I've recently learned a valuable lesson: the saying "every day is a school day" rings true. Moving forward, I've decided to record my videos at 25 frames per second (fps) instead of 30 fps. My primary reason for this shift is to eliminate light flicker that occurs when filming at 30 fps in older buildings, caused by inconsistencies between the frame rate, lines per frame, and colour encoding. NTSC, with its 29.97 frames per second and 525 scan lines, is the main video standard in North America and parts of Asia. In contrast, PAL, used across Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, uses 25 frames per second and 625 scan lines. I chose to record and render my YouTube videos in the NTSC (30 fps) format simply because it's the preferred standard on that platform.
I encountered a subtle stutter in my last two 4K 25fps videos, despite recording and rendering them at 25 fps. The issue stemmed from a simple oversight: I failed to adjust my editing software's project settings to 25 fps after importing the footage. Lesson learned!
