Interactive video compositing

Interactive video compositing, or IVC, is an interactive media production technique that uses pre-rendered videos and images to create visual coherence, allowing interactive environments to be created without the heavy processing load incurred by real-time 3D graphics.

The most popular examples of IVC are in video games using the technique prior to the propagation of real-time 3D graphics. On the Internet, some websites (generally in Adobe Flash) make use of this technique for visual rendering with other effects.[1]

The differences with interactive video compositing, as opposed to real-time graphics, lies in the finality of the product. IVC is used with the goal of creating an enriched interactive experience from a product's constituent media in a simple manner.[2]
