Why Convert XCF to Video?
Converting XCF (GIMP project files) to video creates a video slideshow from your GIMP artwork. Each XCF file is flattened and displayed for the set duration. This is the generic video output page — useful when you want to create video from GIMP designs without choosing a specific format upfront.
