When not to convert GIF to LXF
- Skip LXF for archival masters: lossy compression discards detail, so keep the GIF original.
- Flatten transparency first: LXF has no alpha channel, so composite GIF over a background color.
Limits
Starting point: GIF - 256-color animation with 1-bit transparency. Limited to 256 colors per frame, so gradients may band. Closed-caption tracks need separate extraction before conversion. Set the quality slider near 80-90 for LXF photos from GIF, and keep dimensions matched to the source.
