Compositing video involves applying multiple video clips together to create a single clip. It can involve overlaying graphics, such as maps, onto video clips, as seen in weather forecasts. It also merges two video clips together into a new frame or overlays titles and text. An example is a BBC ident from 2006 featuring footballers kicking balls in sync to form concentric circles, which was created through compositing video techniques in software like Adobe After Effects.
Computer Arts Article Pg8
Digital Domain software was used to create the interactive menu for Thor and the Tupac hologram at Coachella due to its incredible CGI quality and best use of HD, but it is not available for public use. RenderMan software was used for Disney/Pixar films like Finding Nemo and has very good quality for 3D shapes while being available for public use, but it is quite difficult to run and expensive. Digital Domain is preferred for its realism, but cannot be used publicly like RenderMan.
