Big size video lags

It plays fine on my laptop and connection.

Several things to consider here:

It’s a 20 sec video at 1080p 30fps and 52MB. The bitrate is around 20 Mb/s which is really high. YouTube is usually around 4Mb/s.

It’s choppy/lagging for you potentially because of/or:

  • It’s too high a bitrate and your PC/browser can’t handle it while rendering a 3D scene
  • The connection that you are on is too slow for the bitrate as it is not preloaded before playing

What you can do to potentially fix this if not loading the file ahead of time (and/or):

  • Re-encode at a lower bitrate (eg 5 Mb/s)
  • Use a lower resolution of like 720p

If this is something that is being considered for production, do take into consideration of the user’s connection and offer different quality settings like YouTube.
