What Is Video ??

[T1meW4st3d]

Good job u smart bastard! Sub for you!

[mrManning300]

@vsauce can you show us how you make your outro?

[iVvViDRACULA]

Help can you do a video on speed? like you said in this video frame rate of your eyes but what i was wondering is how fast somthing has to go before you cant see it at all?

[Xuhybrid]

1000 fps TVs don't exist. Framerates like that DO NOT cause headaches because your eye doesn't take in the additional information. In fact, 30 frames per second when gaming on a pc DOES cause headaches.

[iPlayer93]

I came here over tinyurl(com)/vsauce

[MiniMontageMaker]

HOW ARE YOU SO CLEVER???!!!

[TheLuigiManFan]

FUN FACT FROM GOOD MORNING AMERICA: All the videos on youtube would take 1700 YEARS to watch O.o

[canibal803]

This was uploaded on my birthday ^.^

[iCouldAppThat]

do a video about how we perceive light and colors and how it could very well be different for every person but we do not know because we can not describe it different because its what we've known for our whole life. Please?

[StuffofNicholas]

@iCouldAppThat i've been thinking that my whole life!!

[FlamFlim12]

WHY AM I NOT SUBBED TO THIS CHANNEL YET?

[andreirocks1992]

fail blur :)

[lolol11111hi]

AND SHOOK HIS HAND

[lolol11111hi]

AND HE MADE HIM HOLD THE CAMERA!!

[JavierKPMS]

eww

[KatsKornerTV]

WHEEZY WAITER!!!! OMFG!!!

[xXOr30Xx]

did you wash your hands?

Um...yeah -serious believable pokerface-

[dragsigma]

Video...

[UndergroundDubstep1]

am i the only one who noticed the video bomb at 2:23 ??

[iCamEntertainment]

Michael, you are one handsome young man.

[rararawr619]

lol so as i watched ONE video, 1200 days of video was uploaded to youtube

DAMN

[ScaryClownFishy]

Yea.. Most of those uploads are from SSoHpkc

[afternooncaketime]

"as high as a thousand frames per second"

Does such technology exist yet that's actually available for use outside of labs with very strong lighting?

[easyez99]

Am I the only one who thinks the music at the end sounds like the music in Lavender Town?

[ralfanater324]

Amazing!

[D190N]

i dont think he washed his hands. :( ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwww

[xTomJUK]

Future vSauce sent me.

[KatzePiano]

One of the most interesting things I learned this video? Vsauce doesn't actually need to research anything; he actually just KNOWS it off the top of his head...

[ShockerHaloGuy]

@ceaner yeah. I was like what the?! I rewound it to see him again! Lol

[CeaNer]

did you see the asian guy jumping in the back after he came out the bathroom

[xVeRSeii]

who would put a plastic horse in a glass jar

[Phycozz]

@stainman7 Did you not hear the part about 1000 fps and getting headaches?

[stainman7]

After 60fps it all looks the same to the brain...

[JamesGGum3]

at 2:23 look at the guy in the background lol

[ivant123321]

pause at 0:00; in the backround u can see the horse from "up all knight"!!!

[asheca97]

pause at 3:15 lol 

[Dakkar171]

@asheca97 I dont get it dude

[asheca97]

@Dakkar171 oh nevermind lol

[TheBeefcake1337]

Does he record his voice afterwards?

[FatEd2012]

I still dont know how much fps can our eyes see in :(

[NoShittyMusicAllowed]

@FatEd2012 He said that we don't see in FPS.

[Wafelwaffel]

So.. cameras have a better visual then our eyes? Damn.. we seriously better not give birth to AI or we're screwed since machines are better in allot of things xD

[x0xpinkipodx0x]

wait does he have a legit twin?

[crepuscularcrab]

Maybe his hand is a blur cuz he took off he glasses to look at it

[SlightlyFizzled]

@crepuscularcrab No, you try it.

[Pwnage195]

Videobomber at 2:25

[H057IL3]

Greetings from the future.

