What each input means

Duration
Total length of the animation in seconds.
Frame Rate
Frames per second (12 = limited, 24 = film, 30 = web).

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    Duration = 30, Frame Rate = 24 = 2 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Total Frames
    Total Frames
    720 = 720
  3. Calculate Drawings
    Drawings
    720 = 720
  4. Calculate Drawings
    Drawings
    360 = 360
