Background Pony #9A37
There are three main frame tags, which are used inconsistently and often interchangeably:I see at least these distinct use cases, there may be more:
Yep, they’re a mess, and I don’t know what to do in terms of making clear, unambiguous tag names for those situations .
I don’t think those need any kind of tag along the lines of “frame”.

(the last one might also mean the letterbox/black bars?)
- Still frame drawn for concept art or animatic. Examples:

letterboxing definitely applies to these. Like above, I doubt an animatic frame need any kind of tag to identify it as “part of an animatic but it’s not animated this is just one of them.”
frame by frame, of course.
- Door frame or window frame. Examples:

As you said.
Ugh, this also made me aware that panel and comic panel are messes, too. Like, obviously every comic will have panels, so it should be clear that comic panel is for an individual panel, not for whole comic pages merely because they are comprised of panels…

The person who added it also tagged “stand” so they probably weren’t sure what to call the supporting structure. Like, a support frame. I guess.
>>2085350 (either still frame from video or the implied “frame” in the air he’s peeking from)
Surely the latter.