[SilentFool602]

My physics teacher said our eyes see at 28 FPS..so is that true or not? :o

[GuyPlusStuff]

no wonder i get annoyed at the tv's at the mall where the picture looks like real life, or almost fast forwarded. and those Geico, "thats amazing" commercials that give me headaches.! OMG THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cannibalbananas]

Thanks for making me smarter

[yearofthe]

anybody else tried the hand thing? lol

[BrennanR11]

haha the dude behind them after the bathroom

[kinkyrebel]

Video ... killed the radio star

[toastasteron]

What's the background music or noise?

Does it have a title or somthing?

[1marcelfilms]

YOU LIED

[Quellception]

@peggyloveoscar nope..

[straaler5]

i strongly believe every time i watch a vsauce video my iq climbs with 1 point.

[befelmi999]

@straaler5

Your knowledge has got nothing to do with your IQ...

[Epiczz115]

@befelmi999

You missed the point

[befelmi999]

@Epiczz115

Oooh really... did I *facepalm*

[WTFYOUFUCKINGBASTARD]

great music

[briceman98]

Wheezy Waiter!!

[defect530]

@quangluu96 I'm sorry you couldn't see the humor in my comment. Almost two hundred people got the joke.

[MadamLionkwueyy]

They are so the same person :P

[FancyMrPants]

You sir, just got yourself a new subscriber! ;)

[NeutralNewt]

I always wondered why HDTV footage seemed off! It seems kind of silly that they're taking the footage at high framerates and then adding motion blur later though. You'd think it would make more sense just to shoot/broadcast at the same lower framerates as before...

[jbohler33]

@NeutralNewt yeah i wonder that as well...

[ZombieOwen23]

Wheezy!

[cyberiaa]

like if you checked if he watched his hands

[YouHaveNeverHerdOfMe]

Michael found his long lost twin after many years in Chicago

[TheBreadfan]

I want to see you appear in one of Wheezy's video's. He'll act like you're another clone, and then BAM. The sound of people's minds being blown. Or should I say explosion.

[ElMaco97]

What is that spot on your back at 2:12??

[peggyloveoscar]

am I the only one who shook my hand at 3:39...?

[TigeroL42]

Finally someone who understands. I do get the diffrence of object moving and an sequence on images which create movement but the way our eyes sees those things is same. And also, the higher the framerate, the closer the video is to reality, making the video even more ''object moving in real life''-like and not just a bunch of images.

[Duii26]

I used to think Michael was wheezy.

[Zoidmatrix]

Super Square-1!

[TheHenkan]

Is it just me or does movies watched at the cinema flicker like hell? I can't watch them. :(

[crimsonlung]

Bringing a camera in the bathroom is illegal.

[MavidDillar]

didnt wash his hands...

[Atomkiller007]

@MavidDillar who does?

[mummoforce]

Goddamn, I wanna see 1000 FPS fullHD action movies.

[IamIndeedLayingAnEgg]

Hey VSauce... are you secretly Wheezy's science clone?

[FPSMartin]

epic dude at 2:23 :D

[zContagium]

@auqifx Well now that you dumbed it down for me. I guess it's simple.

[TigeroL42]

But wont the high fps video be blurred in your eyes?? I mean, i don't get headache if i play tennis.

[iWietje]

@TigeroL42 you're an idiot, now watch the video again.

[FromHalo2halo]

@TigeroL42 Your brain adds motion blur to real life objects/events happening around you, it can't do that to video though.

[TigeroL42]

@FromHalo2halo Why not? Yes, at fast enough shutterspeed tthe tennis ball in high-fps footage is not blurry, but neither is it in real life, your eyes add that motion blur because they can't track it properly, neither can they track a fast movement on a screen archieved with so high framerate that your eyes can't detect single images. Now perhaps you could give your explanation and not just say ''go watch the video, Vsauce is the truth.''

[SexyMelon]

@TigeroL42 No, you're right: there's no technical difference between high fps and life-like motion.

The way CRTs and LCDs display the frames, however, is not like real-life motion, and the resulting shutter effect - even if invisible to the eye - can still produce undesired effects for some people.

So the above video is right about headache, but wrong about what induces it.

[SexyMelon]

@SexyMelon To clarify, the "motion blur" has nothing to do with the brain, but with the amount of light that falls on the eye receptors.

