-
Made up of audio (soundtrack) and a lot of images
-
FPS / Frames Per Second
- How many pictures are there per second?
- 60 / 90 / 120 / 144 / More (varies)
- The higher the FPS / Frame rate, the more stuff animations "seem" to be
- P.S: Humans can sometimes read up to 1000FPS
- More than 1000FPS = 1000FPS because we can't even see all the frames
-
Resolution / Frame Size
- Same as picture
-
Color Depth
- The number of bits used to indicate the color of a single pixel
- Usually 10 / 12 / 24 bits
-
Compression ratio on audio
-
Compression (same with Images)
-

- Combine similar colors into one color
- Smaller file size but lower quality in return
-
- Loseless
- No dirty hack, save whatever is recorded
- Large in file size
-
- BMP (bitmap image file)
- No compression is involved
- Largest in file size
- JPG
- A lot of compression
- Smallest in file size
- PNG
- Not that much of compression
- Smaller in file size, compared to BMP
- GIF
- A bunch of photos (like animation)
- File size varies
- TIFF (Tag Image File Format)
- No compression is involved
- Usually used by scanners
- Preferred by photographers, digital artists, etc.
- RAW
