When creating presentation movies, software packages vary, but generally most follow the traditional animation building concepts of:

Layers - these build the movie as a series of graphics, one on top of the other, in transparent layers

Keyframes - are the parts of an animation where something important happens, for example, a character waving or winking

Tweening - is where the software creates frames automatically between the keyframes, saving time

There are many other steps in creating animation, depending not only on the format, but also the software and hardware available.

A movie frame is one picture in a series of pictures that when played together give the impression of motion or animation.

Frame-by-frame animating is done by creating a new image for each frame of a finished animation.

Each picture looks slightly different from the last, and when put into a movie format, they combine to give an illusion of movement.

Frame rate is the number of pictures needed per second to make this movement smooth and realistic.

Most software has a frame rate of 8 to 12, whereas cinematic movies use 24.
