Are 'peak frame rate' and 'variable frame rate' the same thing?

Question

I can find the term 'peak frame rate' in some video editing software.

Are 'peak frame rate' and 'variable frame rate' the same thing?

Answer 1

There are 'constant frame rate' and 'variable frame rate' both having obvious meanings: https://www.bandicam.com/support/tips/vfr-cfr/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_frame_rate

When you use VFR then you can select which are the minim, averaged and maximum frame rates. And that maximum is the same as "peak" frame rate.
