What changes when you convert Y4M to PNG

  • Both formats are lossless: every pixel (and every sample) survives the trip.
  • PNG image supports transparency, but the source has none to keep — nothing is invented.
  • Y4M video animation cannot be expressed in PNG image; the first frame is converted as a still image.
  • This produces a still frame from the video — a poster grab, not a clip.
