60 fps Editing and Export Guide
When should 60 fps be preserved, and when does converting it add file size without helping the story?
Concrete example
Example: a 45-second skateboard line recorded at 60 fps with one slow-motion replay and a spoken introduction.
Reproducible workflow
Inspect source frame rates, keep the action clips at their recorded cadence, decide the replay speed deliberately and test motion and audio sync in a short exported range.
Known limitation
Changing a 30 fps source to a 60 fps export does not create genuine captured motion detail.
