Losing frames when saving animation!

When ever I'm done working on my animation project I'll save the data lets say 30 frames only to come back later to find that the number of frames has dropped to 21. I'm using the USB servo controller board and the PSCI software.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

    Did you have a look under the table? Maybe they fell down!


    Sorry, could not resist ;o)


    First of all, welcome to the forum.

    But you have to help us a bit more, so that we can help you. Who do you think will understand what you wrote without the knowledge you have? You have to explain a bit more detailed what your setup and your problem is.

    Well, in a very general sense, losing animation frames happens when:

    The image data cannot be collected or computed fast enough to meet the specified frame rate

    , and / or

    The I/O system tool chain from image to storage cannot store the data fast enough to meet the specified frame rate, or is not robust enough to carry the data at a sustained rate matching that frame rate. (errors)

    You got a bottleneck somewhere. It's either compute, or I/O, and without knowing how the animation is being created, what the data looks like, the compute and I/O requirements cannot be known and or tested against it.
