Manipulate fps from control
-
Hi! Is there a way to manipulate the fps of a movie player/projector directly from the control interface, without having to go to preferences>target framerate? Thanks

Hi!
Sadly we don't offer this option at the moment, to change the FPS you will need to go thru your Preference menu.Could you let us know your use case so we can log this in our feature request database?
Thanks! -
Generally, it is best practice to prepare all your media to have the same framerate ahead of time, or to have framerates that can be divided by each other (e.g. pairing 15fps, 30fps, and 60fps content and pairing 25fps and 50fps content works fine with the highest framerate set as the target framerate, but you'd have issues with trying to pair 15fps content and 25fps content or 50fps and 60fps because one is not divisible by the other evenly).
Whatever display you are outputting to has a fixed refresh rate that cannot be changed on the fly without going into the system preferences of your computer, and the same concept applies there: If your display has a refresh rate of 60hz you'll do fine with 15, 30, and 60fps content and if your display has a refresh rate of 50hz you'll do fine with 25fps and 50fps content. So since you want your content's fps to all match or be divisible by each other, and you want those framerates to play nicely with your display's refresh rate, I don't think it would be best practice to change the target FPS on the fly even if you could.

Although, if all you're trying to do is play a movie more slowly or more quickly, you can adjust the speed input of the Movie Player actor.
