I started with some begginers animates, but all of them are so short (few secunds)

How many frames are enough for animation of 30-45 seconds? Actually is there some limit
with the number of the frames?

10 frames...how much it is seconds?! (or these variables can not be converted?!)

Can I go to 300-400 (or even more frames)?

Before you decide how many frames you need, you must decide on the frame rate and then the lenght of your animation. A frame rate of 15 FPS is good for viewing on a computer but you can go as low as about 10 FPS if you are worried about file size before the quality deteriorated too much.

The total number of frames is calculated as Frame Rate multiplied by the number of seconds. In VIZ and MAX you must make these settings in Time Configuration.
