What Frame Rate Should You Be Filming In?

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.

Outgoing personailty, knowledgable, and great content .. What's not to like

So I’m a pro photographer and never got into video because I thought it was complicated but you just explained this so well. So many people don’t. Thank you. Will check out the course.

This was one of the most straightforward explanations of FPS I’ve found, thank you!

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..

You changed my whole understanding on all of this! I remember being like 14 years old and applying the slow motion effect to my videos Windows Movie Maker that I filmed on a potato and being confused as to why it looked so bad. I hadn't even thought about that in years but now you just made a light bulb go off in my brain that has been gathering dust for years! Thank you!

The 30 fps to 24 fps and the lip sync tidbit was awesome!

I'll be trying that our promptly.

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.

[CEODeliveryBoy]

Uhh, that was the best, most thorough explanation of frame rates and how or why you would want to exploit them. Definitely earned a subscription and I'm looking forward to your content. Thank you

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.

Omg your amazing at explaining things! I honestly have watched so many videos trying to understand filming related stuff and struggle massively to keep up/get bored. You are actually so talented at getting the info out and making it interesting! Thank you☺️

[TJuice]

Shooting at 30 FPS and slowing it down to 24fps blew my mind! 🤯 it’s so simple, yet I never thought of it!

[ImageOmega]

Dang... I “knew” this information, but the way you broke it down with the graphical representations was soooo good.

[danielbeaton]

A good example for a time you'd need to shoot exactly @ 24 frames, would be if you were shooting a subject against an LED video screen. this avoids any flicker or banding being seen.

I've been flying by the edge of my seat doing video and special fx for over ten years. I still learned quite a bit from this beginner tutorial. The NTSC portion was interesting and I appreciated your example of how you stretched the rules. Going to try the 30 frames/80% trick in a music video tonight! Thank you.

[mannyd]

I’ve just started following you about a week ago and what keeps me coming back besides the great detailed content is the way you present it in a very entertaining way. Totally Awesome👍🏼👍🏼

[DeanaandPhil]

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).

[TedTalksBass]

Best explanation of this that I’ve seen. Just got a canon m50 and was trying to figure this out for my new content. Now I’m set that on 23.9. Thanks!

[moon_hi]

This is INSANELY helpful and completely worth the watch. I genuinely learned a lot and feel like I understand how frames per second now! Great for beginners.

[DonDraperVideos]

Appreciate the explanation of slowing faster frame rates down in slower projects by reducing speed by x percent. Keep up the great teaching.
