Animations freeze in the studio when Riverside enables performance mode

Performance mode automatically activates if your computer experiences strain during the live recording sessions or while using virtual backgrounds or visual effects. This ensures that all your computer's power is directed towards a smooth recording.

If performance mode doesn't improve the performance of the virtual background or visual effect, then the recording automatically stops, the virtual background or visual effect is removed, and the recording restarts--all at once. 

Performance mode does not affect the final quality of your recording tracks.
