Sell 60 FPS footage as slowmo or real speed?

Hi all!

I have some wildlife 60fps shots that really look great played back at 24/30fps. I assume that the 60fps clips are more useful for editing, but then you are showing your normal speed footage that doesn't look amazing.

Which option do you guys recommend?

I don’t do much slow motion but I’d slow it down for people to see it like that.
Buyers don’t pay attention to frame rate so if you sold it at 60fps, they would see it like that and not think to look that they could slow it down themselves.

Plus buyers are in a hurry for a video and either don’t know how to correctly slow it down or don’t want to take the time to do it.
Just like in my experience of color correction. I could sell raw footage but no one wants it.

A lot of the videos I sell are slowed down. Some a lot some a little, I show my edits on my YouTube channel, Visual Stimulant VS, at 60 fps you can drop to 50% with not stutter as long as optical flow is used. As for 60 fps video being easy to edit, try GoPro 60 fps, uuugghhh.. if I want a scene to look cinematic, I go to 92% if hyper lapse 5000 or greater, if to show some sort of action, then either film at 120fps, which I have some of that in my live streams, where I slow it down to a buttery 10%. To answer your main question, if it were me, I want that wild life as slow as I can get it without compromising the video, especially if there is some kind of activity. Your snake clip is perfect, I have snakes too and mine are about the same speed. Good luck with sales. Side note, if you film at 30fps you lose the ability to slow down much but you gain easy edits.
