What is video compositing?

Video compositing is the process of combining multiple visual elements from different sources into a single, cohesive video frame or sequence. This technique is commonly used in film, television, and digital media to create scenes that would be difficult or impossible to capture in real life, such as adding special effects, backgrounds, or computer-generated imagery (CGI). Compositors use specialized software to layer, blend, and manipulate footage, ensuring that all elements appear seamlessly integrated. The goal is to create a final image that looks natural and visually compelling to the audience.
