look in the animation directory of your POV installation on your computer.
There a number of .ini files which produce animations.  Make your POV
project similar to that and you should be in good shape.

For animations You should set final frame statement. If You use ini
file, then add:
Final_Frame=30
by substituting 30 with number of frames.
If You set clock variable, then You have to modify it by itself for each
frame (external animation), by
using Final_Frame, pov-ray enters into internal animation, changing
clock by itself (by default from 0-1) for each frame.
RTFM 6.2.1.
