What is a video frame rate?

Video frame rate, measured in frames per second (FPS), is how many frames or still images a video shows per second. Videos are essentially fast-moving images – the more images per second, the higher the frame rate and the smoother the video. You also can think of frame rate like a flipbook. The faster you flip the pages, the smoother the animation!

What are the most common video frame rates?

- 24 FPS - the standard for movies & TV shows; gives a natural look almost similar to how human eyes perceive motion - 30 FPS - also commonly used in TV shows and 4K gaming; it gives a smoother, more realistic result than 24 FPS videos - 60 FPS - great for slow-motion videos; it displays details that are easy to miss at lower frame rates

How do I change frame rate on a video?

1. Upload your Video or GIF 2. Hit ‘Export’ 3. Select ‘Switch to Advanced’ 4. To reduce framerate, drag the ‘Framerate Limit’ button left 5. To increase it, drag button to the right 6. Press ‘Export Video’ to download

What is the difference between frame rate and video speed?

Video speed refers to the “duration” of the video, and how long it takes to move from beginning to end. The frame rate refers to how many frames (images) it flips per second. In other words, a slower speed would mean you finish the video quicker. A smaller frame rate would mean the video flips through fewer frames per second. This would make it look jumpier, as if it was freezing for a split-second.

What is the best frame rate for slow motion videos?

The best frame rate for slow motion videos is 60 FPS to 240 FPS, or even higher. It depends on the look or effects you want to achieve, and the capabilities of your camera and video editor.

Which frame rate should I choose?

It depends. If you want to make your video easier to download and share, a lower frame rate is the way to go. Lower frame rates mean smaller file sizes. Movies and films are typically played at 24fps or 30fps. Higher frame rates like 60fps are perfect for high-quality HD videos, but they tend to have larger file sizes.

Is 30 or 60 FPS better for video quality?

If you want a clearer, smoother video, 60 FPS is better than 30 FPS. But if you want to make your video easier to download and share, a lower frame rate is the way to go.

How many frames per second are YouTube videos?

You can upload and watch videos on YouTube with a maximum frame rate of 60 FPS.
