How to get a smooth screen recording of an animated 3D website
Tell Vizard Agent where the recording stutters. It measures how often the picture actually changes, not the file's frame rate. When a 3D page only updates a few times a second during capture, it slows the page's own animation clock while recording and speeds the footage back up in the edit, so every frame holds real motion.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Say that the motion itself looks jerky, from the start, not just at one cut. Exporting at a higher frame rate cannot fix a recording that repeated its frames, so the point is to tell Vizard Agent the capture is the problem. Give the page link if it can be recorded again.
The video bounces a bit, and it isn't smooth from the very beginning. Why? Please fix it.
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
It checks the capture before the edit. A browser busy rendering 3D animation drops frames while it records, and the file then repeats old frames to fill its frame rate, so it stutters even at 30 frames a second. In the session behind this article it:
- Compared the opening of the raw capture with the finished cut and found the picture changed meaningfully only about 3.6 times a second, in a capture running at 25 frames a second.
- Recorded the site again with its animation clock slowed to an eighth of real speed, by taking over the page's timers, so the browser had time to draw every step of the motion.
- Sped the new footage back up in the edit and measured it frame by frame: the long runs of near-identical frames in the old opening were gone.
- Tightened the selection when a review still found a shot moving too slowly to read as motion, and avoided the site's own white flash transitions.
- Replaced a jump between two screenshots with a fixed composition, and kept the narration, titles and length as they were.
When does this not work well?
When the page can't be loaded the same way again, such as live data or a login Vizard Agent doesn't have. Re-recording needs the same page and the same moves. Without them, the original capture is all there is, and the best fix is shorter, steadier selections from it.
Common questions
Will a higher frame rate fix it? No. Repeated frames stay repeated. Vizard Agent re-records the motion.
Does the speed look different? No. Vizard Agent speeds the slowed capture back to normal.
Does it keep my narration? Yes. Vizard Agent replaces only the moving footage.
