Say you shot some footage at 24 FPS, but you want it to play back in slow motion. The first is interpreting below your footage. We'll cover some different methods down below, but there's a few things to watch out for when interpreting footage this way. You can interpret footage to speed it up and slow it down, but this is a bit of a basic method, and may not always work for you. What about a lower number like 12?īy interpreting footage, you are time remapping. You can right click and interpret footage as often as you like. You'll want 24 FPS most of the time, but play around. This number is the frame rate you would like to play back at. Similarly, shooting at 1 FPS and playing back at 24 FPS will produce a time-lapse, where everything is really sped up. Playing 120 FPS clips back at 24 FPS results in really nice slow-motion. Time remapping is simply playing back footage at a different frame rate to what it was shot in. Shutter speed also factors into this, but our beginner's guide to aperture and shutter speeds has more information. This is because there is not enough motion blur, and we almost expect things to look like the movies at 24 FPS. If you shoot your footage at 120 FPS, and play it back at 120 FPS, it won't look very good. This can be anywhere from 60 to 240 FPS for the majority of cameras, or anywhere up to 250,000+ FPS for the very specialist cameras used by YouTubers like The Slow Mo Guys. If you have a camera that can shoot in high frame rates, otherwise known as slow motion, then you may be shooting at any number of frame rates above 24 FPS. This frame rate closely mimics what our eye sees.ĭon't forget to check out these incredible time-lapse videos if you're not so sure on what they look like. Motion won't be really slow, and it won't be super-fast like a time-lapse, it'll be just right. If you set your camera to record 24 FPS, you'll be capturing a normal image. While we won't get into the how and why 24 FPS has become the gold standard of Cinema (there are a few exceptions such as The Hobbit), it is firmly cemented as the correct way to playback footage. This means that for every one second of screen time, 24 frames, or mini photos, were captured. Whenever you watch a movie, it is nearly always played back at 24 frames per second (FPS).

If you don't own Premiere Pro, or you're looking to edit videos online, you may want to look into these free online video editing tools.īefore diving in, it would be helpful to have an understanding of frame rates. This technique is very easy to perform in Adobe Premiere Pro, and in this article we're going to show you how.
Time remapping is simply the process of adjusting, or remapping the speed of a clip, thereby speeding up or slowing down your footage. Time remapping is an interesting and popular editing technique which you can use to give your videos some polish.
