List of films with high frame rates

Last updated

This is a list of films with high frame rates . Only films with a native (without motion interpolation) shooting and projection frame rate of 48 or higher, for all or some of its scenes, are included, as are films that received an official post-conversion using technologies such as TrueCut Motion. This is at least double the 24 frames per second (fps) standard used in Hollywood. [1] Several of these films also have versions which are converted and projected at 24 fps.
