1. What is a Video Frame Rate Calculator?

Definition: This calculator determines the frame rate (frames per second) of a video based on the total number of frames and the duration.

Purpose: It helps videographers, animators, and video editors verify or calculate the frame rate of their video content.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( \text{FPS} \) — Frames per second (fps)
• \( \text{Frames} \) — Number of frames (dimensionless)
• \( \text{Time} \) — Duration (seconds, s)

Explanation: The total number of frames is divided by the duration in seconds to get the frame rate.

3. Importance of Frame Rate Calculation

Details: Knowing the frame rate is essential for video production, editing, and playback to ensure smooth motion and compatibility with different platforms.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total number of frames and the duration in seconds. Both values must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are common frame rate standards?
A: Common standards include 24fps (cinematic), 30fps (broadcast), and 60fps (high-motion content).

Q2: How do I find the number of frames in my video?
A: Most video editing software shows this information, or you can multiply duration by frame rate if known.

Q3: Does frame rate affect video quality?
A: Higher frame rates result in smoother motion but larger file sizes. The "quality" depends on the intended use.

Q4: Can I calculate duration if I know frame rate and frames?
A: Yes, use Time = Frames / FPS. We may add this as a feature in future updates.

Q5: What's the difference between fps and Hz?
A: FPS refers to content frame rate, while Hz refers to display refresh rate. They should match for optimal playback.
