Profiling
Enable/Disable performance profiling
Click on this button, and you will see how much time each of your elements costs:
This is golden technique to optimize content in Smode! Other optimization techniques are described in Use optimisation tools to accelerate a composition .
Note that profiling may have a minimal impact on the overall performance of the compo, so it’s better to turn it off onceoptimization is done.
Profiling sometimes might be slightly imprecise, especially in complex scenes with
Shared Element
,
Parent Input layer
or other kinds of indirection. In such cases, if you really want a fine measure of
how much the composition actually costs, the most reliable way is:
-
Disable vertical synchronization in the engine preferences
-
Enable the ON-AIR mode
-
Check the
GPU Memory Meter
and
FPS Meter
in the bottom-right side of the user interface (green rectangle in the image above)
