Core topics
Clear terminology makes AI image and video work easier. This glossary is designed for creators, ecommerce teams, and everyday users who need practical definitions without unnecessary technical language. Use it to understand an unfamiliar setting, choose an appropriate file format, follow a workflow with greater confidence, or diagnose…
An image trimap is a single-channel guidance map that identifies definite foreground, definite background, and unknown regions, helping a matting method estimate transparency around unresolved edges.
A normal map changes how light responds across a 3D surface to simulate bumps, dents, and grooves without adding polygons. Learn how it works, how it differs from…
A depth map represents the relative spatial arrangement of a scene, helping supported AI image and video workflows distinguish nearer areas from farther ones. It can guide composition…
Constant quality video encoding targets visual quality while allowing bitrate and file size to vary with content complexity. For AI-generated video, test representative clips and inspect text, motion,…
A GOP keyframe interval controls how often a compressed video provides a major decoding access point. Shorter intervals can improve seeking and scrubbing, while longer GOPs can improve…
Compare the actual outgoing and incoming frames of an AI-generated transition to identify changes in subject position, scale, alignment, screen direction, speed, and action phase before approving the…
Evaluate an AI storyboard-to-video workflow as a complete sequence, checking story coverage, shot order, pacing, movement, visual continuity, revision controls, collaborative review, and delivery settings.
Preserve a clean source copy, reduce playback load in stages, use proxies or an intermediate codec when needed, apply noise reduction cautiously, and inspect the completed platform-encoded stream…
Run repeated AI video generations with identical inputs and explicit motion instructions, then evaluate each result against consistent criteria for camera path, pacing, framing, smoothness, and subject continuity.
Review AI object removal at normal speed, reduced speed, and frame by frame. Check tracking, mask scope, reconstructed detail, and secondary traces before approving the edit.
