ScrollTrigger Video Scrubbing: Chrome Desktop Performance Issues

[jovenfabuloso]

Setup:

• Video hosted on Cloudinary
• FFmpeg encoded
• Chrome mobile = smooth, Safari = smooth, Chrome desktop = choppy

What I've tried:

• Lower scrub values (0.05-0.1)
• preload="metadata" vs preload="auto

Question: Is there a recommended approach for smooth video scrubbing in Chrome desktop?
Any insights on why Chrome desktop handles this differently than Chrome mobile would be appreciated!

Hi @jovenfabuloso welcome to the forum!

 

Check out this topic where a lot is being disced about video encoding, ect. I would also set scrub: true, instead of adding a delay to the scrub that way everthing is direct 

 

 

Hope it helps and happy tweening!
