Smoothest Way To Play Video

[Brent Anderson]

Hello.

Since you're probably using QuickTime for playback, you could look  
into running it through a more appropriate compressor,perhaps  
reducing the keyframe rate and/or adjusting the compressor itself to  
motion graphics on medium quality. If the callbacks are on an even  
frequency, you could try using a send-to loop and convert the movie  
to a GIF.

Thanks,
Brent Anderson
