So don't we want to consider everything less than two a drop and everything above two a repeat (but not counting exactly two repeats)? One could compute something like trunc(number_of_times_a_specific_frame_is_repeated - refresh_rate/framerate_of_movie) where positive values give the number of repeats and negative the drops (trunc rounds to the next integer towards zero direction). Note that for 24 frames at 60Hz this would only count the frames which are shown less than two or more than three times, so it will not detect any irregular patterns i.e. missing smoothness. That's the next thing one could think about.
Maybe someone likes to comment on this.  |
Many things are possible, but I don't plan any of that. For the forseeable future repeated frames will only be shown if the movie framerate is roughly identical to the display refresh rate.
