Visual effects: imagery created or altered beyond what the camera captured.
Visual effects (VFX) add, remove or transform elements in a shot — from simple cleanup and sky replacement to full CG. VFX aims for photoreal integration, distinct from the graphic intent of motion graphics. Most creator work uses light VFX like object removal and compositing.
Masking and compositing are the skills that let you work on one part of a frame without touching the rest — and they open up nearly every advanced visual technique in editing.
Chroma key looks like magic on screen, but it is really a matter of physics, light, and methodical refinement in post.
