Question

For a video with many fast cuts, which compression method is most efficient and why?

(1 point)

Spatial, as it compresses each unique frame independently.

Temporal, as it records only differences between frames.

Lossless, as it perfectly rebuilds the original video file.

Lossy, as it discards data to create a much smaller file.

Answer 1

Spatial, as it compresses each unique frame independently — with many fast cuts there’s little frame-to-frame redundancy, so temporal (inter-frame) compression is ineffective.
