Fade
A transition effect where the clip gradually disappears or appears. In
video, the picture would gradually change to or from a solid color; for
audio, the transition would be from full volume to complete silence or
vice-versa.
FireWire
A standard interface used for connecting digital audio/video devices
such as DV camcorders to computers. It is the trademarked name given
by Apple Computers for the IEEE-1394 standard.
Footage
A length of recorded film intended for use in a larger project.
Frame
A single image in a movie.
Frame Rate
The number of frames per second in a video. NTSC video is
commonly 29.97 frames per second (fps), but smaller video files can be
created on the computer by using lower frame rates, like 15 fps (not
suitable for VCD or DVD).
Frame Size
The size of displayed images in video or animation sequences. If an
image intended for the sequence is larger or smaller than the current
frame size, it must be resized or cropped.
HiColor
A 16-bit image data type that can contain up to 65,536 colors. The
TGA file format supports images of this type. Other file formats
require prior conversion of a HiColor image into True Color. For
displays, HiColor normally refers to 15-bit (5-5-5) display adapters
that can display up to 32,768 colors.
