About Frame Rates

The Frame Rate is the number of frames per second in a film or on a video tape. Just as there is always sixty seconds to a minute, there is always a certain number of frames to each second. However, the frame rate used varies with the type of media (film or video), which country the video tape has been produced in, and other circumstances.

When synchronizing Cubase VST to time code, you must make sure that the Frame Rate setting in Cubase VST matches the actual frame rate of the time code.

In Cubase VST there are six frame rates to choose from:

24 fps The traditional frame rate of 35mm film.
25 fps The frame rate used for all video and audio in Europe (EBU).

30 fps Straight 30 frames per second. This is often used in the United States for audio only work.

30 dfps Very rarely used.
29.97 fps Straight 29.97 frames per second.

29.97 dfps “Drop frame” code running at 29.97 frames per second, most often used in the United States for work with color video.
