It seems to be that frame skipping problem. I'll try to set up recording compression properly

I have the same problems... recording 6,30 minutes results in a 2,40 minute videofile, so over 50% of the frames dropped.. :(

Not compressed, or m-jpeg compressed makes no difference.
Recording to a fast dedicated video harddrive is the only option i guess.
