FAQ #
What is the resolution and frame rate of the videos ?
The videos are in Full HD (1080p) resolution, with a 60fps frame rate.
What is the original BPM of the videos?
As used in the VJing world, all videos are animated at 120 BPM. This allows the videos to cover a wide range of BPMs without significantly reducing the frame rate.
Additionally, using a 120 BPM animation base makes it easy for artists to synchronise their animations with the seconds.
Do I have to redownload the videos every time I need them?
No. This is not a streaming service.
Once a video is downloaded, it stays on your hard drive. (Located in « documents/DJUCED/Videos »).
