Frame Rate

Frame rate

In plain words

The number of still pictures (frames) shown per second. 24 fps gives film-like motion, and 30 or 60 fps gives smoother motion.

When to use it

Every export. Match all clips to one rate before joining them.

In AI video, like this

Seedance 2.5 output is 24 fps, so leave editing and export at 24 fps (fps=24). If 30 fps clips from other tools are mixed in, convert them with fps=24 before joining. Avoid interpolation that raises 24 → 60, since it can make AI clip distortions worse. YouTube recommends encoding and uploading at the frame rate it was shot (generated) at.

One-click prompt

Keep one frame rate for the whole project and convert odd clips to match before joining them, for example 24 fps: ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vf fps=24 -c:a copy out.mp4. Avoid interpolating 24 up to 60, which warps AI clips.
