Recording Frame Rate

Use Recording Frame Rate to select the recording frame rate (also referred to as the capture frame rate).

     

The recording frame rate is the number of frames per second (FPS) that are recorded. The recording frame rate is different from the project time base, which is the rate at which the footage will be played back. Lower values than the project time base will result in under-cranking (fast motion playback) and values larger than the project time base will result in over-cranking (slow motion playback).

The minimum and maximum frame rate for each format is determined by Project Time Base and Format.

When you select a Project Time Base it will automatically set the Recording Frame Rate to match (when possible). You must select the Recording Frame Rate after the Project Time Base to select a different Recording Frame Rate.

A Recording Frame Rate highlighted in yellow will result in playback occurring at a different frame rate than the original recording, and will record varispeed audio.
