Compositing
Compositing is a digital image processing technique that combines multiple visual elements (such as images, videos, or 3D renders) into a single, cohesive final image or scene. It is widely used in visual effects (VFX), film production, animation, and graphic design to create realistic or stylized composites by layering, blending, and adjusting elements. Key processes include keying (e.g., green screen removal), masking, color correction, and adding effects like shadows or lighting.
Developers should learn compositing when working in fields like game development, video editing, or augmented reality (AR) to integrate assets seamlessly, such as overlaying UI elements, creating dynamic backgrounds, or implementing visual effects in real-time applications. It is essential for roles involving computer graphics, post-production, or any project requiring the manipulation and merging of visual media to achieve a polished, professional result.
