# Playing Clips at Their Native Framerate

The Player can play a clip at its native framerate regardless of the default project framerate, or it can play all clips at the project framerate. You set the playback speed using the Native Framerate option in the Player section of the Preferences menu. When this option is enabled, the Player plays clips at their proper speed on a “best effort” basis, meaning that the result is a close approximation of the actual framerate. Use this option to preview, for example, a PAL clip in a project with an NTSC default resolution. See Player Preferences.
