This tool sets the Properties for the current animation, in terms of overall frames, frame rate (or fps) in frames/sec or overall duration
Length - allows you to specify the total number of animation frames.
Duration - allows you to specify the duration of the animation when it is played back directly, in terms of overall Duration or a number of Frames/Sec.
NOTE: A 500-frame animation, playing at 25 Frames/sec will give a duration of 20 seconds.
A 500-frame animation with a duration of 40 seconds would give a frame-rate of 12 Frames/sec.
15 Frames/sec may be considered the minimum frame-rate for a smooth output to the *.avi file format.
Higher frame-rates will result in a smoother animation, at the expense of rendering time & file size.
