The frame rate appears to lag a lot but the sound works fine.
Also, I feel that the animation on my desktop is lagging a bit too. Videos on firefox and chrome work fine.
I have upgraded from 16.10 LTS.
I have hp pavilion with i5 processor
gnome 18.04 video-player animations

I personally use mpv. It is amazing. No lag at all. I will suggest you to give it a try.

Using MPV with SMPlayer frontend for over a uear now. Lighter and very good quality playback. However if animation lags throughout the whole system you probably should try a lighter Ubuntu flavours. My personal favourite is Xubuntu :-)

Is the monitor refresh rate.
   With me it happened in any video that was in the browser or Totem VLC etc.
    Under Settings go to> Devices> Monitors> Resolution. click to change. At this point there is the resolution chosen by the system and just below the same resolution. choose the second option and the Update Rate will appear. Choose the one from your monitor if not already ... 60Hz, 120Hz etc. Do the test.

this didn't fix my problem. I am sure it comes from somewhere else. It affects many softwares: Cheese, Super Tux Cart, VLC (when you rewind in the film), youtube, Hangouts and every software where video is played.
