Less is often More – The Number of Frames per Second to be Recorded
A video sequence consists of a fast succession of single frames. For our eyes to perceive a fluid
movement, 15 frames must be shown per second. This holds true as well when recording video
sequences. At least 15 frames per second must be recorded to achieve a fluid end result. If you
choose more frames per second to be recorded, the data yield increases while recording. This
might mean you will have to set a smaller video format with higher frame rates. Otherwise, you
will overstep the amount of data your hard drive can handle.
Setting the Frames per Second to be Recorded
You can set the frames to be recorded per second under
Options\Video Recording Settings
.
Generally, we recommend you leave the preset frame rate of 15 frames per second, as a higher
frame rate will not necessarily lead to a more fluid end result! Additionally, we recommend you
lower the frame rate to 15 frames/second, if you start experiencing dropped frames at higher
frame rates.
