What Frame Rate Should You Be Filming In?

[@carb0nxl]

As a hobby video editor / hobby filmmaker - thank you for the CC! Being Deaf has posed many challenges in trying to find educational content on YT because you need to know the correct terminology, words (such as options or terms to look for in software, such as FCPX) when watching tutorials for software or even for video / filmmaking. I wanted to just thank you for being one of these few people who took the time to either add CC or allow it to be contributed to your channel. It goes further than many would imagine, and reaches the Deaf/Hard of Hearing audience - myself included. +1 sub

Same here! I just appreciate captions because it shows that the creator cares so much about his viewers. It raises the overall experience so much! Another great example is Tom Scott, who posts similarly excellent videos and has said before that he almost felt like it should be a KZbinr's responsibility to take care of his disabled viewers, aka deaf viewers. For the same reason, my own videos have captions!

[@aiscforlandollc7369]

AWESOME and best explanation of shooting different frame-rates I've seen on YT. We recently wrapped up shooting a music video and it was mostly filmed in 60fps and dropped on a 60fps time-line and slowed (most of it). The singing parts were all 24fps... in any case, your video will prove to be instrumental for us as we gain more knowledge and continue taking on more projects..

[@TheLordofDawn]

Also to consider: power frequency. In PAL regions dc power is ~50hz while in NTSC regions it is ~60hz. This is important when filming in environments with for example neon light to avoid flicker. Sometimes it can male sense to switch base frame rates based on where you are filming.

[@ThatGuyZeb]

​@@drawkfilms x1.25 of the original speed. To get right speeds, divide the frame rates with each other to find out the multiplication needed. (so conversions in 30 to/from 24fps is x0.80 and x1.25.) Might want to fiddle with shutter times if you really want to sell it as something shot in 24fps as well. (slightly longer exposure when shooting in 30fps.. 225? degrees to get the 180 degree in 24fps, if my rusty math is correct..)

[@QuicksilverSG]

Frame rate can have a noticeable effect on the perceived smoothness of slow camera panning shots. The slower the frame rate, the choppier the pan will look, and there's a hidden pitfall those who shoot in 24 fps often encounter. Most monitors and TV's refresh their image at 60 Hz. Since 24 fps does not divide evenly into 60, that 24 fps footage produces an uneven refresh rate when displayed at 60 Hz, which can make slow pans look ragged. To produce the smoothest pans for display on 60 Hz monitors, the best camera frame rates are 60 fps and 30 fps.

[@26alexxkidd]

Most monitors have some kind of motion smoothing feature, so that's not really an issue

[@wolfeadventures]

Is it ever possible to get smooth pans with 24fps?

[@QuicksilverSG]

@@wolfeadventures - Sure, just pan slower ;)

[@NikiWinProd]

yeah exactly, that's what i was thinking. i also don't get why european cameras default to the pal standart. so you have the choice of shooting in 25 or 50 fps. but screens are at 60hz. you can change it to ntsc, but then you have to re-format your sd-card which is weird 🤔

[@danielbeaton6146]

Man, I spent too many hours thinking about what framerate to shoot in and in the end switched to 30fps. For most youtube videos, I actually prefer the 30fps look over 24fps. I think the future is gonna be higher framerates (than 24).

[@danieldesmond3422]

naaa people still like that cinematic 24 look. Plus the rest of the world shoots 25 so if anything it will go to 25 or 50 for slowmo. I'm in film school and the 24/25 look is nailed into you. trust me it's not going anywhere.

[@apopsisdj]

Ok, all this frame rate discussion makes sense for US and NTSC places where the 'consumer' 30fps and the 'cinematic' 24 fps have a good 6 frames difference. But what about PAL places? Is 25fps (one frame difference) NOT cinematic enough ? Do we still need to convert 25/50 fps footage to 24 (risking artifacts), for a more cinematic look, or is 25fps near as good and we can keep things simple. I'd like to hear your opinions here.

[@Weareamberuk]

Same here! What frame rate should pal use instead of 30fps

[@ClaudePN]

The 24 fps exist for cinema movies because they were done on film and it cost less to have the minimum number of frames. And the 24 fps was the minimum to have a smooth vision of moving pictures. No need to shoot at 24 fps in Pal countries on digital camera. You won't see a difference between the two.

[@chicagospots]

I make TV spots, so I shoot in 30P since the NTSC TV broadcast standard is 30fps (or 60 fields). Shooting at 24fps introduces “pulldown” which doubles a field every other frame to stretch it into the 60 field base. This winds up looking choppy, and never looks as smooth as 30fps which has a frame to frame relationship with the TV standard.

[@jamesslick4790]

The NTSC frame rate reduction was to leave "room" in the video signal for the colorburst signal while retaining compatibility with the older Black and White US Television standard that was REALLY 30 FPS (So as not to instantly render millions of then still fairly new TV sets obsolete.) The old sets could display the new color programming (but in black and white). This is a gross simplification, but thats why the odd decimal part exists.

