What Does Frame Rate Mean?
A frame rate in video is the number of separate frames that are introduced to the viewer in a particular time frame. Frame rates are often measured in frames per second.
Techopedia Explains Frame Rate
Understanding the frame rate for a project involves understanding how the human eye and brain perceive moving images. One general rule of thumb is that while individuals can distinguish separate still pictures in a series with a frame rate under 12 frames per second. Faster rates, for example, 20 frames per second or above, appear to be moving images.
