Please bear with a newbie!

I record my golf swings using Kinovea, but want to import them into a piece of software (called OnForm) that then converts my swing into a 3D model with associated golf measures. OnForm requires a minimum fps of 120. In Kinovea, under Preferences / Capture / Recording, I can set my High Speed Camera Framerate replacement threshold to a 120 (or even higher), but I don’t seem to be able to have a replacement framerate of more than 100.

Am I correct that it’s this latter number (100) that is the fps for recorded videos? OnForm seems to think so and so rejects my videos as being not above 120fps. Is the 100 maximum a Kinovea maximum or is it a function of my PC or something else?

Any ideas much appreciated!

What is the original camera frame rate?
To work around the limitation you could set the threshold to something very high, above the camera frame rate, this way it will never trigger and the final video will have the same frame rate as the capture (no replacement). I think the threshold also maxes out at 1000 fps though.

Thanks so much for that Joan! The original frame rate is 180fps, so I set the threshold to 500. The 100 seems to not trigger, and OnForm happily imports the videos, so now I can see myself in 3D!

I really appreciate the reply, and keep up the great work!!
