frame rate
Footage smoothness measure
Frame rate is the frequency at which images appear in video or animation, measured in frames per second (fps).
Higher frame rates produce smoother motion: film traditionally runs at 24 fps, while video games often target 60 fps or higher.
The frame rate kept dropping during intense action scenes.
Low frame rates cause choppy, stuttering visuals.
