High Frame Rate
High Frame Rate (HFR) refers to the technique of displaying video at a higher number of frames per second (fps) than the standard 24 fps used in most films. This results in smoother motion and can enhance the viewing experience, especially in fast-paced scenes. HFR is often used in action movies and video games to create a more immersive experience.
Common frame rates for HFR include 48 fps and 60 fps. Notable films like The Hobbit trilogy utilized HFR to provide a clearer and more detailed image. While some viewers appreciate the realism, others feel it can make films look too much like video or television.
