I was wondering if there was any way to give a higher priority to one renderer compared to the others.
Let me explain :

Lets say I have a display link and two renderers :
- one to display movies
- one to display some text scrolling

I would accept the first one to display only 10fps lets say
BUT
I would like the second one to be at least 50fps otherwise the text scrolling is ugly

If I dont render the video renderer, it appears blinking :-(
If I don't change anything, the text speed is not constant at all and looks bad :-(

Is there anything I can do to improve the text display?

This shouldn't be needed: if your movie is a 10FPS movie for instance, the movie patch will only refresh internally at 10FPS and compute / produce a new image when necessary.

I think I did not explain my situation properly.

My Movie is a 30fps movie BUT I would accept it to play "slowly" if the computer is too loaded.

But not the text scrolling. I want this one smooth. Always.

And yes that's right, it renders only the frames needed

Ddoes your performance problem goes away depending on the type of you movie you use? If you just use the movie QCRenderer, is it smooth?

Yes, it depends on the movie.

Actually I have my problem only when two HDs movies are playing at the same time.

Therefore : no, with just the movie renderer, its not smooth.

But I would like the text scrolling to be smooth anyway... to give it a higher priority in a way ...
