MP4 with sound, GIF, PNG frames and stills, and contact sheets.

Command	Writes
`render`	MP4: H.264 with AAC sound by default
`gif`	an animated GIF, 960 px wide at 15 fps by default (at most 50: browsers play shorter frames slowly), silent
`frames -o dir`	`frame-00001.png`… and `audio.wav`, for a video editor
`still --at 2.5,save.act,end`	PNGs at seconds or markers
`sheet`	a contact sheet of the key moments

All of them use the cached take, and write next to the script unless -o says where.

Useful options#

browser-clip render demo.yaml --preview                 # half size, 30 fps: quick checks
browser-clip render demo.yaml --range save.act..end     # part of the clip
browser-clip render demo.yaml --deterministic           # identical files on every run
browser-clip render demo.yaml --camera static --video.fps 30
browser-clip gif demo.yaml --width 720 --fps 12
browser-clip frames demo.yaml -o frames --transparent --scale 0.5
browser-clip still demo.yaml --at end --transparent

--<section>.<key> <value> overrides any setting for one command, for example --video.background "#101418"; --set path=value does the same.
--deterministic encodes software VP9 with a fixed quantizer and renders the sound in a fixed order, so the same script and take give the same bytes.
A transparent backdrop keeps the window's shadow as partial alpha. MP4 and WebM with alpha are out of scope: use PNG frames.
A large GIF: try --width 720, --fps 10, camera: static or a solid background.
