I am developing a flashsite to promote and showcase my video business. Includes several short video clips encoded as swfs. Because much of the video is encoded at 30fps - I built the site at 30fps.
I’m publishing for flashplayer 6 for compatibility
Testing my site on a mac G3 700mhz ibook it runs fine. But I read a lot of advice saying stick with 12fps for maximum compatibility with slow machines. Should I be concerned if it plays fine on my ibook?
The animation is fairly simple - tect and pixtures sliding in and out and a few fades.
I understand that flash plays slower on mac than windows - is that true?
The thing that can bog a machine down, is alot of complex animations happening at once, along with alot of alpha transparency. Too much of this going on, and it’ll be choppy.
Im not sure about the flash player being slower on a mac. I’ve never had problems.
You should post the site so others here with different machines, browsers, and connections, can let you know how its running.
Well as far as I know, if the video is running at 30fps then your only option is to run a framerate of 30fps!
Forget your processor speed, running a Flash movie at a lower framerate than the movie will slow it down and make it choppy so basically, there’s nothing you can do if a computer can’t run video through Flash at 30fps.
