Frames Per Second

[Dr_No]

Howdy, all! :)

What is considered the a safe setting for Frames Per Second for computers nowadays. I have gone up to 17 fps, but after seeing banners such as the ones used at http://www.salesforce.com/ and the smooth-as-glass animation, I am wondering if they used a higher fps.

Any thoughts on this?

I often use 48, I used to use the standard 12 when I started out, when I realised you could set it to your own wishes I sometimes used 24, but that wasn't always enough...with 48 your pretty safe 'n' smooth

Also check the poll on FPS (http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=45508) started by cmbarsotti....

But, If you are also incorporating small sound bytes in the movie...then stick to 12 fps...

I hate people like you :mad:
You make the banners that chug older machines and make web pages hardly navigable.

IMO No Flash movie should be over 30 unless for testing purposes. Flash is a CPU-intensive app that does not use the GPU so it will easily eat up your processor cycles and choke your computer.

I use 12-18 for animation; 24 for other.

I personally find that anything faster than 30 fps dogs unless you have a blazing machine (which most people don't). It depends on the motion in your movie.
