Slow motion

Have you ever seen slow-motion videos? What do you think—do slow-motion videos need more frames or fewer?

Less

Correct! Slow-motion videos need many more frames. When recording at a high Frames per Second (FPS) rate, we can slow down the footage because we have more details that wouldn’t be visible with fewer frames.

Incorrect For slow-motion videos, more frames are necessary to ensure that movements appear smooth and detailed, even when the footage is slowed down. Using fewer frames would result in a choppy video and a poor effect.

Even though it looks like everything is happening slowly, the camera is actually capturing a very large number of frames per second—much more than usual. This is called “slow motion”.

For example, if a camera records at 500 FPS, it means it captures 500 images in a single second! When this footage is played back at a normal speed, everything appears very slow. Remember, in earlier examples, we talked about 24 or 60 FPS—the difference is truly massive!

Now take a look at how a soap bubble bursts when captured at 18,000 FPS!
