Hi,

I have always been a big film fan and I am about to start collecting 8mm film, but have a quick question.

I understand the fps rate for silent and sound film in the UK is 18 & 24 (I think). Is the frame rate for US published film different?

If it is, do they play on a UK projector with little noticeable difference?

Sorry if this is a bit of a daft question, but you dont learn if you dont ask.

Thanks

Andy

Hello Andy.

Welcome to the Forum.
Remember that no question is daft if you do not know the answer.

Film speeds are universal.
