Topic: Frame rate equation

Hi there!
Some of you may use Windows MovieMaker to make brickfilms; and u know, you should choose the duration of each frame in order to  reach your preferred duration. So, you should know how long each frame should be. I have an equation for you to calculate it:

((1 / FPS ) x 60 ) / 60 =Duration of each frame.

for example, in 15 FPS:

(( 1 / 15 ) x 60 ) / 60 = (60/15)/60= 0.06666666666666666666666666666667 !

So, to make a 15 FPS brickfilm in WMM, after importing pics select them all with Ctrl+A and the go to 'Edit' menu and in the 'Duration' field type 0.0667. Note that WMM will only show one number after '.' .

Hope it is helpful!

Some frequent DEF s (duration of each frame!)

60 = 0.016666666666666666
30 = 0.03333333333333333
15 = 0.06666666666666666666666666666667

Re: Frame rate equation

Before I bought the software I now use, Windows Live MovieMaker was all I had. But now Wwhn I film a big film with lots of scenes, I usually make lots of small films for each scene, because I don't film in the order of when things happen, so I still use MovieMaker to fit all of my video files as one. I also use MovieMaker for end credits and captions.

In other words: Duration of each frame (seconds) = (60/FPS)/60
                                                                         = 1/FPS

So at 15 FPS, each frame would last 1/15 of a second.
At 24 FPS, one second would have 24 frames evenly popping up.

my dad doesn't want me to brickfilm on because it's his computer, but he's not home right now at the moment.
