Play is choppy but scrubbing is perfect

Sure, I can look at the files.

Looking at your video, I'm not necessarily convinced playback is actually slower, because as you scrub you're skipping frames that playback is not skipping over. And it's updating fast enough in both scenarios that it playing at 15fps and you scrubbing around at 15fps will look different just because you're not scrubbing over the exact list of sequential frames and enough are being skipped that it feels faster.

A real test would be running this MAXScript, which simulates scrubbing but doesn't miss any frames:

Code:

for j in 0 to 100 do
(
    slidertime = j
)

If that script doesn't execute any faster than regular playback, then it means scrubbing is actually happening at the same speed. If that script does seem to execute faster than playback, then it would appear you've come across some kind of bug.

Thanks for this.

The script plays it quite smoohtly too. Hitting 18 fps, where as playing in realtime is roughly 7 fps and without realtime enabled is roughly 10 fps.
