Frame Rate:
The frame rate determines how many snapshots per second are taken of your
screen. A higher frame rate w ill cause your movie to be smoother during playback. How ever,
a higher frame rate requires more memory on your PC. Setting the Frame Rate to a low er
rate can help when your PC performance is slow .
Recommended Frame Rate for Available Memory
:
o
100 MB Available Memory - Set the Frame Rate to 5 frames/second
o
250 MB Available Memory - Set the Frame Rate to 10 frames/second
o
500 MB or More Available Memory - Set the Frame Rate to 15 frames/second
You can determine the amount of available memory by opening Windows Task Manager,
under the Performance Tab look at the Physical Memory (K) section, and look at the Available
Memory. Divide the Available memory by 1000 to get the number of free MB.
Recommended Frame Rate for Your Processor:
o
Pentium IV or Similar Performance - Set the Frame Rate to 5 frames/second
o
Performance less than Pentium IV - In many cases a Frame Rate of 3 frames/second
will be sufficient for good performance. However, in severe cases it is necessary to
set the Frame Rate to 1 frame/second.
