well... have you actually tried a walking animation with 20 frames per direction? i think it should be smooth enough for everyone! (maybe too smooth, IMO).
Just in case. : )

Yeah, what Proskrito said :)

I can't imagine actually needing more than 20 frames!  Converting from video you'd save your self a LOT of time by just cutting out the crucial frames you need and trashing the rest.

I think 40-60 would be over kill.

At times it can seem like under 20 frames can't get a smooth animation and an example would help so here, courtesy of Dorcan is an example:

this is 16 frames and it is quite quite smooth.

if you have a 30 frame walk cycle deleting every other image and bringing it down to 15 i bet it still looks just as smooth, give it a try maybe?

And if you got animation shop, it'll do that for you just with a few clicks, and you can always click Undo...
