Recording movie from spout in

General TouchDesigner Discussion
1

Hi

I am Experimenting With machine Learning under python anaconda env.
I send video from td to python thanks to spout out and I get results in td with spout in.
I would like to record movies from images coming in spout in.
My problem : td is running at 60 fps but the images from spout in have a low frame rate.
So how could I get the spout in frame rate and adapt the td fps to record movie at 30 fps for example ?

Thanks

Hi @shieman you can change the global frame rate of touch in the bottom left corner:

Changing the target FPS there will change this for your project. You can also set the frame rate for recorded video in the export video dialogue box, or on the movie file out TOP.

Thanks Ragan,

Is there a way to get the fps of a top, the spout in top in this case ?

To my knowledge there isn’t a FPS per top idea in TouchDesigner - especially as TOPs are really just textures that can update at any interval.

Another way to approach this might be to think of capturing a frame sequence (you can turn a frame sequence into a movie with lots of different tools). That would add an extra step, but might make some of this easier to handle.

I supposed it was not possible to get a top fps.
Movie sequence is a good way I think too.
Thanks a lot
