'''Generated Media''' | '''Generated Media''' are any piece of footage that is ''created by a program'' (usually one's video editor of choice), rather than pre-existing footage that was imported into the program. Examples of generated media include anything from solid colors to grids to advanced 3D fractal patterns. | ||

See [[Noise]]. | Static can mean a wide variety of things, but often means black and white patterns of random pixels that change with every frame (like an analog TV with no signal.) See [[Noise]] for more. | ||
