What Is the Best Frame Rate (FPS) for YouTube?

The individual frames which are captured in a video appear in a certain frequency in a given amount of time. This frequency is known as frame rate and has a big role to play in determining the way in which we perceive video footages. Having low frame rate can cause the videos to miss out on intricate detailing as the ultimate result becomes choppy. Higher frame rate on the other hand tends to smoother action.

FPS or 'Frames Per Second' is the most common measurement of video frame rate. FPS comes in different standards of 24fps, 25fps, 30fps, 60fps and 120fps. If the frame rate is 24fps, then it indicates that 24 individual frames are being captured by the camera and displayed as one continuous video on being played back.

Even when the frame rate is altered, the ultimate file output size remains the same. This makes it possible to produce a 1080p HD quality output whether you are shooting at 24 or 120fps. However, if you are shooting on a handheld mode, then higher frame rate can help you nail a smoother shot by slowing everything down and making camera shakes less recognizable.

Part 2. Changing Video Frame Rates

As the frame rate increases, it takes up more disk space and leads to a more fluent video. 24fps is the most commonly used frame rate which leads to decent output while providing a reasonable file size. Human eye can see a maximum of 10 to 12 images every second for being processed separately. 16fps is perceived as a movement but might seem jerky in videos. Maybe this is why both movie cameras and DSLR's offer three different frame rates of 24, 30 and 60fps. The first two are ideal for those who wish to produce television content and the last one is perfect for capturing sports and similar scenes involving rapid motion.

Even after deciding on a frame rate, users are often faced with queries such as:
