What frame-rate does your computer play 1080p video?

At what frame-rate do the Intel iMacs play 1080p videos? You can test this by doing a Get-Info while the clip is playing. The info window will show how many fps (frames per second) of video is being displayed.
Here's a link to some video clips, be sure to choose 1080p (not 720p or 480p):

My 17" Intel Core Duo 1.83 has no trouble playing the 1080 p at 24 fps, it ranges from 23.5 to 24.5 depending on the scene etc. Processor cores running at 60%.
The lower resolution 1080p (it said 1080p but was 1440 by 1080) Didn't even stutter (stayed at 24 fps) when I opened MS Word in Rosetta mode. Even opening Excel, FireFox, iTunes, and iPhoto at the same time and it dropped to 23 fps for about half a second and rebounded to 25.5 fps before settling back at 24 fps.
The true 1080p (1920x1080) dropped to 18 or 20 fps when other applications were opened. I should point out that these tests were run when the video was still downloading. And in some of the very high speed scenes it would drop to 18 or 20 frames/second for a short time (hardly noticeable). Other applications were running during this time as well. This was the 1080p version of http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/hd/higherground.html
I should point out in 1080p the window is too large to fit on the screen of the 17" monitor. For the test I ran it with the image partially off the screen so it is running at native resolution (however it runs just as fast at any window size). 1080p is 1920 x 1080, so I imagine this is why the 20" is recommended for 1080p. If you have QuickTime Pro you can watch it full screen mode.

What Frame Rate does Catalyst export .SWF at?

What Frame Rate does Catalyst export .SWF at?
When I import a SWF file from Catalyst into another flash program, won't display never mind play, the error I get is that the frame rates don't match,
therefore I need to know what frame rate it exports at?

If you have a SWF created by Catalyst, and you're using that SWF in something you're creating with Flash Builder or Flash Pro, then I think frame rate shouldn't matter. But maybe if you can give more details I could help more... Which flash program are you importing the SWF into, what commands or code are you using to do the import? Is there an error message or alert, if so what does it say? Any info you can provide will be helpful.
Thanks

What frame rates does FCP 7 support?

The manual does not mention 1080p60 once while it enumerates virtually every other resolution, frame rate and interlaced/progressive that typical camcorders can record. I thought that meant it did not support 1080p60, but it is clear from several posts here that it does support it. Does FCP 7 support 1080p60 with some restrictions? Does FCP 7 support any frame rate--say 5,000 frames a second that a high speed camera might generate? Thanks, Dennis

It supports 1080p60...that is 1080p at 60fps (because 1080i60 means 29.97 fps)...but you have to modify things. That is a non-standard format. BluRay discs don't play that, only one high end tape format supports that format. Because of this lack of real support for this format, barring very high end, it isn't a general setting in FCP.
yes, there are cameras that shoot that format. And I suppose they are meant to have you play back from the camera, or SD card player (some BluRay players do this).
Does FCP 7 support any frame rate--say 5,000 frames a second that a high speed camera might generate?
FCP supports editing of professional broadcast formats. Cameras that shoot 5000fps, generally are meant to then output that to one of the broadcast formats...23.98, 29.97. Thus getting that slow motion. You don't edit 5000fps. NO editing app edits 5000fps. It gets converted to the proper frame rate, then edited. The Phantom camera files are converted for editing.

In what frame rate (fps) iMovie for iOS exports videos?

I shot two similar clips with an iPhone 6. One in 30fps and the other in 60fps just to see how much smoother would the slow motion be in iMovie. The clip shot in 60fps worked great even when slowed down by 1/2. The odd thing was, that when i reset both clips to normal, original speed and whatched the movie in in full screen in iMovie, I noticed that the smoothness of the clip shot in 60fps is gone and both clips look like they were shot in 24fps or 30fps.
So my question is, in what framerate iMovie exports projects? And is there a way to export in 60fps?
Thank you for your help!

Sadly it appears that ALL exports are converted to 30p only incuding Prores !, some like iCloud Sharing are even less 720/30p 5Mbps
True for iMovie for iOS and latest iMovie for Mac that does not have anymore "export to Quicktime" that enabled 60p export
Big regression only driven by marketing issues,
Final Cut Pro X solve the problem on Mac OSX
Pinnacle Studio solve the problem on IOS 8

What frame rate should you build your Flash file at?

