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

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.
