you dont rerender - playback movie rate stays the same

but it does run my playback engine at 60fps or 50 or 75fps - which means the threshold for overloading graphics card is much lower- much less time to decode and render things on screen

so you have to reduce number of layers by at least half - on older graphics cards - it doesnt work so well at all.

output screen video timings are critical with audio

dont mix screen output sizes

-

if you want no drop frames playing audio - the frame rate at all stages of playback and screens and output screens needs to match exactly- not just on mac but in entire video system.
not 50/60 exact - but 59.94Hz 60.02Hz 75.03Hz exact

using well defined PAL -720p and 1080p frame rates - NOT vga or dvi frame rates or triple heads - is usually best - vga/dvi timing are off by quite a lot for audio. ( 1/1000)

800x600 is ok at 75Hz - but not through a triple head

Richard, if you don't mind explaining: if you use a frame playback rate of 30fps, monitors 60Hz, and use the 1/1 setting (60fps) do i then need to re render the content to 60fps? Sorry I don't really understand what the 1/1 or 2/1 do.

Same for 25fps..
Set monitors to 50/75Hz and use setting?

Despite never seeing the stat hud move so fast there where no drop frames when quickly testing this morning. Will continue testing.

For the show i was going to use the TH2G outputting two 800x600 windows (one to ImagePro/R7 LED, other to LX41). If this is not a good idea then will look at one output and two ImagePros for locating the content.

Thank you!
