how to increase your video framerate

2025-07-26

We are going to use frame interpolation method to increase a video framerate using ffmpeg,

• With NVIDIA GPU Card

ffmpeg -hwaccel cuda -i input.mp4 -c:a copy -c:v libx264  -vf "minterpolate='mi_mode=mci:mc_mode=aobmc:vsbmc=1'" -c:v h264_nvenc -preset slow -r 60 -vb 20M  output.mp4

• Without NVIDIA Card

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:a copy -c:v libx264 -vf "minterpolate=mi_mode=mci:mc_mode=aobmc:vsbmc=1" -preset slow -r 60 -b:v 20M output.mp4

• Explanation:

  input.mp4 is your input video that you want to convert -preset the slower it is the better -r 60 is the framerate that you want to convert into output.mp4 is the output file

• Downsides:

1. It's a time consuming process but gets the job done.
2. If the video has too much motion, things became hazy.

Biggest pluspoint is it works, without using fake websites or any subscription based online tools or AI, your file without leaving your computer.
