Given a couple recent threads about advantages and disadvantages of shooting/editing at various frame rates, I put together a quick demo comparing a slow pan through the forest behind my house.
I shot 4 clips of the same slow pan angle at frame rates of 24, 30, 60 and 120fps with shutter speeds of 1/50, 1/60., 1/125 and 1/250 respectively. All clips were shot in UHD, H.256, 10-bit with my Z9 and the Z 100-400mm zoom at 100mm, f8 and auto ISO. Manually focused for the trees at the forest edge beyond a stream that cuts through my property. No color grading or additional processing was applied in Davinci Resolve Studio, only simple cut edits and titles.
The same 4 clips were inserted into 3 separate 4K timelines, of 23.976Hz, 29.97Hz and 59.94Hzand individually rendered at the timeline frame rates to H.265 Main 10 files at best quality setting and uploaded to YT.
If you have the ability to set your monitor refresh to the same refresh rates as the clips, as I do with my 32" 4K Dell display, you'll find that interesting as well when you play the clips whose rates are different. What refresh rates are most of you running on your displays for photo and video editing? If you're editing 24fps timelines, do you have your monitor refresh set for 24Hzor is it running at 30Hz or 60Hz? Curious to hear what others are doing or if they've even considered it. For normal photo and video editing, I leave mine at 30Hz
I think you'll find that as simplistic as this test is, these clips will prove enlightening. I'm inclined to get out and shoot a couple other scenarios in a similar manner, perhaps something like panning to track vehicles some distance away that would show the effect of frame rates on a static background behind the vehicle as you pan with them. Comments or ideas for a particular, repeatable scenario are welcome.
Cheers!
