# frameDropped

A frame decode operation status that indicates the system dropped the output of the frame for a reason other than an error.

```
static var frameDropped: MEDecodeFrameStatus { get }
```

## Discussion

The decoder sets this value if [`doNotOutputFrame`](/documentation/MediaExtension/MEDecodeFrameOptions/doNotOutputFrame) is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>.
