Solvespace's demo video was recorded at 8 fps #25

The demo video on https://solvespace.com/index.pl runs at 8 fps. I downloaded the video and opened it in VLC to check the Codec and confirm that it isn't an issue with my PC or web browser.

When I was first looking for a FOSS alternative to SolidWorks, this demo video was the only thing I knew about SolveSpace and it dissuaded me from looking into the software further. It can be difficult to watch and gives the impression that the software is exceptionally unoptomized. Fortunately, I rediscovered SolveSpace a short time later while looking through FreeCAD tutorials on YouTube.

I believe the video should be recreated at 30 or 60 FPS. The resolution of the video could also be improved, but this is less of an issue because the content being shown isn't complex or small enough to get blurry. I think the functionality demonstrated in the video is perfectly fine, but if I were to change anything, I would include the side menu in frame, as the current video implies that everything has to be done with keyboard shortcuts.

I wonder if it's worthwhile linking to a higher-fidelity video for those with bandwidth. The current one, as minimized in size as it is, is still almost 30MB.

I think it's a moot point. In my opinion the video is fine as it is. There are/will be enough FullHD, 60fps videos of someone clicking on the black SolveSpace screen on the net.
