How to Adjust Video Frame Rate and Quality in Windows 11

If you like recording your gameplay on Windows 11, you might want your videos to look smooth and clear. This guide will help you change the video frame rate (how many pictures per second) and video quality for your game clips.

What Are Frame Rate and Video Quality?

Frame rate means how many images (frames) show up every second in your video. A higher frame rate (like 60 frames per second) makes your video look smooth. A lower frame rate (like 30 fps) might look choppy.

Video quality is about how clear and sharp your video looks. Higher quality videos look better but take more space on your computer. Lower quality videos save space but might look blurry or pixelated.

Where Are Your Game Videos Saved?

When you capture a game moment, Windows saves it in your Videos folder. You can also change this save location if you want to save your videos somewhere else, like a different drive.
