- Description
- The BMS file format, standing for Playback Bitmap Sequence, is primarily associated with bitmap sequences used in multimedia applications. It is designed to store a series of images or frames that can be played back in a sequence to create an animation or a video-like effect. These bitmap sequences are often optimized for efficient playback, making them suitable for use in games, interactive media, and software that requires animated graphics with minimal performance overhead. The format allows for the storage of each frame in a compressed bitmap format to save space while maintaining the sequence's integrity and playback quality.
- A BMP file is an uncompressed raster image comprised of a rectangular grid of pixels. It contains a file header (bitmap identifier, file size, width, height, color options, and bitmap data starting point) and bitmap pixels, each with a different color.