[@user-le8ul4nr5t]

And old TV's is also where 30fps came from, the american elecric grid runs at 60Hz, so it was way simpler to time the frames of the video on that. as for why it's 30 and not 60, it's due to a bandwidth limitation, so broadcasting companies used a trick called "interlaced video" to give the illusion of higher resolution and framerate. Basically, they sent to the tv a single 240p image every 60th of a second, but the images were really half of a single 480p image, do it fast enough and you've got the illusion of a 480p image at 60fps. You can also use this trick to get higher resolution on old CRT monitors, set it to interlaced video and suddenly your framerate is doubbled, for instance, a CRT that might do 1920x1440p@45Hz is now 1920x1440i@90Hz with next to no extra bandwidth required.

[@jamesslick4790]

@@user-le8ul4nr5t Yes, the 30 fps was based on the 60hz power frequency. This is also why for example, old school UK TV used 25fps. Their AC power is at 50hz.

[@notsorandumusername]

NTSC was never 30fps, it was 60Hz like the power grid but it ran interlaced instead of progressive. That's how they solved the bandwith issue. Likewise, PAL and SECAM ran 50Hz, not 25fps and also interlaced. PAL and SECAM compensated for the lower rate with offering a higher resolution instead. PAL offered a better overall picture quality thanks to better colors and a sharper picture, however an American used to the 60Hz of NTSC might notice the 50Hz of PAL flickering a bit. Most Europeans never noticed this as they were completely used to this.

[@johnlentokone7318]

@@notsorandumusername And that's why all cameras was running 50 or 60 Hz and is still the defactor standard. You can film everything at 60 fps but 30 fps is not suitable for example in sports like ice hockey. The pipe line showed in the video was not complete. In the exampole video is shot at 24 fps, edited in 24 fps and published at 24 fps but after that it's played at 60 fps. This won't play smoothly. 30 fps will play smoothly.

[@videoedit69]

Okay Leadfoot... Here's the skinny between PAL and NTSC. When the IRE or Institute of Radio Engineers was figuring out how to broadcast signals from their transmitter to your television receiver, they needed a common sync signal so that when they started with the zero frame of a 29.76 string of frames to make one second. Your television which is in no way connected to their transmitter, would start at the zero frame of a 29.976 string of frames to make one second. The most common stable sync shared by everybody in the country, was 60 Cycle power coming out of the wall that ran your lights and your refrigerator and your air conditioner. Without going into a major lesson on television electronics engineering, this means when their transmitter started sending the first line of 525 lines of resolution, your television at home wood receive the signal and start at the first line of 525 lines of horizontal resolution that way when they broadcast a cut or a dissolve it didn't roll it slip and freak your TV out that might not be the best explanation but that's pretty damn close. By using that source have electricity as a common sync signal they could make sure that what they broadcast was being received by your television in a synchronous matter. Ahaaaa, but now what about 25 frames a second that is used in PAL. Well, in countries that use the PAL transmission standard, 1 the common source of electrical current is 50 cycle power in 25 frame. So 60 Cycle power gives you two passes of interleaved frames / 525 lines a resolution equalling 30 full frames in a second. 50 cycle power gives you two passes of 25 frames of interleaved lines of resolution in 625 lines of horizontal resolution. Walla and there you go. Now for the sake of good useless trivia, and possible extra credit on a television engineering midterm exam oh, why was The Institute of Radio Engineers figuring out all of this stuff for television. The answer is simple. There were no television Engineers to figure all this out because at that point, there was no television.

[@videoedit69]

And for extra extra credit oh, it's still actually matters to some degree because all countries are still synchronized using 50 cycle power coming out of the wall just as ntsc countries are synchronized using 60 Cycle power coming out of the wall. It's possible that the Digital television signals don't care about that... as I was learning all of this team school when you were probably not even thought of by your parents who were probably in high school. I hope that little bit of history and useless trivia helps

[@phillipiskra7521]

@Yang Du I can't find your comment but ill paraphrase what you said. "not to film anything at 24 because computer screens have a refresh rate of 60hz." while a lot of monitors have a 60hz refresh rate that doesn't mean not to film at 24fps. TV shows are filmed at 30FPS and that's before the drop frame and TVs have just as high refresh rates too. Vimeo is comprised of many short films and videos from content creators that are shot at 24FPS- that is a service on the web, meant to be watched on a computer screen. It highly just depends on what you are shooting and what style you are going for. Bruno Mars has a video "finesse (remix)" that shows a high frame rate on a high frame rate timelime.

Kudos for the video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Riddleagan handling camera Remedy (do a search on google)? It is a good exclusive product for making sales videos super fast and make money minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cooworker at last got great success with it.

[@bodywise007]

Excellent video. Lucid and enlightening. Especially with respect to the historical derivation of current frame rate standards. Of most interest is shooting at 60 frames/sec which allows for better slow mo.

