Remarks
Under the default setting, frames are dropped while previewing slow effects or transitions, to keep the video synchronized with the audio. The video might look choppy as a result. Setting this attribute to FALSE forces every frame to render during preview, possibly resulting in the video becoming out of sync with the audio. Frames are never dropped when writing to a file.
