Ultimate Guide to FRAME RATES for CINEMATIC VIDEO - When to use 24, 25, 30, 50, 60, 100, 120 FPS?

[@brandanroberts3381]

Jacques, in my opinion, is the best videographer to follow on KZbin. Each video actually teaches, without all the fluff and leaves the viewer with actionable tips to walk away with. Keep it up man!

[@jacques_crafford]

Dude! Thanks Brendan, that means so much to me! My goal is to add value without wasting time

[@notnikola]

Plus his footage is actually incredible!

[@DwiWarsantoBudiN.]

Ini bagus, aku suka.

[@xazez]

Same opinion here

[@solomonmsiza8929]

I agree

[@justkayy]

Probably the one of the best tutorials out there! Straight to the point🙌🏽

[@jacques_crafford]

Dude, your comment just made my day! THANK YOU!

[@DwiWarsantoBudiN.]

It's to he best

[@henryfu8511]

There are so many videos on YT about frame rates, yet u still somehow provide new and useful information. This is the kind of content everyone needs :)

[@jacques_crafford]

Thanks Henry, I also watched a few and felt like I wanted to share it in my own way and hopefully share something different!

[@MrDarkpaf]

Exactly. I didn't expect to learn much about the subject, but I was very wrong :) Shooting my 1st wedding tommoroy, so I might stick to 50 fps post of the time

[@markrussell.]

This is the absolute best video I have ever seen on KZbin explaining frame rates, I learned so much from this. Thank You, liked and subscribed!

[@jacques_crafford]

Glad it helped you! Thank you so much for the sub and for the compliment! 🔥

[@xain86k70]

As a fellow South African, I'm proud to say that this is by far the best shutter/framerate video tutorial I've ever seen. Great job.

[@jacques_crafford]

Oh wow, what a big compliment. I really appreciate that! 🙏

[@Jo-AshR]

Great tips! All with real time examples. I can imagine how much time it takes you to put these videos together. Keep it up the great content!

[@jacques_crafford]

Haha thanks bru, it took me over a week to make this so getting a comment like yours mean the world to me!

[@Felix-kv4ev]

This is what I needed right now because the whole NTSC/PAL was so confusing to me especially whether or not I have to edit the clips on 24fps or 25. You are becoming my favourite filmmaker! Your clips are just so crisp and they make me excited to keep on going and learn more everyday.

[@jacques_crafford]

Thank you Felix, that is a huge compliment to me, I hope to make many more valuable tutorials!

[@finalsketchuk]

I genuinely learn something that changes the way I look at videography and editing with every single one of these videos. Always look forward to seeing what you do next! Thankyou!

[@jacques_crafford]

These are the comments that make it all worth it! Thanks mate

[@antoinemercier82]

You became one of my favorite youtubers! One by one, you are filling the gaps, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Can't wait to see your next tutorial

[@ALMusicProduction]

I'm glad that I've found your channel. The way your camera shots are taken and look! Top Level for sure! And your videos are made exactly in the perfect length without spending time on less important stuff or let's say small talk. Keep up the great work!

[@jacques_crafford]

Thanks brother, you are most kind! Really happy to hear you like the format in which I do these, can't wait to create more!

[@christoffelbotha2087]

Really awesome to see someone from South Africa on KZbin who knows what he is talking about. Local is mos Lekker Jacques.

[@MarkDavis2168]

Thanks so much for taking the time to create this video Jacques, as a noob just trying to find my way this is bar far the best video explaining frame rates.

[@jacques_crafford]

You're welcome Mark, I remember trying to figure this out many years ago and feeling lost. Grateful for your support!

[@TJORIMAGES]

Straight to the point, also sincere and honest sharing to the world.. love the pace of the explanations 🙏🏽 thanks for everything, as film school is not for everyone(money wise) blessings from Mauritius 🇲🇺

So glad to hear that, you're welcome!

[@KobusTollig1]

What an amazing why of teaching about frame rate. Thank you Jacques!

[@jacques_crafford]

Lekker bra bless jou!

[@GruntProof]

Great stuff! I switched to 24 for the "cinematic" look for a year, and the problems I had with mixing varying frame rates far out-weighed any benefits I found with 24. It's just too hard to work with when you have multiple video sources of different settings.

[@voiceofsoul7865]

Dear Mr. Jacques Crafford, I believe this video is more comprehensible for a layman person like me. You have left nothing to raise any further queries. Hats off bro. for this nice video.

I saw this in my suggested and was pretty worried it would be yet another youtuber who is misinforming everyone with what "cinematic" is. thank god this is actually what people need to hear. good stuff my dude.

[@jacques_crafford]

Thanks my dude! I have to say the title still cringes me up but since people always ask this question I had to make a video about it and hopefully they will watch the entire thing and realise that it's not such an easy answer as "just shoot slowmo".

*OUTSTANDING* video Jacques! I'm new to video and I've been looking at hundreds of KZbin clips on frame rates, but yours is without a doubt the best of all of them (and you're also a Saffa to boot!). The only thing that confuses me is why it took me so long to find your channel. Now excuse me while I go and binge watch your other videos (after liking and subscribing). 😀

I'm a videographer for about 3 years. Still exploring and learning through KZbin. And I was looking for a video that has a good explanation about the uses of frame rates, the differences, and when to use them. I was looking for this video for almost a year. Big THANKS to YOU!

I spend a lot of time on KZbin trying to learn from people who don't know much themselves. I guess I'll just limit myself to your channel and the official Blackmagic Design channel. This will save myself a lot of time and confusion. For a change, it's nice to hear the voice of someone who isn't trying to be the biggest star in his videos. Cheers.

[@jacques_crafford]

Dude! Thanks man, that means so much to me! My goal with the channel is 100% this, NO BS, more value!

[@halimrahman]

Great explanation! As I live in Denmark, I naturally began shooting in 25p when I started filming my surroundings. Transitioning from a GoPro with built-in horizontal stabilisation to a Sony camera with only SteadyShot, I noticed that 25p footage seemed a bit choppy. Thankfully, I received advice to record in 30p and then slow it down to 24p, resulting in smoother playback. Since Sony cameras adhere strictly to either NTSC or PAL standards, I switched all my cameras to NTSC. However, during editing, I set the timeline to 24p, meaning I have to bid farewell to shooting in 25p and 50p for the time being.

Jacques, congratulations for your channel. I need to say that in the Brazil the workflow is NTSC. Pal-M color system used in analogic broadcast only in the air transmission and received in old tube TVs. In the studios all productions are NTSC till today. A curiosity: in Brazil the VHS VCRs pro and domestics many years ago had a button to watch PAL-M or NTSC. All Hollywood films till the events was a NTSC format.
