Nowadays KZbin on pc I think it handles 60fps too

[@Aristadoe]

I had filmed a video for a friend, and I set the camera to I believe 60 frames per second and above that for certain scenes. And those same scenes when I uploaded to youtube looked pixelated just like in your video @ 6:19. From now on I'll stick to 30 just to be safe. I wonder why that happens?

[@EdralinCanape]

For a person like me who doesnt have an idea of what FPS is or how FPS works this is really helpful :) Downloaded the file and now know the difference between 30 and 60 fps

[@Babblingboolean]

Sorry for the delay, been busy with uni. FPS has nothing to do with the speed of the object being recorded. You can record a person standing still in high fps. You can only achieve high fps if your camera allows it. For ex: Trying to convert a 24fps video into 60fps wouldn't be true 60fps, because it has to be recorded in 60fps in the first place. 60fps cameras are very rare for some reason, even $4000 don't record 1080p at 60fps.

[@courtsandlan5014]

😂😂😂 your impression was hilarious!

[@RenRenRan]

This was a much-needed refresher for me! Thank you so much! :D

[@Eddierayilerjr]

You could reload it in 60 fps. Which is the new current KZbin cap for fps. Only on 720 & 1080p though.

[@Eddierayilerjr]

[@Babblingboolean]

Just got the WX100 and for some reason I remembered your comment lol. I'll have a review up in a couple of weeks due to finals coming up soon. Without getting into extensive detail though, the quality for picture and video is the same. That's actually a good thing since both are amazing cameras. As mentioned I'll go over the differences when I have time.

Oh man, my computer couldn't even run the file at full speed, my FPS was reading ~40ish, hehe..Time for an upgrade I think. Thanks again, while it's a simple concept, you really went out of your way to explain it. I'm pretty exited to check out your other videos =)

[@WinArmyOfficial]

so frames per second are frames per second, whats the big deal if you dont know when and how to use them!?

[@Babblingboolean]

Then it doesn't matter, not big deal. It's essential for video creators and video editors to know though. For other people it's just nice to expand their knowledge. PC gamers try to aim to have their games play back at 60fps for smooth game play.

[@andyc4685]

Yea fps is huge in gaming

[@TravelHere]

Hmmm I'm not sure yet if I will use 30 or 60 fps to record travel videos. I love the smoothness of 60 fps

[@Babblingboolean]

Slow motion won't make 60fps turn to 30fps per say, because it depends on slow you make the slow motion ex. 2x slow motion, 4x slow motion etc. However, you are correct, slow motion would be smoother with a video recorded at 60fps then it would at say 24fps.

Thanks for explaining (FPS) I was so confused on what that means you explain so well. Thanks for video 🤗🤗

[@jegtalerikkedansk]

Best explanation I have found for FPS - thank you!!!

[@rafisudirman]

if i shoot the video 24 fps (for normal footage) and 60 fps (for slow motion), How should i render it? Should it be rendered on 60 or 24 fps???

[@Babblingboolean]

Render it in 24fps. Since the 60fps footage is being slowed down and the other footage is 24fps, then rendering it in 24fps will be best.

[@gavinfarrell414]

So why is it when you lower the frame rate the depth of field is more shallow

[@jaredwhite489]

So my FaceTime calls are 1fps 😂

[@rodrigo4379]

So should i record at 50p 28m or 60p 28m? More fps less dtata so less quality right?

[@Nellychanelle]

You explained that well. So my fps would be high if i were to shoot for instance a car race? I guess im more confused as to when would i ever shoot anything lower than 24fps.I also just purchased a canon T3i I noticed that it had the FPS option and so does final cut pro x would i keep the same settings ?oR WOULD i change it to make certain adj and if so could you pretty plz state an example . Im sure there are others wondering the same

[@brian1625]

So if I have this figured out. 60FPS in Slow Motion works at 30FPS. Makes slow motion smoother, right?

[@TheCip93]

So in 60 fps you see "faster" image but at 120 why it's considered slow motion ?

[@Babblingboolean]

+Cipriano You're referring to videos where they take 120fps footage and slow it down. Since there are more images a second recorded, it can be slowed down more and look smoother.

