Insane fps drop?

What’s with this insane amount of fps drop in TVAI 5.4?

frame=40047 fps=3.5 q=-0.0 size=146054133KiB time=00:29:27.72 bitrate=676845.1kbits/s dup=0 drop=2337 speed=0.155x

Why drop any frames at all? This occurs on a fixed framerate movie.

Can you send the full logs to the support team to have the devs look at and give some insight on this.

This is not a “frames per second” drop, as the title says. It is a bunch of dropped frames. This should only happen when -r is in the command. I don’t know all the situations where it will drop frames, but I do know that I rarely notice them missing—even with that big of a number.

I would hold off on worrying about this until you notice choppy motion in the output.

Hmmm, I ran this of the command line directly. Is it still generating logs that way? But I will send you the logs.

Of course; saying ‘fps’ was just a lazy routine of mine. Besides, losing 2337 frames per second would itself be quite a feat. :grin:

Ah, okay the traditional log files will not show that then.

Sent you the logs anyway already. :slight_smile: I will prepare a new sample, using the GUI.

Heh, I’ve tried adding the normal ffmpeg logging to a TVAI run. It makes it fail hard.
