What is frame rate?
Also called: fps, frames per second
Definition
Frame rate is the number of still pictures a video shows each second, measured in frames per second (fps).
Higher frame rates make motion smoother. Screen recordings are usually 30 or 60 fps. At 60, scrolling, cursor movement and zooms look fluid; at 30, files are smaller and still fine for mostly static screens.
In Sceed
Sceed records at up to 60 fps and exports at up to 60 fps.
