What is Frame-Drop Shedding
Missing frames in time-lapses or high-speed footage, causing jerky playback.

How to Spot Frame-Drop Shedding

• Sudden jumps or stutters in movement.
• Inconsistent frame durations in your editing timeline.

Causes of Frame-Drop Shedding

• Variable frame-rate records (VFR).
• Data overload on the card or slow drive causing dropped frames.

Fixes for Frame-Drop Shedding

• Conform VFR to constant frame-rate in a transcoding step (e.g., Apple Compressor).
• Enable “optical flow” or frame-blend interpolation for smoothing.
• Use stabilization/filter plugins that fill gaps.