[@AJ287772]

So is KZbin still capped at 30 FPS. It's been 3 years so maybe I can see 60fps? Also does a device you use have to be able to handle 60 fps like I know cheap phones can't record 60 fps but can they watch 60 fps

[@Babblingboolean]

KZbin started supporting 60fps recently.

[@deathasuna8909]

Hey says the higher the frame rate the faster the image but i see some other yt videos recording at 2500 fps but it is very slow i need help

[@Babblingboolean]

What those people did was record at a high fps and then in a video editing tool, they slowed it down. The more fps, when it's slowed down, the smoother the video is.

[@kevinsono]

sooo playing games at 30 fps or above is just fine then. Btw at high settings. Graphics matter to me.

[@Babblingboolean]

+Kevin Echols-EL Yup, hardcore gamers will want that 60fps gaming experience but it's quite expensive to accomplish (at really high graphics).

[@bobbyken100]

+Babbling Boolean "quite expensive" Actually, it isn't that expensive

[@kevinsono]

bobbyken100 it is expensive. If you want ultra graphics depending on what game you wanna play. Since there's always more games coming out they usually need either a better processor which is expensive in it self or a better graphics card

[@dylanthomas7443]

Thanks for the valuable info. Just wanted to know. Which is the cheapest cameras that can get 60 fps and above? When does speeds over 60fps become necessary? and finally what are the highest speeds available? I was just looking at a hasselblad H6D-100c and the max is only 30fps. Thankyou.

[@Babblingboolean]

1. Cheapest camera: not sure there are too many to research which might have 60fps, although many top of the line Android cellphones have this feature built-in 2. Anything above 60fps is only necessary when you want to take your footage and put it in slow-mo, it'll provide a smoother picture 3. Not sure about highest, Google search

[@Babblingboolean]

There are none. You would even get used to the fast forward effect after watching 60fps clips for a while. I watched one of my cousin's bday videos which was about 20 minutes (recorded in 60fps) and then started watching regular TV, regular TV seemed too slow, not as fluid and less smooth. It's just sad that more people don't accept it.

[@mattmc5069]

isn't there a difference between field rate and frame rate? I'm curious

[@Babblingboolean]

That's pretty good but I would change low to 11-23 and Normal to 24-30 since most TV shows and movies for example play back between 24 and 30. Basically any camera that is 31fps or above is rare and difficult to find since people are used to generally 30fps.

[@Qasim0121]

Hi brother love the video helped me loads. Please answer this question. why is 24 fps considered best for shooting movies?? or is it best to stick to 30fps?

[@Babblingboolean]

+Jondab Artist 24fps just became the cinematic standard after years of movie releases. If you watch a 48fps or 60fps movie it would look like people are moving in fast forward mode even though it's more realistic, after a few minutes of watching it your eyes and brain would get used to it. People just became accustomed to 24fps and since people hate change, Hollywood decided to keep it that way which is a little unfortunate.

[@benk6737]

+Babbling Boolean Is this why some shows, videos, news soap operas, etc. seem to look "cheap" even though they seem smoother? I'm just more used to 24 used for major movies and shows? Or is there some actual psychological or biological reason that less smooth is preferred for the big movies?

[@CubamusPrime]

48fps to 60fps on movies feels like is being shot live in a game

[@tobmello1]

I thought the higher the frame rate, the more it slows down. Meaning when you shoot in a very low FPS it looks like everything is moving very fast, but when you shoot in 60 FPS its like slow motion video.

[@sharenmoore2275]

Tad disappointed as I was hoping I was one of those who think they know FPS but actually don’t , I didn’t learn anything here but you’re still awesome

[@davidchalon5466]

Strange when i open statistic panel of youture it shows me : Optimal Resolution: 1920x1080@30fps 30fps ? i think youtube allow 60fps read now

[@Babblingboolean]

That's right, this video was made before KZbin could support 60fps.

[@WolfiKurisu]

You rock dude, thanks so much for this video. The comparisons you did really helped, it was nice to see the differences contrasted =) I guess there's probably a limit to the FPS the human brain can conceive anyway; I wonder what that is..Thanks again, buddy =)

[@Babblingboolean]

It shouldn't really since most movies and TV shows playback at 30fps and even as low as 24fps yet 24fps is what most people are used to watching for movies. For a hardcore gamer's opinion ask around the net.

