If you are rendering your scene in Cineon or DPX file format, the images are converted from linear color space back to logarithmic
space.

If the specified File Format supports an alpha channel, then activating this option ensures that the sequence's alpha channel
will be included in the rendered output.

File Header Info
The File Header Info options are most useful when you're using a file output operator to output your composite in a movie
format like AVI or Quicktime. Setting these options ensures that the correct information about the output file's pixel ratio,
frame rate, and field dominance appears in the file's header, allowing external applications to read and load the file properly.
|
Specifies the pixel ratio in the output file header. This ensures compatibility of images with devices that use rectangular
or square pixels.
The pixel ratio preset buttons automatically set the correct pixel ration for a number of common picture standards.
|
|
Specifies the frame rate, in frames per second, in the output file's header. The Frame Rate preset buttons allow you to quickly set a number of common frame rates.
|
|
Specifies the output movie or sequence's field dominance in the output file's header.
