After Effects (frame rate)

[kydo76]

hi... i was trying to create a movie file and i was wondering what anyone thinks is a good frame rate to use... i tried it at 30 frames per secone (default) and then i tried it at 15 fps....

even though it would seem that 30 would be a better choice... 15fps actually runs a lot smoother...

so i was wondering if there's like any kind of standard out there or rule of thumb for the frame rates? hehe.. thanx

Well, actually there are many standards in the frame rate.
Some of them are:
PAL -European video standard of 25 frames per second.
NTSC -U.S. and Japanese video standard of about 30 frames per second.
Film -Movie standard of 24 frames per second.
And your custom rate.
So, you should opt for Film standard with 24fps

Well, there are a few standards in frame rates around the globe.
They are:
PAL:European video standard of 25 frames per second.
NTSC: U.S. and Japanese video standard of about 30 frames per second.
Film: Movie standard of 24 frames per second.
Custom: Frame rate set in the FPS parameter.
So, you should opt for Film standard with 24fps.
