Video Frames Per Second

Group: Forum Members Posts: 52, Visits: 250	Hi there! A relatively quick question: I am implementing videos in my experiment (MP4s). However, there is a marked degree of FPS lag/choppiness when run in Inquisit/experiment. The video is a simple visual 'breathing' pacer, so when compared with the original video (outside of Inquisit), the motion of the visual cue is 'choppier' due to reduced fps?. For full effectiveness, the rise/fall of the cue (box) ought to be as smooth as possible, thus, is there a way to retain the original FPS (30) of the video to eliminate this issue? Many thanks and kind regards Anthony

I guess I use the display element to achieve such tweaks (e.g. via canvasaspect ratio etc) in the script Thank you

What I mean is (re-)encoding the video file itself with different settings.

Oh I see!, I may try adjusting resolution, though to be fair giff rendered format came out marginally better. just to be sure, there is nothing I can change or do within the Inquisit internal environment itself that can enhance FPS so easily (though I am naive to 'DirectShow' or the like) TY
