> Is there a reason why this is longer than a single frame?
Ok, experiment done! User "Arnex02" on the DH2 talk page http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Talk:Dishonored_2
supplied all black movie(s), "each" a second long, indeed resulting in 4 seconds of blackness. I took that movie and converted it to have only FIVE frames (still 33ms per frame), so it should overall be very short. Tried it - took very long (but worked).
Either way - that's uncomfortable, because just blackness, and for such a long time, is unsatisfactory. With the current movies, we're good: You can see the blockiness of the movie's start 4 times, so you see progress and see that everything's working out.
So, what about the much too long FIVE frames of blackness?
Well - if you look at the game's start with my "Arcane Studios" movies, you'll notice that the last time the movie runs, it takes a lot longer. I guess the game just needs some time before it can move on (and it probably does stuff while the movies play).
TL;DR: Doesn't get any shorter, anyway.