[@SusanneGeert]

GREAT VIDEO 🙌🏼 Any tips on ideal settings for a 2-3 minutes branding video of a ceramist doing her thing. Slowmotion in some kind really showing the hands working is ideal.

[@THEMATT222]

I film whatever frame rate I want! I don't get the cinematic feel of 24 fps and the smooth 60fps! Only difference I notice is the slowmotion capability of the 60fps!

[@alexwr]

For KZbin film at 30fps. Most people have 60hz monitors, and 24 isn't simply divisible by 60.

[@uncrunch398]

In any format that encodes using b, b-pyramid, and p frames, the added space required for a higher frame rate is very tiny. The higher the frame rate the smaller the difference between them. When there's little motion, a lot of frames will be identical so there's the option to 'decimate' or make a marker to copy on play back rather than encode the same multiple times. Except when minimally compressed by the camera. What it costs a lot more of to record almost no matter what is energy which is important to consider if you're running on battery.

Excellent video with crystal clear explanations on the frame rates. 13 minutes and you answered my questions! Thank you!

[@fonsecamikester]

Thanks for a great video. I had a question around mixing frame rates. I do cooking videos and there are times that I want to slow down certain clips when I edit the video. Since i'm not always sure which clips I want to slow down at the time of shooting, I tried shooting all my clips at 60fps. When I bring the clips shot at 60fps into a 30 fps timeline, I notice a bit of choppiness when I play it back at regular speed, even though the math would ideally add up. What would you suggest to be the best option to have slow motion in my videos so that they don't appear choppy. Still a bit confused.

[@SusanneGeert]

I would have loved to read the reply to this question.... Can anybody help?

[@KhinJhou]

Sir if u want the best option for slow motion use 120 fps or higher fps, because if u video 1080p 30ps...imagine in 1 second u only have 30 chop frames so in slow motion it's limited, but if u do 1080p 120 fps then u can have 120 chop frames in a second so that is very detailed and less choppiness on the video. I hope it helps u my opinion.

[@GarciasOnWheels]

Hey so i had a framerate question that i never have been able to solve. I want the option to slow down the footage but I may not necessarily. Is there a down side to shooting 60fps and the editing in 24? I'm tring to think if i would be losing that cinematic feel since the shutter speed would be faster and have less motion blur or am I off base here?

[@nowkirkwon]

You will loose the cinematic feel because of the different shutter speed.

[@worm6820]

there are great motion blur effects you can add while editing, some are better than others though.

[@mrjazzycharon2]

Why does he edit a video about frame rates with 24 fps and then says, he can’t show the other frame rates because of that? Wouldn’t it made more sense to edit it with 60 fps matching most display devices out there to be able to demonstrate the look of the various frame rates? And with 60 fps you usually don’t need more light as the shutter speeds will be similar.

[@untitledfolders1471]

The video explains that the FPS has to stay congruent in the process of record, to edit, to youtube no matter which FPS he would have choose. So he can't show any other FPS because it would break the chain of what he's explaining, he would have to upload 3 separate videos of 24, 30 and 60. Also the shutter speed would be 1/125 at 60fps so you would need more light, the higher the shutter speed the less light is exposed in frame. Typically the rule of thumb is that you double your frame rates to FPS (e.i. 24 FPS = 1/50 30 FPS = 1/60 and 60 FPS 1/125. These shutter speed ratios aren't always even 1:2 but they are fitting to their perspective stop on your shutter.

[@mrjazzycharon2]

​@@untitledfolders1471 He could have edited the video with 60fps and then also put 24 and 30fps footage onto the timeline which would then implicitly lead to frame-duplication. This would look exactly the same as watching a 24 or 30fps video, when the display refreshes with 60Hz as most displays do, hence perfectly fine for demonstration purposes. The rule of thumb is not to pick the exposure time as twice the frame rate, but to not expose longer than about 1/50 to 1/60s to avoid an unnaturally great amount of motion blur. At 60fps you usually would expose with 1/60s, not with 1/120s.

[@rawknrolloutlaw]

Wow, such great info here, thank you for sharing. I am super low budget and just beginning with my first DSLR, a cannon T7. I know as far as frame rates I will probably be limited by my camera but as I learn I know where to go to find the information I need. I have been watching a lot of how to videos but this video taught me more about frame rates and slow motion than all the others I have watched put together. Thank you again, you did an awesome job with this video.

Sequence FPS divided by Video FPS * 100 = best %speed slow motion Example: Video shot on 120 fps / Sequence FPS on 24 = Smoothest at 20% speed Video shot on 60 fps / Sequence FPS on 24 = Smoothest at 40% speed Video shot on 30 fps / Sequence FPS on 24 = Smoothest at 80% speed Video shot on 24 fps / Sequence FPS on 24 = Smoothest at 100% speed