[@leratonomyayi541]

Best explanation ever!!!

[@MemphisMike901]

So I am curious...I have shot motorcycle footage with a GoPro, and noticed sometimes the "trees" will be somewhat blurred at times. Is that a fps issue that KZbin has brought down to 30fps or is that a resolution problem? I shoot all my vids in 60fps for my MotoVlogs, however...I never edit and "slow" things down. Am I wasting space really by doing this? Thanks...great vid!

[@Babblingboolean]

+MemphisMike Recently KZbin increased their fps cap to 60 (after my my video was made). In that regard I'm not sure what might be causing the issue then. It's certainly not a resolution issue, that has nothing to do with how "blurred" or "smooth" the picture is. There's something else going on, you'll have to double check if your original clip is indeed at 60fps and your KZbin upload settings.

[@demonofgodz6665]

What about if you have a 166 frames per second

[@Zack_Darce]

Cinematic movies are shot in 24fps.. why did you skip the most prevalent frame rate? Yes they are played back on TV at 30fps (29.97fps) But if you go to the movies you are seeing 24fps.. or 48fps in the case of the hobbit.. and 60fps during Saving Private Ryan

[@gavinfarrell414]

So why is it that when you record a video at like 20 frames and you play It back at let's say 30 frames per second it speeds up

[@alexanderlei3212]

Well then for example 15 fps is played at 30 fps there with be two of the same frames

[@gavinfarrell414]

Alexander Lei oh ok

[@7raoulbot]

There are less pictures so if something recorded at 20, Is played back at 30 it takes and plays 30 per second so if u recorded at 20 it's playing playing 30 frames per 1.5 seconds but playing at 1 second which is why it speeds up

[@gavinfarrell414]

raoul ramirez ok thank you

[@Qikskill]

Awesome video 🌟

[@nikolastsr3453]

Not many things explained in this video. I can’t remember how familiar with fps most people was back in 2012 but now in 2021 this video doesn’t looks too useful. Yes, frames pes second is actually how many “images” per second your camera can capture and playback. But before mobiles phones of 2012, this concept was used for years in animated movies. Animators wanted to make thing look “moving” but also achieving that with the minimum amount of work. So they figured out that 6 sketches per second (6fps) was close enough but 12fps was actually better, giving them smoother animation. After that some big studios (like Disney) that had the budget decided to animate in 24fps for even smoother animations. And that was the standard form movies for many years. As for how many fps we can see… Although we see with our eyes, we perceive “motion” (and vision in general) with our brains. So even with slow fps our brain tries to “interpret” a motion pattern, after about 12fps it “sees” a continuous motion and after about 24fps a “smooth” motion. Of course we can see movies with 30, 60 120 or more fps but this doesn’t mean that if you put a black frame in a 60fps movie your brain will be able to “see” it. Some people may actually see because don’t all brains work the same, but most brains will “discard” the frame that didn’t “match” the rest of the animation. This was actually a common think in old movies and animations, adding a “random” image inside the movie without no one noticing, just for fun. There even were experiments on this subject, on how many brains can “see” this images (subconsciously) and if you can pass messages to people without them knowing. The main reason why we don’t have many 60fps or 120fps movies is because with lower fps (24) the cameras can capture images with more motion blur witch is perceived by our brains as smoother motion. On the other hand 60fps gives crispier images witch seem to us as more “digital”. But we can always capture in 120, 240 or more fps and play them back in 24fps to achieve a “smooth” slow motion effect. That’s all for now. Maybe someone else can add to my comments. And maybe we can come back in 8-10 years to add more things.

[@ifell3]

Good video, my question is a cam shooting 4k @ 30fps vs a 2k @ 60 fps, file size and quality??

[@Babblingboolean]

That's nearly impossible to answer. All cameras are different, even my DSLR camera recording in 1080p at 30fps will have a different size and quality compared to a pocket camera recording also in 1080p at 30fps.

[@ifell3]

Hi cheers for the reply, yes different processor etc, but on the same camera. Do you prefer video from a 4k/30 or a 2k/60 re rendered to 1080p? Is that a more doable question? Regards
