1080p 30fps or 720p 60fps

I have a T3i and for my videos i usually use 720p 60fps but I filmed a little on 1080p 24fps but never 30fps. Is there really a difference between 24fps and 30fps while filming action shots?

30p just looks a bit smoother. some people like 30 more than 24 for action sports because of that, but i pretty much always prefer 24 over 30

For shooting action sports, I always do 60p (luckily I have the ability for 1080p60 ) then you have the opportunity to slow the shot down and run a higher shutter speed. In the end, export it 24p and you avoid annoying 60p motion and replace it with beautiful film motion.

Thanks! but for some reason when i shot in 60 it looked way better than 24, like 24 was kinda blurry compared to 60. But maybe I just exported the 1080 clips wrong? Im still kinda new with DSLRs

 

[Petey11]

Ok thank you! what camera do you have?

 

[WillStart]

well blur will have more to do with your shutter speed.

24 is definitely noticeably more choppy than 60 though. i also prefer to shoot action sports in 60 instead of 24 or 30, more options

I shoot 720p 60fps. and I export at 30fps. I prefer this over the 24fps unless I am really trying to tell a story with my videos. The 30fps just looks a little bit cleaner when playing back, the 24fps can be a little too movie esque. However the human eye prefers the little bit of flicker that 24fps gives it.

Keep the camera very steady and that won't happen.
