Video
➢ Video is a collection of bit-mapped still images (called frames) that are
taken one after the other.
➢ When the file is played, these pictures are shown in quick succession to
give the impression of a moving image.
➢ The number of frames is called the frame rate and this is measured in FPS
(Frames per Second). The standard rate is 25 FPS.
