animation speed

The default speed for animations is 24 frames a second. I want to slow it down. There are 2 ways I can do this, 1. slow it to 6 frames a second or 2. spread out the animation over 4 frames keeping it at 24 frames a second. Since I want to export it as an NTSC file which is the best way to do this?

Not sure what You are asking here.

You want your animation to go in slow motion?

If You are plannnig to output to NTSC You need 29.97fps, but that's a pain to animate, just stick to 30.

You need to distinguish between the fps rate of a film/video, which ist constant, and the number of drawings per second, which can vary.

It really depends on what you want to do.

If what you need is a slow motion of action in your existing animation (or any other time shift), that would be better to do in some of the editing app`s.

In reply to my previous question. I am sorry for the confusion. If I do my animation using 6 frames per second instead of the Anime Studio Pro default of 24 frames per second, will I be able to export my animation as an NTSC file?

Absolutely, the conversion is easy and any video editing software worth its salt will do it.
