![]() ![]() The most dangerous phrase in the language is “we’ve always done it this (24fps) way” Grace Hopper, American computer scientist & United States Navy rear admiral Just give it a chance and try to actually enjoy the additional detail and try to think “”More smoothness = like reality = more immersive?” and not immediately: “Jeez that looks ‘unnatural’! We’ve been wrong about considering things ‘unnatural’ in the past. animated movies, 60fps Youtube content or even home-videos on my smartphone. You may not like this effect in the first few weeks, heck you might never get used to it… But after a while -for me- watching movies the traditional way actually started feeling slow/sluggish and outdated, compared to e.g. I know Bill Gates never really said: “640K ought to be enough for anybody”, but my point is: why should we stop at 24 or 30fps? Who made that the viewing standard? Our eyes can register so much more detail at higher frames per second and we’ll experience more immersion. This limitation became the standard for much recording and playing equipment so should we hold on to it because we got used to it? This was, you guessed it, just 24frames per second (or even 23.976) and 30fps for more expensive production. ![]() That’s why they filmed at the bare minimum frames per second with which the viewers experienced a video as natural and smooth-enough. ![]() I’ll keep my arguments to the point: 1) “24fps ought to be enough for anybody…”īack in the days analog film(frames) were very expensive. I actually used to be one of them.īut it seems as if the internet is unanimous and it’s considered ‘cool’ to rant on motion-smoothing. Let me be clear: I understand their argument and they can have this preference. After all, it is the way most movies are recorded and intended to be viewed, so it’s hard to argue with that. So most HIFI-experts and movie-experts swear at watching movies in the standard 24fps. Well, to be blunt: Most people experience this smoothness as if their movie just turned into a soap opera – hence the “soap opera effect” – and they don’t like it because they associate it instantly with said lowbudget 90’s saturday-afternoon tv-shows. …and what is the problem people have with motion smoothing? It is a great option if you watch a lot of sports. In stores you’ll often see examples of a bouncing tennis ball. These new frames are not 100% perfect but in general it works very well and will make your viewing experience much smoother. It’s an advanced algorythm that will estimate & generate 4 slightly different frames inbetween. So manufacturers came with ‘interpolation’ techniques. This means the image only changes every 5hz, leaving 4hz on the table. However, many TV’s can show up to 120 frames per second (120hz). Simply put: Many movies are recorded/rendered at just 24 frames per second (fps). ![]() Personally I use a 55″ LG C9 4k OLED TV, both for media consumption, as a PC monitor and for gaming. Some examples are: Auto Motion Plus, Motionflow, Motion Smoothing, Dejudder, Ultra Smooth Motion, TruMotion, Intelligent Frame Creation, Clear Motion, Pro-motion, Perfect Natural Motion, Perfect Clear Motion, Natural Motion… Saying this can trigger many people in tech, but hear me out.Įvery TV-brand has a name for what is called ‘ Frame Interpolation‘, resulting in a more fluent image, commonly known as: “ The Soap Opera Effect“. ![]()
