Speed & Conform Calculator
Shot fps vs timeline fps, get the speed percentage and slow-motion factor, or plan the fps to shoot for a look.

How to use
- Set the frame rate you shot at.
- Set the frame rate of your timeline.
- Read the playback speed percentage and the slow-motion factor.
- Or drag the plan slider to see what frame rate to shoot for a target look.
Examples
- Shooting 120 fps and conforming to a 24 fps timeline gives five times slow motion, played at 20 percent speed.
- Shooting 60 fps for a 24 fps timeline yields a gentle 2.5 times slow motion, enough to smooth movement without feeling dreamy.
- For a clean four times slow-motion look on a 25 fps timeline, the planner tells you to shoot at 100 fps.
Frequently asked questions
What does conforming mean?
Conforming reinterprets footage shot at a high frame rate so each recorded frame becomes a timeline frame. A 120 fps clip placed on a 24 fps timeline plays five times slower because the same frames now span five times the duration.
Speed percentage or slow-motion factor?
They describe the same thing two ways. Twenty percent speed and five times slower are identical. Percentage is what editing apps usually ask for, while the factor is the easier way to talk about the look.
Does conforming lose quality?
No. Conforming uses the real recorded frames, so motion stays smooth. It differs from slowing normal-speed footage in post, which has to invent or blend frames and can look soft or stuttery.
