"Motion picture frames" was the clue for STILLS. A still is a print made from a motion picture frame. The frame itself is not a still.

The puzzle also included SANDP, referring to the Standard & Poor's 500, a stock market index. Other puzzles have included PANDL for profit and loss, AANDP for the A&P market chain, and AANDE for the A&E television channel. Those are not legitimate abbreviations and they should not be used in crosswords.

These are the opinions of this writer. Opposing viewpoints are welcomed. Viewpoints of those who agree with me are even more welcomed. :)
