to combine two or more individual images onto one piece of film by photographic or digital means. Early compositing was accomplished in the camera by masking part of the scene when filming, rewinding the film and removing the matte and shooting again to expose the previously masked portion.

In the 1990s, digital compositing is commonplace, in which multiple film images are scanned into the computer, combined digitally, and output to a single piece of film.

(com-PAH-zit) (PROPORTIONAL) SAMPLE A composite sample is a collection of individual samples obtained at regular intervals, usually every one or two hours during a 24-hour time interval. Each individual sample is combined with the others in proportion to the rate of flow when the sample was collected.
