Problem
Save can support multiple writers, but the only one that's documented is MovieWriter

Suggested improvement
Update the documentation so that all the supported writers are mentioned, possibly something like
| writer |
supported file types |
dependency |
| PillowWriter |
GIF (are APNG and MPEG supported?) |
Pillow |
| etc... |
|
|
I honestly can not really make heads or tails of which writers are supported looking through the docs 'cause PillowWriter is supported but isn't a MovieWriter and MovieWriter isn't supported directly but is a baseclass of the supported writers. Unless the documentation was supposed to read AbstractMovieWriter? 😕
