    Getting a good result

    When changing the rate helps

    An editing project works at one frame rate, and a clip at another can stutter or drift out of sync with its sound. Phones and screen recorders also save a variable rate that wanders around the target, which some editors handle badly. Converting gives a constant rate that matches the project.

    What conversion does

    Going down, for example 60 to 30, drops every other frame. Going up, for example 24 to 30, repeats frames. No new in-between pictures are invented, so a higher rate does not make motion smoother. The video's length and speed stay the same.

    Which rate

    24 is cinema. 25 and 50 are the television rates in Europe, India and most of Asia. 30 and 60, and their broadcast versions 29.97 and 59.94, are used in North America and Japan and by most phones. For social platforms, keep the rate you shot at.

    00:40Questions

    Video frame rate converter: common questions

    Will 60 fps make my 30 fps video smoother?

    No. Each frame is shown twice. Smooth motion has to be recorded at the higher rate.

    Does the video get shorter or longer?

    No. Only the number of frames in each second changes.

    What is 29.97 fps?

    The broadcast version of 30, a legacy of color television in North America. Use it when a broadcaster or an editing project asks for it.

    How do I see my video's current frame rate?

    The metadata viewer shows it, and whether it is constant or variable.
