Modify bitmap compression

When you import an image, you can check and modify settings that compress the image. While compressing images reduces the file size of your movie, compression can affect image quality; the goal is to strike a balance between compression settings and image quality.

1 | If the Library panel isn't open, choose Window > Library. Enlarge the window, if necessary, to see the three files you imported.
2 | Double-click the view1.png file.
| JPEG compression is the default selection.
3 | In the Compression pop-up menu, select Lossless (PNG/GIF) for higher image quality.
4 | To test how the image appears with the new setting, click Test. If necessary, drag the car into view in the preview window. When you finish previewing the image, click OK.
5 | Return to the Library panel. Double-click view2.png and repeat step 3, then click OK.
6 | In the Library panel, double-click view3.png and specify Lossless (PNG/GIF), then click OK.
