As a result, even if the High quality setting is chosen for a 1080px recording, the final video will not likely show as a constant 30 FPS video. This means that the frame rate is always changing to optimize performance. Snagit uses variable frame rates to capture. In this case, it would be the speakers mouth. If only a portion of the screen is changing, then Snagit will only focus on that portion rather than capture the entire duplicate frame.įor example, if recording a webinar where a speaker is talking, Snagit would concentrate on just recording the area of the screen that is moving. Only Capture Content That Is ChangingĪnother example is when a small portion of the screen is changing. For example, if an application window is recorded but the window does not change at all, then there is no need to record additional frames for the same content. However, if there is no change on the screen from one frame to the next, then that duplicate frame is not recorded at all (with exceptions for when audio is being recorded). This means that Snagit is taking pictures (frames) of the screen with X many times per second. Then, select the desired setting from the Video Quality dropdown. To change the quality setting, open the Snagit capture window and select File > Capture Preferences > Capture. Each quality setting captures at a different frame rate. Snagit 13 and later offers three different options for video recording quality. Why is my video showing less than 30 frames per second? Solution Only Capture the Necessary Frames Snagit is supposed to record at 30 frames per second (FPS).
