and AVI file formats are the most commonly used formats. Virtually every computer offers some support
for these file formats.

size, but can compromise image quality. The PNG format maintains higher image quality,
creates a medium file size. The BMP format produces the highest image quality, but creates a
large file size. Use any of these options to export a single image or frame.
