Framerateja

Framerateja is a Finnish plural noun used for discussing frame rates in video, animation, and related media. It refers to the different rates at which individual images, or frames, are shown per second.

Frame rate, measured in frames per second (fps), describes how smoothly motion is displayed. A higher framerateja generally yields smoother motion but requires more processing power, bandwidth, and storage. Traditional cinema is associated with 24 fps, while television and online video commonly use 30 or 60 fps. High-performance displays and games often run at 120, 144, or even 240 fps to reduce motion blur and input latency, though achieving such rates depends on both content and hardware capabilities.

The choice of framerateja affects both production and playback. In filmmaking, shutter speed and lighting interact with the chosen frame rate to influence motion appearance. In gaming and real-time media, users may select framerates to balance visual quality with system performance. Technology such as variable refresh rate (VRR) and adaptive sync helps align the display’s refresh rate with the actual frame output, minimizing tearing and stuttering. Some viewers encounter motion artifacts when interframe interpolation or motion smoothing is applied by televisions, which can alter the perceived framerateja of the content.

Etymology and usage notes: framerateja reflects Finnish pluralization of the borrowed term framerate, with the suffix -ja forming the plural. In Finnish discourse, framerateja appears when listing or comparing multiple frame rates or ranges of rates.
