Posterized Time Effect

n in-camera or post-production technique that reduces the frame rate of a clip, causing it to play back with a jerky, stuttering motion. Unlike slow-motion, it does not add new frames but instead holds existing frames for longer durations, disrupting the illusion of fluid movement. This effect is used to create a sense of unease, mechanical movement, or to give footage a stylized, stop-motion-like quality.
