Excuse me: What's the difference between animation and video?

There is only one difference: animation is a form of expression, and video is a way of playing.

Animation is a kind of comprehensive art, and it is an artistic expression that combines painting, comics, movies, digital media, photography, music, literature and many other artistic categories.

Video refers to various technologies that capture, record, process, store, transmit and reproduce a series of still images in the form of electrical signals. When the continuous image changes more than 24 frames per second, according to the principle of visual persistence, the human eye cannot distinguish a single static picture; It looks like a smooth and continuous visual effect, and such a continuous picture is called a video.

Expand the relationship between data animation and video

Animation and video, as important media forms in multimedia technology, have deep roots.

Animation and video are often regarded as the same thing, mainly because they both belong to the category of "dynamic images". Dynamic image is a continuous and progressive static image or graphic sequence, which is displayed in sequence along the time axis, thus producing a media form of motion visual perception.

However, animation and video are actually two different concepts. Every frame of animation is generated by a person or a computer. According to the characteristics of human eyes, playing still image frames in sequence at the speed of 15 frames/sec ~20 frames/sec will produce the feeling of motion.

Every frame of video is obtained by capturing natural scenes or moving objects in real time. Video signals can be generated by continuous image signal input devices, such as video cameras and video recorders.
