frame rates

Frames per second

Frame rate is the frequency at which consecutive images appear in video, film, or animation—measured in frames per second (fps).

Higher frame rates produce smoother motion: film traditionally uses 24 fps, while video games often target 60 fps or higher.

The gameplay felt choppy because of low frame rates.

Frame rate affects both visual quality and file size.
