When not to convert GIF to MOV
- Skip MOV for archival masters: lossy compression discards detail, so keep the GIF original.
- Keep a master copy: repeated exports stack small losses, so archive GIF before batch MOV shares.
Limits
Starting point: GIF - 256-color animation with 1-bit transparency. Limited to 256 colors per frame, so gradients may band. Some codecs inside need transcoding before browser playback. Set the quality slider near 80-90 for MOV photos from GIF, and keep dimensions matched to the source.
