Definition
帧 is a specialized classifier (measure word) used for framed or countable works of art, photographs, and individual frames in film or animation. It corresponds to 'frame' in English and is common in technical or formal contexts (photography, film editing, painting). Unlike the everyday classifier 张 for flat objects, 帧 carries a more precise, technical feel. Note that the pronunciation is zhèng (4th tone) in both mainland and Taiwan usage.
