frame rate
Let an agent explain frame rate and its effects, choose rates for capture, editing and playback, and diagnose frame rate problems.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain frame rate and its effects, choose rates for capture, editing and playback, and diagnose frame rate problems.
The frequency at which consecutive images are displayed or captured in video, film, animation and games, measured in frames per second, with common values such as 24 for film, 25 or 30 for television and 60 or higher for games and displays; frame rate affects motion smoothness, file size and compatibility.
What it is for: Video, film, animation and interactive graphics.
It can be explain frame rate and its perception; choose a frame rate for a project; convert between frame rates; diagnose low or inconsistent frame rates.
