What is a good frame rate for animatics?
The higher the frame rate, the smoother the video. On the other hand, lower frame rates will make the animation look like a sequence of photographs rather than a continuous film. Ideally your frame rate should be between 12–30 fps. For 2D animation you can easily get away with 12–15 fps.
