Frame-Rate Conversion Duration Calculator

Conform footage from one frame rate to another and see the new runtime and speed change — including the classic PAL 25→24 speed-up.

New runtime (frame-for-frame) (seconds)
Speed change (%)

Playing 24 fps film at 25 fps (classic PAL speed-up) runs it 4.17% faster — a 100-minute film finishes in 96 minutes and the pitch rises a semitone unless corrected. This is frame-for-frame conform (no frame blending); for matched-duration conversion you'd retime with optical flow instead.

Rule / Formula

new runtime = original × (fromRate ÷ toRate); speed change = (toRate/fromRate − 1) × 100%
References: PAL speed-up convention; SMPTE conform practice
