A video frame is essentially a single still image, and a video is made by playing a sequence of these frames one after another at high speed. When you watch a video, your eyes and brain blend these rapidly displayed images into what appears to be smooth, continuous motion. Each frame captures a tiny moment in time, and by showing many frames each second, a video can portray movement and change just like your eyes would see in real life. The speed at which these frames are shown is called the frame rate, typically measured in frames per second (fps). For example, most movies use 24 frames per second, meaning 24 individual images are displayed every second to create the illusion of fluid motion. Higher frame rates, like 60 fps, are often used in video games or sports broadcasts to make the action look especially smooth and lifelike. In this way, video frames work together to build the moving pictures we watch every day, each one acting like a snapshot that, when combined in rapid sequence, brings stories and moments to life.
