Frame Rate Conformance

he process of reinterpreting footage shot at one frame rate to play back at another, primarily to create slow or fast motion. By placing a clip with a higher frame rate (e.g., 60fps) into a timeline with a lower frame rate (e.g., 24fps) and conforming it, the NLE plays every single captured frame, resulting in perfectly smooth, mathematically precise slow motion. This is a foundational, non-destructive method of speed manipulation that utilizes all available visual information.
