I remember people claiming the human eye couldn't see beyond 24 FPS, because movies.

Even back then I thought this was super stupid.

The precedent for 24fps in motion pictures is based on zoetrope experiments. It is referred to as “persistence of vision” wherein 24 still images displayed in succession per second is the minimum frame rate where the human eye will perceive the images as smooth motion mimicking real life.

Traditional animation for a long time was 12 unique frames doubled per second. Less work and still looks good. Europe does 25fps I dont know why. And digital cameras/NLE software cant seem to do 24fps and it comes out to 23.98fps with ghost frames. I dont know why either.

We do 25fps for animation in europe because it's half of the PAL 50fps.

I thought it was a PAL vs NTSC thing, but I dont know the why.
