Frame Rate (FPS)
The number of individual frames shown per second of video, measured in frames per second.
Frame rate, measured in frames per second (FPS), is how many still images are displayed each second to create the illusion of motion. Common rates include 24 fps (a cinematic look), 30 fps (standard web and broadcast), and 60 fps (ultra-smooth motion, popular for screen recordings and gaming).
Higher frame rates produce smoother movement but mean more frames to render and larger files. In GenMotion, a project's frame rate defines the clock that every animation is measured against — durations are counted in frames, so the same scene at 30 fps and 60 fps occupies the same amount of time but a different number of frames.

24fps gives a cinematic look, 30fps is standard for web and broadcast, and 60fps produces ultra-smooth motion that suits screen recordings and gaming. Pick based on the feel you want and where it will play.
Not necessarily — it means smoother motion, but also more frames to render and larger files. Resolution and bitrate matter just as much to perceived quality.
