- Description
- YUV video file format is a type of file used to store video data that has been encoded using the YUV color space. The YUV color model represents images by separating the luminance (Y) component from the chrominance (U and V) components. This separation allows for efficient video compression and broadcast transmission because the human eye is more sensitive to luminance details than to color differences. YUV files are often used in video processing and editing applications, as well as in professional broadcasting.
- An RGBA file is a color bitmap image format created by Silicon Graphics (SGI). It is similar to the .RGB file as it supports color RGB channels with an alpha channel.
