Oct. 24th, 2021 02:28 pmDear Festividder,
Thank you for making me a vid!
I have one thing that I put outside the cut tag, because I have a couple visual triggers:
1) Super fast flashes of lights or colors that have high contrast. Almost all vids are fine for me, but some that intercut scenes for two or three frames at a time can trigger this. It depends on the amount of contrast between the two scenes – stutter cuts are fine between two similar scenes, but not between one dark green and one bright red lit scene, or between a nighttime and daytime scene. Strobe lights (in the source) or strobe light effects (in the vid) can also trigger this. These have to be very fast to bother me - it really is like the strobe light effect.
2) Frame rate fuckery - when a show or a vid plays 24 fps footage in 30 fps or vice versa. So, like, when a film puts footage at the wrong frame rate to make it feel awkward or tense, which is super common in action films these days. (For example, the Bucky/Steve knife fight on the street in Winter Solider.) It can also happen by accident, if footage at one frame rate is put into a project with a different frame rate, or sometimes when a show needs to stretch or compress footage and they do it by duplicating every third frame. Some people can't see this at all, but to me it looks stuttery.
If you're concerned about either of these, please feel free to run a sample by![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

The rest of this post is additional details if you're interested!
