Frame values are useful when trying to synchronize sound with animation.
Most animation players specify a playback frame rate at which video frames are
shown to the user. If you are using an animation that has a frame rate of 15.0
frames per second, you would set the frame rate to 15.0. When status values
are shown by Sound Forge XP they will be shown in values of frames. This
allows you to find the frame to which a given point in the sound file
corresponds.
Frame rates can be any value between 1.0 and 1,000.0 frames per second.
