Frames Per Second

Frames per second (FPS) is the number of individual still images (frames) captured or displayed per second in a video. Common frame rates include 24fps (cinematic film look), 30fps (standard broadcast and YouTube), 60fps (smooth motion for gaming and sports), and 120fps (slow-motion capture). Higher frame rates produce smoother motion but require more storage and processing power. Choosing the right FPS for a project depends on the desired aesthetic, platform requirements, and hardware capabilities. Most YouTube creators shoot at 24fps or 30fps for standard content.
