| Run length encoding is a method of encoding pixel based images in which spans of pixels with the same value (a run of pixels) are represented by a count and value pair, instead of repeated instances of the same value. Run length encoding is efficient for storing images that have a large degree of repetition. The LightWorks Image Format is run length encoded. | |||||
