The frame rate in video editing refers to the number of still images, or frames, displayed per second to create the illusion of motion.
A higher frame rate results in smoother and more realistic motion, while a lower frame rate can create a choppy or jerky appearance.
The standard frame rate for most movies and television shows is 24 frames per second (fps).
However, other frame rates are commonly used, including:
- 30 fps: Used for television broadcasting in some regions.
- 60 fps: Often used for gaming and high-speed action sequences.
- 120 fps or higher: Used for slow-motion footage and high-quality video capture.
The frame rate you choose for your video depends on the type of content you are creating and the desired aesthetic.
For example, a video featuring fast-paced action might benefit from a higher frame rate, while a video with a more cinematic feel might be better suited for a lower frame rate.
