  • 12 FPS vs. 24 FPS “Shot on Twos”

    Posted by Max Jackson on July 10, 2011 at 3:59 am

    Considering motion blur, frame blending and other editing effects in mind…

    Is 12 FPS pretty much exactly the same thins as 24 FPS “shot on twos”?

    I’m doing an editing project that’s more like a motion graphic or animation piece and was wondering if one rate has any significant outcome over the other.

    Does anybody know?

    depends on the playback speed of the finished piece.

    24fps on twos will playback at normal speed on a 24 fps sequence, as will 12fps on a 12fps sequence.

    Bearing in mind very little plays back at a native 12fps, if you were to add the 12fps material to any other timeline, then you r playback speed will vary depending on the playback speed. So if you put 12fps material in a 24fps sequence, you’ll speed everything up to twice normal speed.

    Right, 12 fps is pretty rare. The cool thing about Adobe Premiere is that if I put 12 fps material in a 15 fps sequence or 24 fps sequence, it doesn’t stretch the speed. It interpolates it within the time frame dividing the frames. So from sequence to sequence nothing speeds up or slows down. Really nice to have when testing speed rates.
