# Change Frame Rates Without Losing Smoothness

> Change any video's frame rate with AI frame interpolation. Create smooth slow motion or match delivery specs by selecting a target FPS. Free to start on Layer.

Frame rate is where good clips go to die in delivery. A generation looks great in preview, then an ad network wants a different FPS, a slow-motion treatment reveals stutter, or a platform spec rejects the file outright. Traditional conversions that duplicate or drop frames leave motion looking juddery — exactly what you don't want in a polished creative.

Convert FPS changes a video's frame rate using AI frame interpolation. Instead of copying frames, Layer synthesizes genuinely new in-between frames, so motion stays fluid whether you're smoothing a clip, creating slow motion, or hitting a delivery spec. Pick a target FPS within the model's supported range and convert.

## Key Capabilities

**AI frame interpolation**
New frames are generated, not duplicated. The model analyzes motion between existing frames and synthesizes the in-betweens, preserving smooth, natural movement at the new rate.

**Smooth slow motion**
Interpolate up to a higher frame rate and play back slower for fluid slow-motion treatments — dramatic character reveals, product beats, and gameplay highlights without the stutter.

**Match any delivery spec**
Select the exact target FPS a platform, ad network, or pipeline requires, within the model's supported range, and export a compliant file from the same clip.

**Works on generated and uploaded video**
Convert clips created in Layer or footage you bring in. It's the same one-step operation either way, inside the workspace your team already uses.

**Part of a complete video toolkit**
Convert FPS sits alongside upscaling, subtitles, extension, and generation with models like Veo 3.1, Seedance, Kling, and Wan — 149+ AI models across image, video, 3D, and audio in one place.

## How It Works

**Select your clip**
Choose a video from your workspace or upload one — an AI generation, captured gameplay, or edited footage.

**Pick a target FPS**
Set the frame rate you need within the model's supported range: higher for smoothness or slow motion, or a specific value to match a delivery spec.

**Convert and export**
Layer interpolates the new frames and returns the converted clip to your workspace, ready to review, refine further, or ship.

## Built for Game Production

**Spec-compliant UA delivery**
Ad networks and platforms are strict about frame rates. Convert every winning creative to each channel's required FPS from a single master, without touching the edit.

**Slow-motion hero moments**
Give trailers and social cuts the cinematic slow-motion beats audiences expect — a boss landing, a card flip, a jackpot burst — from footage that was never shot for it.

**Smoother gameplay capture**
Interpolate captured gameplay to a higher frame rate so store videos and social clips feel fluid, even when the source recording wasn't.

**Consistency across a campaign**
Normalize clips from different sources — generations, capture, edits — to one frame rate so a campaign's assets cut together cleanly.

Layer is the asset creation platform for 300+ game studios and entertainment brands, including Zynga, SciPlay, Huuuge Games, and Machine Zone. Start free and get every clip to the frame rate it needs.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How does Convert FPS work?

Layer uses AI frame interpolation to synthesize new in-between frames, so you can raise or change a video's frame rate. You select a target FPS within the model's supported range and Layer handles the rest.

### Can I create slow motion with it?

Yes. Interpolating extra frames lets a clip play back in smooth slow motion instead of the stutter you get from simply stretching existing frames.

### Why would I need to match a specific FPS?

Ad networks, platforms, and broadcast pipelines often require specific frame rates. Convert FPS lets you meet those delivery specs without re-generating or re-shooting the clip.

### Does this work on AI-generated video?

Yes. Clips generated in Layer with models like Veo 3.1, Seedance, Kling, and Wan can be converted in the same workspace, alongside footage you upload.

### What does it cost?

Layer uses consumption-based Creative Units with no seat fees. Plans start at $10/month for 300 CUs, 10% of unused CUs roll over, and you can start free with no credit card required.
