Convert PSD to MP4

Understanding PSD and MP4 file formats

PSD (Photoshop Document) is a layered image file used in Adobe Photoshop. It allows users to work with the images' individual layers even after the file has been saved. This format is widely used for creating and editing raster graphics and digital images.

MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is a digital multimedia container format most commonly used to store video and audio. It can also be used to store other data such as subtitles and still images. MP4 is a popular format due to its high compression and compatibility with various devices and platforms.

Converting a PSD file to an MP4 file involves transforming a static image or series of images into a video format. This is often done to create animations or slideshows from the layers within a PSD file.
