Useful to know
Four things worth knowing.
Conversion is not enhancement.
Conversion is not enhancement. Re-encoding a poor source cannot restore missing detail, and some formats lose transparency, animation or metadata.
Check what the format dropped.
Play the exported file from beginning to end and check picture, sound, crop, timing and orientation.
Choose for what happens next.
Choose the format for what happens next: JPG for ordinary photos, PNG when transparency matters, WebP/AVIF for web delivery, and keep the source if you may edit again.
