Hey big world,

How do you check a video's frame rate from within iOS on your iPhone (11 pro or any really) or iPad? 🧐

Scenario: You go out with friends and take a bunch of videos of a snow ball fight. In the chaos you film some clips at 30 fps and others at 60 fps. Later when editing a fun recap clip of the weekend on your iPhone or iPad you have no idea which were shot at which frame rate!! How can you check the FPS of your videos so you know which can be in slow-motion and which not without waste time through trial and error!

A native iOS solution is preferred but 3rd party apps welcome too. The more ways we all know there better!

Cheers....!!!

ps - importing into iCloud and then long press "Info" through the files app does not reveal fps, but it does show resolution, codecs used, and encoding software (13.2.3 for example is iOS 13) amongst other usual stuff like timestamps, "kind" etc
 
I don't know of any built-in option to do that but at least I can give you a 3rd party app recommendation. It's called Metapho and even has a share sheet extension. So you can view the video in the Photos app, hit share, and then select "Metapho" and it gives you a popup like this:

I created a shortcut for you that does this, you can find it here

Also, if you need to show all the videos by a specific frame rate you can use this.
