Since YouTube started supporting 60 frames per second for uploaded videos a few days ago, there's been much debate whether it makes that much of a difference. After all, 2× the fps requires 2× the space and bandwidth!
The answer is: it depends what you compare it to. 30fps progressive or 30fps interpolated. Contrary to popular belief, progressive isn't necessarily better:
The answer is: it depends what you compare it to. 30fps progressive or 30fps interpolated. Contrary to popular belief, progressive isn't necessarily better:
Looking closely, the interpolated frame contains more visual information than the progressive one: you can't tell whether the ball was moving up or down in the progressive frame, but the interpolated one gives you a motion clue of what happened between the frames!
It's not hard to tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps progressive. But 30fps interpolated conveys a similar density of visual information as 60fps progressive. This is also the reason why 24fps movies don't seem choppy. So if you want to have smooth gaming footage on YT without the expense of 60fps:
try recording with 60fps, then rendering the video as 30fps interpolated!
