About frames at 24fps and SMPTE timecode
frames at 24fps and SMPTE timecode are common time measurements.
Film cinema standard is 24 fps (established in the 1920s as the minimum for smooth motion perception). NTSC video (US, Japan) is 29.97 fps — not 30, due to a 1953 colour TV compatibility compromise. PAL video (UK, Europe) is exactly 25 fps. These differences still cause headaches in post-production when mixing footage from different sources.
