I am trying to run the Shifty patch from the Jitter examples at 1280 x 720.

The frame rate obviously drops significantly, still running at over 60 fps but the change in the motion is very obvious.

I would be happy to render it not in real time but being it sound driven I'm not sure what the work around for that could be.

Changed the metro to qmetro 5 (means that the system can drop things that it can't keep up with, always best with jitter)

Changed the matrix from 320 240 to 1280 720 to push the system.

I have a solid 59 fps with my system and very smooth movement.

You can always try inserting a jit.slide to smooth things out.

Thanks Andro, that didn't fix the problem though unfortunately. Now it seems to run slower even at 640 x 480.

Btw the matrix size was getting changed in my patch too through the menu selection. That's exactly what causes the patch to slow down, if you switch between 640 and 1280 you'll see that you are still getting 60 fps but the movement is much much less responsive to the sound.

I'm actually fine with that if I could find a way to render it non real time. I don't need to use it for real time video or anything.

I always struggle with the same thing really, rendering non realtime stuff that is sound responsive...

Hi Steve, what system are you running this on ?

It could be that your graphics card can't pull off the patch.

Have you also tried changing your preferences with the scheduler and overdrive to see if this helps ?

Yeah probably they can't. 2GHz i7. 8 GB ram.

But again, I don't wanna run it real time.. I would like to find a way to render it.

render_node can do this.

Yeah I used to use render-node. I might try again, I remember having issues in the past and not being able to get any help about it on the forums. The folks at cycling should incorporate something like that in their examples / utilities.. and well documented I reckon since non realtime rendering seems to be a massive issue for lots of people.