Every second of video has 30 frames. But Flash animations can
be done at any frame rate, which raises a couple of important
questions:what frame rate should you work at, and second, if you
choose to work at a rate other than 30 frames per second (fps), how
do you convert to 30 fps? I deal with the question of frame rate
conversion below.
You can create a Flash movie at 30 fps. But if is going to be
played back on a computer, a 30 fps .swf file will generally
produce unacceptably high data rates, unless the image is very
small and simple, or the computer it is playing on is very fast. It
can also create a lot of extra animation work if you want to draw
in-betweens for all 30 frames. Fortunately, there is no need to
build your Flash movie at 30 fps, even if you are planning to
transfer it to video.
I usually build animation that needs to work on the web or
video at 12 fps. This gives us a good balance of lower data rates
and smoother animation. When creating cartoon style animation, it
also keeps our work consistent with the majority of broadcast
animation. While some high end cel animation is done at 24 frames
per second (the rate that film is projected at), much broadcast
animation is created at 12 fps. This is because it is drawn on
"2's." In other words, each image holds for 2 frames. Do the math
and it becomes clear why--half the amount of frames to draw each
second. While Disney and Dreamworks may have virtually unlimited
budgets to create their epic animations, most broadcast (and even
more so, Internet) productions are on very tight budgets. But even
the big studios do a lot of character animation on 2's. It looks
good that way, so why create twice the work?
If we are using flash to build a cartoon solely aimed at
broadcast or film, however, we build it at 24 fps. That way we can
animate on 2's for most of the character animation, but do animate
on 1's for segments or particular motions that require smoother
animation.
If we are using Flash to build graphics for broadcast use
only, and so won't be hand drawing in betweens, we usually build
the file at 30 fps. This will give us the smoothest motion, and
data rate won't be an issue for you. It is also possible to even
build it at 60 fps, and convert this to a 30 fps video with fields
In the end, you can decide to build it at any rate you want.
The lower the rate, the smaller the file size, data rate and number
of frames to animate, but the less smooth the animation.
Conversely, the higher the frame rate, the higher the file size,
data rate and number of frames to animate, but with smoother
animation.
now I use
FLASH VIDEO MX PRO
to covnert Video in multiple formats to FLV or SWF, I set the frame
size just as above, I always get soomth Flash
at the meantime, I have to set video rate when I use
FLV To Video Convert
Pro to play the video in my iPod, if you set the wrong frame
rate, your iPod and other devices may not support the frame rate

Usually video quality has nothing with frame rate, but when
you convert flash to iPhone or other devices, you should think of
which frame rate video can your device play. when I convert .swf to
iPhone with
SWF to Video
Converter, as you know, iPhone can only support frame rate from
2 to 15 or a little more, I always choose 15. In this scare, frame
rate is higher, the quality is better.

Why does my computer play strange music at random times and how can I stop it?

why does my computer play strange music at random times and how can I stop it? The music isn't anything on my machine and the only way I can switch it off is to reboot. Can anyone advise me please. It's driving me nuts ... I don't even like the music it's playing!

What apps are open and are you really still only on 10.5.1??????? At the very least please update your profile, also please remember to post more information. I suspect it's something going on with just your user account. You can verify that by creating another user account (call it TEST ACCOUNT) and log into that account and test. Once this has been verified then you will need to check which apps are running to determine what is causing your issue.

What frame rate?

What frame rate & key frames settings should I export my HD video in? Any other setting suggestions to get the highest quality HD video would greatly be appreciated.

Hi
A. Can You set key-frame rate in iMovie'08 - Didn't know this. In FinalCut Yes.
I set same as project requires.
B. 25 fps = PAL interlaced for TV. 29.97 = NTSC for TV
For 720i and 720p resp 1080i or p - Don't know. My guess 25/50 or 29.97/60.

Playing 1080p videos on 1.83 macbook with 2GB

Hi there! I need some help here.
I have a imacG5 1.8 with superdrive and an old G3 ibook and i really need to get a new laptop. I can't decide between the 1.83 and the 2.0 macbook. i don't wanna spend more than 1300$ because new core 2 duo intel chips will start coming out and both 1.83 and 2.0 macbooks will soon become obsolete. Besides, the new pro mac's will probably showup at the WWDC at a start price of 2000$ with blasting performance.
I don't need a superdrive on the laptop because i already had one on my imac G5. If i need to backup i simply reboot it in target mode and do my thing.
I saw some benchmarkings and the two machine seemed very similar in performance. One thing that no one had posted was the performance when playing 1080p videos on a 2gb 1.83 macbook.
Can someone confirm if it will play them flawless, and if i'm thinking the right way?
If the 1.83 runs imovie, idvd and 1080p flawlessly, i thing that i should't spend that extra 200$ for a few seconds of performance. I think it should be better to invest on the 2Gb of RAM.
What do you think? Thanks!
Paulo Lemos

Playing 1080i uses approximately 80% of the 1.66GHz Core Duo in my Mac mini (playing full screen on a 1920 x 1200 resolution display) for the most part. There are moments of high speed video that puts it over the edge (I think) and the frame rate momentarily drops from from its optimal. Given that I think a 1.83GHz MacBook should be able to run at optimal frame rates at all time.

