Running CEP Extensions at above 30fps on MacOS

[amazing_fashion5C22]

I have noticed that on MacOS, despite my best attempts, the rendering of any extension panel seems to be capped at 30fps.

My best attempt to fix the issue was adding these to my manifest:

  <Parameter>--windowless-frame-rate=60</Parameter>
  <Parameter>--disable-frame-rate-limit</Parameter>
  <Parameter>--disable-gpu-vsync</Parameter>
  <Parameter>--disable-gpu</Parameter>
  <Parameter>--disable-gpu-compositing</Parameter>
  <Parameter>--hardware-acceleration=false</Parameter>
  <Parameter>--hardware-video-decode-framerate=0</Parameter>
  <Parameter>--enable-begin-frame-scheduling</Parameter>

It unlocks a higher fps, but some interactions can feel out of sync from time to time, so I wouldn't want to rely on this when releasing my extension.

Does anyone have a better idea?

Thanks

Hi @amazing_fashion5C22,

Thank you for reporting this issue. It appears to be a general issue with CEP panels and not specific to After Effects, so we have let the CEP team know about it. They are aware of it and are looking to improve this in future versions of the CEP framework.

Thanks again for the report,

- John, After Effects Engineering Team