Just like when, if you look at the sun or a light-bulb for a short while then look away, you can still see its after-image - because the eye receptors are still excited because of the amount of light they received - the same mechanism is in play in regards to "motion blur" in the eye and on film.

[SexyMelon]

@SexyMelon So motion blur has nothing to do with the brain, and the technical "framerate" an eye can process without adding "motion blur" mostly depends on how much light individuals cells receive from the moving object and the background.

Brain will usually be unable to keep up with fast events unless you focus and pay attention, but that is not "motion blur" that you see.

[SexyMelon]

@SexyMelon Brain is, however, responsible for breaking down the eye's image into symbols and memory images that we can understand, even on the basic level.

On average, only 10% of what you see comes from direct information from the eyes, with the rest being filled in from memory. This can lead to amusing situations of spending five minutes searching your desk for something that's right in front of you, for example.

So there.

[TheMisterWeirdo]

How high is your IQ, Damn !!

[MaxikingNimero]

2:24 Congratulations, you just made a total asshole out of yourself, for nearly 400k people.

[polzer12345]

so why does a videogame on my 120 hz monitor looks so much better than on my 60 hz monitor

[LukaszWiklendt]

4:18 How fast does the frame rate need to be so that your eyes add the motion blur back in?

[FromHalo2halo]

@LukaszWiklendt I think you need to watch the video again...

[gommiification]

guy at background

[MisterFro9]

I waved my hand in front of my face,

[muzosh]

they have the same glasses ^^

btw who is the other VSauce?! O.O

AAAAH CAN"T HANDLE IT, THE WORLD IS FALLING APART, WHAT IS FAKE WHAT ISNT?

WHY DO I LIVE?! AAAHAHH!!

[auqifx]

@muzosh you don't know?you gotta be real new here

[muzosh]

@auqifx not new :/

[auqifx]

@muzosh i mean he mentioned the guy in some of the never episodes

[Jaryth14]

Weezy! Man, he's everywhere.

[solomonear]

The ball at 30 fps was still really jumpy...

[VeryBlueberrry]

@solomonear that might of had to do with the way it was animated. perhaps at the regular 24 fps the animation was still jumpy because it wasn't animated perfectly to provide the illusion of movement. I think he was just trying to get a point across about fps and shizzle :)

[aigamerDS]

@solomonear Yeah, and YouTube doesn't support 60 fps (unless you use 2x speed on html5 video player), which kinda sucks.

[auqifx]

@solomonear offcourse it was,this video though is in 30fps too,every video on youtube is,right?

[candIejac]

@auqifx 30fps max, most are 24/25

[auqifx]

@candIejac well yeah,i thought so

[PoisonSapphire]

peepy hand :D

[thisisjustplainstupi]

Holy Shit, Super Square-1.

[Mralphabettsoup66]

>did you wash your hands

>.......yep

>pokerface.jpg

[irunfromknives]

The reason your hand wasn't blurry to the camera wasn't that it was a higher frame rate, it was a higher shutter speed.

[shanette420]

Clonedd! Or am i just mind fuckedd

[kcj1993]

Clones!

[brunoschalch]

the audio at the end was a bit out of sync

[TinRapper]

Vsauce army's aproching!!... Oh wait, this IS a Vsauce video.... My bad...

New plan: Thumb up if you came from You Live In The Past :D

[Badboyz9472]

@TinRapper That comment gave my diabetes.

[ethanca22]

@Badboyz9472 The comment cured my diabetes but then re diagnosed me with diabetes.

[TinRapper]

@Badboyz9472 Are you?

Ha ha ha

[TinRapper]

2:23 LOL at the back. You the man, I would do that too XD

[MrMustacheman69]

future vsauce sent me here :)

[LegendaryOutsider]

Soo... If we see a Video with like 1000 FPS on a TV with no blur, why doesn't the brain add the blur like it does with things we see IRL? I mean, for the brain it shouldn't be a difference since theres no "limitation" of FPS in RL either

[schmidtbag]

@LegendaryOutsider i thought the exact same thing myself. altho i think michael is a little confused because the fastest refresh rate of a tv (that i'm aware of) is 120Hz, which is nowhere near 1000FPS. having a frame rate higher than a refresh rate doesn't really accomplish much. so if you're a pc gamer and you try getting frame rates of 100+ while your monitor is operating at 60hz, you can either increase detail or stop spending so much on powerful video cards.

