Abstract: In some embodiments, a method renders a first set of objects at a first frame rate and a second set of objects at a second frame rate that is lower than the first frame rate. The method displays the second set of objects for a number of frames based on the second frame rate while displaying the rendered first set of objects at the first frame rate. It is determined when to render a new second set of objects at a different frame rate than the second frame rate. When it is determined that the new second set of objects should be rendered at the different frame rate than the second frame rate, the method renders the new second set of objects at a third frame rate different from the second frame rate.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the method renders a first set of objects at a first frame rate and a second set of objects at a second frame rate that is lower than the first frame rate. The second set of objects is stored in a buffer. Then, the method displays the second set of objects from the buffer for a number of frames based on the second frame rate while the rendered first set of objects is displayed at the first frame rate. When a visual change associated with the second set of objects over multiple frames meets a threshold, the method renders the second object at a third frame rate different from the second frame rate based on the visual change meeting the threshold.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method retrieves mask information for creating a visual effect in a three-dimensional (3D) video. The mask information includes an outline of an object. The video is stored in a first buffer. The mask information is processed in a second buffer to create a mesh that extrudes from the outline of the object. The mesh includes values that describe a shading of the mesh and the mesh being formed around the outline of the object. The method then adjusts the values of the mesh in the second buffer to minimize discontinuities in gradients created in the mesh. When a time to display the visual effect is reached in the video, the method renders the mesh from the second buffer with video from the first buffer to form the visual effect around the object to indicate that an interaction with the object is available in the video.
