Frame Rate & Slow Motion
“The number of individual frames captured per second, determining motion smoothness and slow-motion capability.”
Plain-English Overview
Frame rate is how many still images a camera records each second. Standard video runs at 24 or 30 fps; higher rates like 60 or 120 fps capture extra frames that can be slowed down for slow-motion footage.
On-Set & Post-Production Reality
Slow-motion is captured by shooting at a high frame rate (60, 120, or 240 fps) and interpreting that footage into a 24 or 30 fps timeline. The result looks fluid and cinematic for product reveals and facility overviews.
Business & Client Impact
Gives engineering demos, product close-ups, and brand films a premium, deliberate feel that holds attention during key moments.
Key Takeaways for Buyers & Marketers
- 24 or 30 fps is standard; 60 to 240 fps enables slow motion
- Slow motion reveals the detail of machinery, products, and people in motion
- Mixing frame rates requires careful post-production to avoid playback judder
