For tutorials, viewers need to see text, clicks, and small movements. Rates like 30 or 60 frames help keep those details visible with less blur.
A softer film look can actually work against the goal if it hides key actions or makes text harder to read.
For story-based footage, mood often comes first. A 24 frames look with more motion blur can pull attention to emotion over mechanics.
That same blur can feel distracting in a step-by-step guide where precision matters more than mood.

Some creators use 30 frames for mixed content that has both story and instruction. Others switch rates per scene if the edit allows for clean cuts.
Test with a sample clip from your actual use case. What reads best for your audience should win over trend.
The right frame rate for a shot comes down to clarity, motion, and how much realism fits the story you want to tell on screen each time.
Moving to 60 frames gives clearer motion for fast action, but it can also feel too flat for stories that rely on a softer film look now.
Shooting high frame rates for slow-mo can stretch time, but getting usable results means planning for light, shutter speed, and playback rate.
