Last updated on Oct 28, 2026

Learn how to choose the right frame rate for the style of video you’re creating in Adobe Firefly.

   Timeline is a beta feature in Adobe Firefly, now available for testing and feedback.

Try it in the app
Set the timeline frame rate in a few simple steps.

When editing a video, the frame rate (fps) refers to the number of images displayed per second. In Timeline, you can set the timeline frame rate to match your project, whether for YouTube, social media, or films. This determines the overall speed and smoothness of your final video.

Before you begin

Create a timeline and add media files to it.

Select the hamburger menu   icon at the upper-left corner of the page, then select Timeline > Properties.

The main menu is opened, and from the available options, 'Timeline' is selected followed by 'Properties'.
Launch the Timeline properties panel to change the frame rate.

Use the Frame rate dropdown menu to select a preferred frame rate. 

The Timeline properties panel is open, and the Frame rate dropdown menu is expanded, displaying multiple frame rate options to choose from.
Choose the desired frame rate to match your timeline and project style.

Tip

A higher frame rate makes motion look smoother and more lifelike, while a lower frame rate creates a softer, cinematic feel.
