heath_hays Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Long story short is I've borrowed my buddy's nice Sony camera here that I've made a high speed film with and now that it's finished I need to confirm it's fps. I know virtually nothing about this camera so I had to find a youtube video to walk me through setting it up to do high speed, which thankfully went off without any hitches. As far as I know I set the camera to film at 960 fps, but sometime when I was either copying the file over to my computer or importing it into my video editing program, a window popped up and said something pertaining to that if the file was NTSC it would be 960 fps and if PAL would be 1000 fps, or something close to that; and that's got me wondering. Memory is a little hazy and I probably rushed through that process too quickly. I'm in the states btw. So now I need to confirm somehow or another what my video's fps is. I was hoping I could just pull the file up in explorer the fps might show up in it's 'properties' but that wasn't the case. How can I go about confirming my video's fps please? Thanks.

Sandy Vongries Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 No expertise, but I wonder about the relationship between Frame rate and RPM. I have a disc that lets me calibrate my turntable RPM. Random thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanKlein Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Just check the Properties of the file using Windows. Right click on the file. The frames per second should be in Details.

AlanKlein Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I think NTSC is US and Pal is European. Flickr gallery: https://www.flickr.com/photos/alanklein2000/albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) If you use the free VLC player it gives complete details about the Codec used. IIRC the option is in the tools tab. Whatever, the option is in there somewhere. Edited January 19, 2023 by rodeo_joe1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) 9 hours ago, AlanKlein said: I think NTSC is US and Pal is European. Yes, it's a legacy from Broadcast TV and linked to the mains power frequencies used in those different areas. 60Hz/60 fps in the states, and 50Hz/50 fps used in the UK and Europe. The idea was to prevent a rolling beat-frequency between the mains power and the TV frame rate. It has some use today when filming/videoing under flickering mains-powered artificial light. All very well... except the flicker rate is at twice the mains frequency. So you might still get a 'hum bar' across the middle of the frame, but static and not rolling.
