differing perception of speed
Yesterday, I showed Qiao the Right Up Our Alley drone video which I posted about before.
But the drone seemed to be flying so fast this time that it felt disorienting and unreal to me. Too fast for me to see much of the bowling alley or the people in it. I could barely make out the words spoken in the video as they went by so quickly too. Certain that the video wasn't playing correctly, I brought it up on another device, but it had (or seemed to have) the same problem there too.
Later that day I compared the video length displayed in the video to the amount of time it took to play; the numbers matched.
Today I had the idea to play back the video at 0.75 speed, and that way it feels and looks much better to me, like when I watched it the first time, though the audio sounds somewhat distorted at the lower speed. I'm still confused as to why the normal playback seems different to me now than before.
