After the introduction of synch sound recording, 24 fps became the industry standard frame rate for capture and projection of motion pictures.
[6] IMAX HD has also been used in film-based theme park attractions, including Disney's Soarin' Over California.
In the case of cinema shot on film, as opposed to (whether analog or digital) video, HFR offers an additional benefit beyond temporal smoothness and motion blur.
Especially for stationary subject matter, when shot with sufficiently fast stock, the physically random repositioning of film grains in each frame at higher rates effectively oversamples the image's spatial resolution beyond the minimum fineness of individual grains when viewed.
[12] Other filmmakers who intend to use the high frame rate format include James Cameron in his Avatar sequels[13][14] and Andy Serkis in his adaptation of George Orwell's Animal Farm.
[15] In early 2022, Cameron announced that HFR conversions for his previous films, Avatar and Titanic, were in the works.
Support for native 120 fps content is a primary feature of new Ultra-high-definition television standards such as ATSC 3.0.
Some media players are capable of showing arbitrarily high framerates and almost all computers and smart devices can handle such formats as well.
