QTW 24 - Getting Pictures from Movies, GetMoviePict Slowness (1-May-95)


Q Why is GetMoviePict slow?

A The reason this call is slow is that it needs to back all the way to the key frame and build the real PICT with the deltas. Having lots of key frames in the movie should somewhat speed up the function.

Another, faster approach is to let the Movie Controller step the movie one frame at a time and display this frame.