What frame rate timeline should I use for 1080p 60fps premiere pro

When using 1080p 60fps clips what sequence should I use when creating a timeline that would work the best for slow mo application?
I read that you should use a 24 fps timeline but i'm not sure?
Also I have a few 720 @ 120 fps, should I create a separate sequence for that and what kind of timeline should I use since cs5 only has 1080 @ 60fps option?

24 is a good frame rate for most animations but some people like 30 and for the max stress on user systems and animation smoothness, use 60.

Can the TC act as a regular external drive or does it only backup what you have an your computer?

Iw ant to use the TC as an external hard drive, can it do that? If so, how easy is it?

Iw ant to use the TC as an external hard drive, can it do that?
The Time Capsule was designed for Time Machine backups of a Mac computer.
You can use it as a regular hard drive, but access will be quite a bit slower compared to a drive that is connected directly to your computer.
It might be OK for storing regular files. I would not recommend that you store music or video files for everyday use on the Time Capsule, but you may get varying opinions on this.
If so, how easy is it?
Takes a few minutes to configure the Time Capsule using the guided set up in AirPort Utility, assuming that you have a Mac. Setting up a PC to work with the Time Capsule is lot more complicated if you want to back up the PC files.

What frame-rate should I choose for iOS devices ?

Hi there,
I have my project set to 60FPS. everything looks smooth and fine when testing on the iphone 4s.
I don't have a 3G to test on yet, should I leave the framerate as 60FPS for 3g or lower it?
I don't really understand how to determine what to set the framerate for best performance or even if it matters.
Just after some clarification about what to set the framerate to.
Thanks

Yes release is same as non-debug
Okay I finally get your question.
The idea is to keep a value for fps that meets your requirement. Using a value higher than this wastes resources. A simple example would be running an application at 60 fps that is an enterprise application which is clearly wasteful. For your scrolling usecase, if your performance requirement is of 40 fps then keep framerate at 40. Now two things can happen either your device will have enough juice to run at 40 fps or it won't have. If it has the juice it will run at 40 fps no issues. But if it does not have enough juice then it won't and cause stutter. In such a case raising the framerate to 60 will serve no purpose, because that relatively slower device could not scroll at 40 fps, no chance of it to scroll at 60 fps. You should not concern yourself to keep different framerates for different devices. Keep the framerate at a value that meets your requirement, if the underlying device can play at that fps it will play, otherwise it will stutter.
To answer your original question, no you will not get smoother scrolling on a lower frame rate.

What is behind message "Your SIM played a tone"?

When i play 1080p video on my new lg tv from my macbook retina late 2013, it stutters.

When i play videos from my ssd from my macbook pro retina it stutters. Mostly it happens with 1080p videos.
Ive read different discussions about this topic and ive already tried to set my tv in cinema mote. This didnt help.
Also i tried to turn off tru motion, this didnt help as well.
Ive also tried different videoplayers but it didnt make a difference.
When i play it on my internal macbook screen it doenst stutter at all. It only happens on my external lg tv screen with hdmi.
Ive tried different hdmi cables as well but this too didnt make a difference.
Ive also heard about different refresh rates but i doent know how i can adjust this on my lg tv (lg46LM760).
Please help the stuttering is very annoying and there is no quick awnser available anywhere on the web. And since this is a common problem with many people the awnser probably helps a lot of people.

Additionally, you can run the Apple Diagnostics test from home, though it would not be as reliable as Apple's in house diagnostics in detecting an issue:

Is there any way to play 1080p videos on the iPad with Retina Display without watching in full screen?

When I watch 1080p videos from iTunes on my iPad, they are stretched to fit the whole screen (with black borders) even though there aren't enough pixels in the video. This means that the videos are not crisp as one would expect on a retina display, but slightly blurry, as they are not pixel perfect. Is there any way to make the video smaller? Or does anybody know any 3rd-party apps which can do this?

There isn't as far as I can find - I've had a play around and can't find any way.

Ipad 4 can't play 1080p videos

Hi,
I am using an iPad4 running iOS8.3. I recently discovered that iPad4 cannot play (and not even display) my 1080p video taken using iPhone 6 in the photos app. However, when i used a software to downconvert the above video to 720p, iPad can play it. Next I did another experiment, I then tried to convert the 1080p video from .mov format to .mp4 (DivX) format - same resolution. Similarly it could not be played.
This lead to the strange conclusion my iPad4 cannot play 1080videos in the photos app?
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.

The iPad 4 specs are here: iPad (4th generation) - Technical Specifications
