What is AI Compositing?
Combining multiple visual layers into a single frame using AI-assisted tools. Includes background replacement, element insertion, and layer blending.
How it works
Compositing combines multiple visual elements into a seamless final image or video. AI-assisted compositing automates many traditionally manual tasks: matching lighting between layers, generating realistic shadows, blending edges naturally, and maintaining temporal consistency in video composites. In AI video production, compositing is used to combine AI-generated elements with real footage, merge outputs from different tools, and add AI-generated effects to existing content. The combination of AI generation and AI-assisted compositing creates a powerful hybrid workflow.
