Working on Smoother Video

Of all viewers, My Mom let me know how jumpy my videos were playing. I was aware of this, but chalked it up to the fact embedded Vimeo needs to be put on pause until the whole video is loaded, then playback is smooth.

I wrote to Vimeo support and they set me straight about my export settings: I should use 25 frames per second, and a keyframe every 30 frames (for the videoheads out there). That seemed to do the trick, so I’m going to re-export as many videos as I can at this new setting and hopefully playback here will be a dream come true riding atop a magical unicorn of golden dreams.

If not, please let me know how playback here on steveisaacs.tv is for you!

By the way, Vimeo Support’s Dalas Verdugo wrote me back in about 2 minutes with great info to get me on the right track. Hats off to Vimeo for once again being the horn on the magical unicorn of online video.
