How Frame Rates Help Tell the Director’s Story
Recently, Senior Editor Jim Ferguson and the OutPost team wrapped up post-production for two Frontline programs that aired back-to-back, Iraq’s Assassins and Yemen’s COVID Cover-Up. The filmmakers for both programs were based in the UK, and, as a result, the footage was primarily shot in 25 frames per second progressive (25P). Additionally, other footage in these programs was shot at 23.98p, 29.97p, and 59.94i, and the difference between the various frame rates could be a jarring experience for the viewer. The final program file to PBS had to be delivered in 59.94 - interlaced. -
