"Knowing your audience" is not important when creating a presentation because the only important factor is how you present your information.

false

All other factors being equal, animation created and played back at 12 frames per second will be smoother than animation created and played back at 24 frames per second.

false

Bitmap images are generally stored in a file as complex mathematical equations that can be re-sized (larger or smaller) without any loss in visual quality.

false

false

In traditional and stop-motion animation keyframes and tweens are an important concept.

false

Lossless compression is used on video in order to provide the highest possible quality when delivered over streaming services.

false

Lossless compression, as compared to lossy compression is better because you can achieve much smaller file sizes.

false

Motion graphics as an animation type are often used to tell a story.

false

Non-Linear editing involves editing 'tape-to-tape', often splicing physical tape in order to create a deliverable.

false

Presentation software is a powerful tool for animating content because it has has the same types of animation tools that animation software contains.

false

Security with regard to digital devices or systems can generally be broken up into 3 different categories People, Processes, and Technology -- all of which can be controlled.

false

Software as a Service (SaaS) tools are generally very limited in ability and do not approach the same level of user experience and functionality that desktop applications do.

false

false

The World Wide Web was developed by the US Government and then given away, which was a major factor in the explosive growth of the Web.

false

Vector images are generally stored in a file as a collection of pixels of certain colors placed in specific locations.

false

When files are compressed in a lossless fashion and are then uncompressed, the uncompressed restoration is smaller in file size than the original.

false

With all other factors being equal an MP3 file encoded at 64kbs will download slower than an MP3 file encoded at 256kbs

false

path and tween

The statement: "Animation, like all film, is an illusion of fluid movement,when in fact it is a series of static drawings moving so quickly, twenty-four frames a second, that they give the appearance of movement" is described by the term: (Please note the bold text)

persistence of vision