[xlPaRaNoiD]

@schmidtbag plasmas are 600hz, so yes, he was right.

[schmidtbag]

@xlPaRaNoiD 600hz still can't draw 1000fps, so no, he's still not right.

[xlPaRaNoiD]

@schmidtbag 600hz is still 600fps, which is over 10x what the human eye can see. so yes he's still right. and some tv's can go over 600. anything over what our eyes can see will give us a headache. 120fps will still give you a headache, it'll just take longer. derp.

[LegendaryOutsider]

@schmidtbag @xlPaRaNoiD Thanks for explaining, both of you :)

[TheMrPWNGER]

What is video? Baby don't play me... Don't play me, no more...

[omarlozoya100]

Your videos make me see things different thanks.

[Sahand119]

chuck norris can watch 48 hours of video in one minute

[defect530]

Vsauce sent me

[quangluu96]

@defect530 no shit, your on the same channel.

[nameisyousuck]

I HAVE QUESTON: Why are you remembering reading this coment when wacthing this video. Why are you not playingnout side then and not now? why arnt you walking to work on your 40 th birthday and not at home playing video games at 12? IT DOENST MAKE SENSE

[DontClickMeNow]

Wow how do people play counter strike at 1,000 frames lol

[Velumanari]

If aliens invade earth, just show them youtube

[missfluffypants123]

Wheezy!

[GrahambertusJosepha]

You sent me back and I realized how much more tan you were...

[QrazyDude]

Just curious, but what is the frame-rate of life?

[ivanxdxd2012]

@QrazyDude time is continuous, no frame rate.

[secret21bobby]

future you sent me back to watch this :D

[thedredmanable]

@secret21bobby well we ARE living in the past, so past future Michal sent us.

[FireheartAnimal]

the music, i mean

[FireheartAnimal]

at 4:55... YOU STOLE THAT FROM ALICE IS DEAD!!! ...didn't you?

[strongstartownipan]

A video about videos at VidCon? VIDCEPTION!!!

[greekkid1999]

Trolled at 2:24

[Gdrap06]

Didnt wash your hands

[SexyMelon]

All the incorrect info is exceptionally annoying.

[candIejac]

@SexyMelon Correct him then.

[hibye671]

sweaty lol

[zombieroboy]

I just realized something. The background music near the end sounds like part of Revolution 9 by the Beatles. Is it?

[yyyispy]

ǝɯosǝʍɐ

[thebigbadwolf27]

Record... Remember in your heart... Wait.. i record video games what the fuck?

[Hettdizzle]

RUBIKS CUBES!!!!!!! square 1 aswell cant forget you ;D

[LazyLonerLayla]

I feel so smart when I watch your videos xD I wish this was considered school..

[CJRvideos]

hahaahah household hacker guy kinda looks like rocco from mega 64

[adster630]

Lol did you see the guy in the background of the video?

[GloomY1HaveN]

wait why if we do the hand thing in real life we see blur but when we see it from the camera there is no blur??

[74236nine]

omg they have the same glasses!

[Neilram2001]

ok I feel I should be sending you money or something, I am learning soo much from all these amazing videos.

thanks man. much appreciated!

[dittzybonez]

is it me or does he sound like that one guy off the big bang theory -_-

[PajaTheDuDe]

Can someone tell me the name of the soundtrack at the end? Please I need it for a presentation.

[ameilsa2]

Dude I swear I actually don't see blur sometimes when I'm really high, instead I see individual frames. Please tell me one of you other potheads know what I mean...

[qazxsw21000]

@ameilsa2 yes

[Lampshrine95]

thank you!! everytime i get in a conversation about cameras and frame rate i ask "well how many fps can the eye see?" and now i got the answer!! stay awesome!!

[mr0antman]

my computerer says missing plugin how to I fix that?

[merock2786]

Best part 2:23

I just discovered vsauce yesterday (very cool stuff) and one of my
