| the-pi-guy said: Frame rate is an average. Every new number is 1/60 of a second. 1-2-3-4-4-5 So, we look at 1-2-3 That is 3 frames over the period 3/60ths of a second. 3/(3/60)= (3 /1)(60/3) = 60 frames per second. Now, we look at 4-4 This is 2 identical frames, or 1 apparent frame over the period of 2/60ths of a second or 1/30th of a second. 1/(2/60)= (1/1)(60/2) = 30 frames per second. |
The formula would look like this
2/60=1 second
then you want to reduce, what you do to one side of the equal sign, you have to do to the other
(2/60)/2=1 second/2 (when reducing you reduce both sides)
That would give us 1/30th of every half second will be the same. Saying 30fps doesn't account for the other frames in that second. If we were to just account for the frames that are the same, then yes, but that does not apply to the frame rate as a whole.
The appearance of 1/30th of a frame rate (that just applies to the similar frames) would appear at the very end of every second.
