Separate rate from timing
A nominal 30 fps label does not fully describe variable-frame-rate phone footage. Presentation timestamps can space frames unevenly while preserving real-time playback.
Official FFmpeg documentation notes that forcing an output rate may duplicate or drop frames. Avoid unnecessary conversion when the goal is only to repair a visible region.

Review motion cadence
Watch pans, scrolling text, hand gestures, lip movement, and repeated patterns. A duplicate frame can look like a hitch; a dropped frame can create a small jump.
Compare source and output duration and inspect audio sync near the beginning, middle, and end. Long clips can reveal drift that a short preview misses.
Keep claims within product facts
Wipe AI outputs H.264 MP4 up to 1080p and may re-encode the video. Product facts do not promise a particular frame-rate preservation mode, so measure the actual result rather than assuming.
Keep the source file and use a media-inspection tool when a production deliverable has strict timing requirements.
Document the finished edit
Keep the untouched source, decision notes, and approved export together. Record why the edit was authorized, which time ranges changed, and which source-first options were checked. The intended task for this page is: Informational: understand how frame rate and timestamps affect video inpainting review and export.
Before delivery, verify duration, aspect ratio, audio sync, and every repaired boundary in the real viewing environment. Wipe AI accepts MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, and MKV, then exports H.264 MP4 up to 1080p. It processes one video at a time; results depend on overlay size, motion, and background complexity, and output may be re-encoded.
Frequently asked questions
No. Forced conversion may duplicate or drop frames.
Frame presentation intervals can vary instead of staying perfectly constant.
Timing differences can become more visible over a longer duration.
That claim is not present in the current product facts, so verify each output.
- Does changing frame rate always improve smoothness?
- What is variable frame rate?
- Why check audio near the end?
- Does Wipe AI promise exact frame-rate preservation?
How the workflow works
Start with the original project when it is available. If reconstruction is needed, use the smallest area and shortest time range that contains the visible element.
What affects quality?
Camera movement, compression, scene cuts, detailed textures and subjects crossing the selected area all affect temporal consistency.
When should you use another method?
A clean re-export, source edit, crop, tracked patch or clean-plate composite may be more accurate depending on the shot.
AI reconstruction creates a plausible replacement from visible context. It does not recover pixels that were never visible in the source.
