Default How does my very first edited video (using Shotcut freeware) look?

PDN? you mean a proprietary Paint.Net file
format? That's what I'm talking about as a storage
format. There is no such thing as a raster image
(a bitmap, as opposed to mathematically produced
vector graphics) that has layers. I can save layers
in Paint Shop Pro with the PSP format, but it's not
an image with layers. It's just memory backup of what
you've done with the image. So if you want to save
without merging layers you can do that. But that is
not an image and it's not a format that you'd use
online or give to others. It's basically the stored data
for the "workspace" state, along with undo memory.

This is a lot like the text discussion: It helps to
understand some of what goes on underneath in
order to understand how to work with the medium.
