Title: RE: FLASH: A great resource!

NTSC video is 29.97 frames per second, not 30. (technically speaking)

I have no doubt you are correct Matthew as my knowledge was based an PAL rates. I think any flash animation over 20fps would be overkill. Would that be a fair assumption?

Sorry guy...

But you're wrong on the frame rate of video

I'm a 3d animator.  Video is 30 frames per second (NTSC) in the US.  25 in
Europe.

Film is 24 FPS.  (Motion pictures).

If you notice...videos look much more "live" than motion pictures.  This is
due to the fact that their frame rate is 30.  They look "jumpier" and more
"amateur" due to this fact.  Motion pictures, at 24 FPS look more dramatic
and slower moving.  Movements are "grander" in appearance due to the lower
frame rate, which is why motion pictures look "better" than video.

Anyway...just wanted to clarify the frame rate for each medium.
