I work on my macbook laptop with blender version 5.0.1, and animation as simple as this is dropping my fps to 8. I didn't have this problem when any of my other projects up until now.
Hi Grace,
Sorry you're having frame rate issues.
These files shouldn't be difficult for your computer to handle but here's a couple things to check.
- Display in solid mode (not material or rendered mode) that will slow it down a lot
- Limit the amount of 3d views and animation editors you can see. (each one takes your computer's power when hitting play)
- You can change it to 'frame dropping' > 'sync to audio'
- Is your computer doing anything else at the same time (spotlight indexing, 700 tabs open on your browser, editing that awesome YT video you're working on etc)
- Does it run slow on a new blank file (open it up, hit play, does it it 24fps)
- You can also turn on simplify under the scene settings. (add this to your quick favourites so you can enable/disable really quickly)
Hope that helps.
Let me know how you go.
