Each bind has a stretch threshold. Overstretch occurs when the length of a bind exceeds that threshold. The overstretch frames setting means that a bind will only tear if it is overstretched for the specified number of frames, in a row. If the bind length becomes less than the overstretch threshold at any given frame, its overstretch frame counter will be reset and it will not tear until the next time the number of frames in a row that it is overstretched exceeds the specified overstretch frame count.
