How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    Source Frame Rate = 60, Target Frame Rate = 24, Source Duration = 60 = 3 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Playback Speed
    Playback Speed
    40 = 40
  3. Calculate New Duration
    New Duration
    150 = 150
  4. Calculate Speed Effect
    2.5x slow motion = 2.5x slow motion
  5. Calculate Source Total Frames
    Source Total Frames
    3600 = 3600
