Don't Seek Faster than the Preview can Render

[MrPaulAR]

I have ctrl+right arrow set to seek forward by 1 second.

The issue I'm seeing is that on some videos the timer scrolls very fast, much much faster than the videos are being rendered. Is there a way to limit the speed of going from second to second to however fast my PC can render the preview frames?

Another way to say this is my PC is rendering about 1 of every 20 frames sometimes so holding down the right arrow results in missing possible cut points.

Note, I'm not talking about timeline seek acceleration as it's already disabled and set to 1.

maybe you need to lower your keyboard repeat rate inside windows settings. other than that there's not really any way to throttle the seek events other than letting go of the button. also make sure you have the latest version of losslesscut because it had some improvements related to this in recent versions.

Thanks for the feedback. Was hoping there was an application like to ensure a frame is displayed for some fraction of time but if that (or another workaround) doesn't exist today and/or out of scope for the future it's all good.

In recent versions of losslesscut the seek action will wait for the «seeked» event (meaning the frame has been shown on screen). I noticed a significant improvement in preview while seeking on macos, but maybe it doesnt work in all cases / all OSes
