This is a sneak peek at the script for our upcoming video on streaming. Look for a streamed version soon.

Hi, I'm _________________.

TALENT B:

And I'm _________________, today we will show you how to shoot video to be streamed through the Internet.

TALENT A:

Streamed video is heavily compressed. The tricks of the compression are what determine what style of shooting streams well and what doesn't stream well.

TALENT B:

One type of video compression separates the changing from the static parts of the frames in a particular clip of video.

TALENT A:

Then it recycles all the parts of the clip that are not sometimes moving, and encodes the moving parts of the images.

TALENT B:

When the compressed video is transmitted, parts of the information get lost in the Internet traffic, but the decompression software compensates for this by using its best guess as to where things should be in the frame.

TALENT A:

The official term for compression of this sort is Lossy Video Compression.
