    Standard FPS definitions for various medium of videos:yes::yes:
    Movies on film are almost exclusively projected at 24 fps. Television, however, does not have an internationally accepted frame rate. In Europe and many other countries, PAL and SECAM use 25 fps, whereas NTSC video in North America and Japan uses 29.97 fps. Other common frame rates are usually multiples of these.



    • Frame rate-24 fps

    • Media-Film- high definition video
    Description-This is the universally accepted film frame rate. Movie theaters worldwide almost always use this frame rate. Many high definition formats can record and play back video at this rate, though 23.98 is usually chosen instead


    • Frame rate-23.98 (23.976) fps

    • Media-Film; high definition video with NTSC compatibility; NTSC
    Description-This is 24 fps slowed down by 99.9% (1000/1001) to easily transfer film to NTSC video. Many high definition video formats (and some SD formats) can record at this speed, and it is usually preferred over true 24 fps because of NTSC compatibility.


    • Frame rate-25 fps

    • Media-PAL; high definition video
    Description-The European video standard. Film is sometimes shot at 25 fps when destined for editing or distribution on PAL video.


    • Frame rate-29.97 fps

    • Media-NTSC; high definition video
    Description-This has been the color NTSC video standard since 1953. This number is sometimes inaccurately referred to as 30 fps.


    • Frame rate-30 fps

    • Media-High definition video; early black-and-white NTSC video
    Description-Some high definition cameras can record at 30 fps, as opposed to 29.97 fps. Before color was added to NTSC video signals, the frame rate was truly 30 fps. However, this format is almost never used today.


    • Frame rate-50 fps

    • Media-PAL; high definition video
    Description-This refers to the interlaced field rate (double the frame rate) of PAL. Some 1080i high definition cameras can record at this frame rate.


    • Frame rate-59.94 fps

    • Media-High definition video with NTSC compatibility
    Description-High definition cameras can record at this frame rate, which is compatible with NTSC video. It is also the interlaced field rate of NTSC video. This number is sometimes referred to as 60 fps, but it is best to use 59.94 fps unless you really mean 60 fps.


    • Frame rate-60 fps

    • Media-High definition video
    Description-High definition equipment can often play and record at this frame rate, but 59.94 fps is much more common because of NTSC compatibility.
