> 24 FPS looks like garbage. Panning shots are a stuttery mess.

This depends on the TV, of course, but I prefer 24 FPS over the soap opera effect.

That's the thing I'm talking about though. I don't care that you associate better motion with bad soap operas.

I don't associate it with bad anything. I just don't like the way it looks.

I agree wildly and I'm seriously shocked that the guy above is arguing in favor of it. I can't stand the weird motion smoothing on modern TVs and would not buy any TV where it can't be turned off.

[mort96]

I'm not arguing in favour of frame interpolation at all. Footage that was shot at 24 FPS should be displayed at 24 FPS. But footage should be shot at a higher FPS.

[agentwiggles]

I could probably get behind that, I'm actually somewhat curious now if it's the higher framerate or only the algorithmic "motion smoothing" that causes the famous soap opera effect.

I get it, maybe, if the source material was filmed at that rate. Interpolation of 24 FPS content to higher rates just looks unnatural.
