Prefferred frame rate?

[mushroomn]

What is it and why? I'd like to kno before I start another project

24 is the norm, but I like 30.

With 30, you can double up cells of animation to simulate a 24 FPS environment while still maintaining a smooth tween speed. 30fps animation can also be directly converted to .MP4 without desynchronizing.

your actually simulating 15 FPS if you work in two's, I like 24 FPS though it's my fav.

I find 24 FPS is good because the motion is adequately smooth, and there is rarely any frame skippage. The next option upward is 30 FPS, but you occasionally run into frame skipping with that, and, with FBF, the file size can be significantly larger. If I use 30 FPS, then it's because I'm animating some parts on two's and 15 FPS is far superior to 12 FPS.

Usually, less than 24 FPS is not desirable because it will make tweens look jerky, and most movies have tweens to some extent.

24 on doubles for fbf intensive animations, 30 for tweening, fbf done on doubles or triples. thats what i use.

[Reed]

24 or 30 usually

[PubicTears]

i use 20fps and dont double and if i do double which i hardly ever do i use 30

[FatalFuryX]

I use 30 Minimum for coding so it doesnt look choppy.

30-35, but I am a coder... With code it usually kills at least 6 frame rate and web sites so you end up with 24 frames per second so i like that the best.

[Goat-Man]

i usually do mine between 18 and 24. im finiding i like 24 better. i rarely use doubles or triples either

I animate at 24 fps no doubles, but I'm learning proper choreography so later I could probably get away with doubles.

[Bonehimer]

kinda off topic but better then making another thread. what is doubles.
