Final answer:
Altering the frame rate changes the actual frame rate and affects playback speed, motion quality, and the display of timecodes in video clips or sequences.
Step-by-step explanation:
When you alter the frame rate of clips or sequences, it changes the actual frame rate of the clips or sequences. Altering the frame rate has several effects:
- Playback Speed: If you increase the frame rate, the video may play faster, and if you decrease it, the video may play slower
- Quality of Motion: A higher frame rate can make motion appear smoother, while a lower frame rate can lead to choppier motion.
- Timecodes Display: Changing the frame rate can also affect the way timecodes are displayed, as they usually correspond to the number of frames.
Note that changing the frame rate doesn't just affect timecodes display; it has a tangible impact on the video's motion quality and playback characteristics.
