Fps stands for frames per second. First, we need to understand what each word means. Frame, meaning each drawn figure of a single "take" (may it be drawn on a software, or paper), and per second means per 100 milliseconds; second is just a unit of time.
Therefore, let's for example say that a person had animated a traditional animation at 12 fps. This means, for every 12 "takes" of drawn images, it will take one second to view. 12 frames per second is the standard for most animated films. So, in this case, 24 frames per second would mean that one second will pass for every 24 "takes".

What is the perfect frame rate for animation?
Most animated films run at 24 fps. This is known to be the default fps in a given movie or animation to keep the smoothness at an acceptable level. If the frame rate is below 24 fps then the viewer may identify shaky block images in the movie. Higher the fps, better will be the smoothness.
Was the animation done by handpainting in the first Disney films?
Disney , as well as other animation studios , used what is known today as traditional hand drawn animation techniques using cels at 24 FPS (Frames Per Second) which are also known as key-frames .
How many frames does it take to create 2 seconds film?
It depends on the media you are using. For example : Standard animation is around 16 (although some professional animators use 20 frames per second) fps (fps means frames per second), in film (or shooting a movie) there are 24 frames per second. There are a few things to realize though: the less frames you use the more choppy it will look, the more you use the smoother it will look, giving it a more natural feel. To find the answer to your question you must ask yourself 1 more; Is it animation or film? From that answer you can figure it out. For 2 seconds of animation there will be around 32 to 40 fps. For film there will be 48 fps.
What is FPS Frames Per Second?
To create the impression of movement, in a computer game, movie, etc., lots of pictures are shown quickly, one after the other. Each individual picture is called a "frame" in this context. A high FPS number results in a smooth animation.
How long is a frame on flash?
It depends what your fps (frames per second) is set to. For example, if your fps is 24, each frame lasts 1/24 of a second. My fps setting is on the bottom of the timeline panel, the default seems to be 24.

How long does it take to make a 30 seconds animation?
30 seconds ------------------------- The first person to answer this doesn't know (obviously). It depends what type of animation (for example traditional animation, stop motion animation) and how fluent you want an animation to be. Also, you haven't defined what "how long it takes" means. A standard animation for a movie would take probably take approximately 360 frames. People also usually storyboard these animations first. I got 360 frames because 12 is the approximate standard form animating a movie. So 12 x 30 = 360. Each frame takes time to draw, let alone the characters. So it would depend on how long it takes to draw a character and how long you would spend on the background. But really, there are too many variables to actually state how long it takes for a thirty second animation to be made. -------------------------- Actually, for a stop motion animation, the standard fps setting is 24 fps for movies. A lot of hobby animators use 30 for a smoother animation, but convert it to 24 fps if it'll go onto a DVD. Only beginners should use 12 (if not even 15), but it should only be used to get used to the animations, and move up to 24 before making an actual video. Since it takes 24 frames to do one second: 24*30=720. So it'll take 720 frames for a quality video. I would only recommend making tests if you want to use 12 fps, not a video though. You can time yourself and see how long it takes you to animate each frame, but if you run on a very rough estimate about 5-10 seconds a frame: 720*5=3600, 3600/60=60; 720*10=7200, 7200/60=120. So if it takes you 5-10 seconds to shoot a frame, that'll be about one to two hours of animating. But again, you have to time yourself and judge how fast you animate. Take your time! This is an art of patience. If you think 7200 frames is bad, just think about the Nightmare Before Christmas! It's about 76 minutes long, at 24 fps, that equals out to about 109,440! To that number, 720 frames is pocket change, in a way of speaking. But just take your time, do the best you can, and don't get discouraged!
