You can either specify GIF, JPEG or BMP format. After specifying the file name you will go to the "Save options" dialog (depending on the file format).

Exporting in GIF format

GIF Options dialog:

Palette Options

By using these options you can specify how many distinct colors do you want in your output file. As a general rule the less colors you specify the smaller GIF file will be produced. However the number of colors must be balanced to avoid remarkable picture quality degradation.

Web Optimization

Frame Optimization check box is disabled in single frame export.

Exporting in JPEG format

JPEG Save Options dialog lets you specify JPEG optimization options that affect file size and picture quality :

Save Quality

General rule is the better quality of the picture the bigger file will be produced.

Exporting Animation to AVI
