Eingeblendete

Eingeblendete is the feminine plural or neutral plural form of the past participle adjectives of the German verb einblenden. In everyday usage it describes content that has been made visible on a display, typically through a fade-in or overlay effect. The term is common in media production, user interface design, and digital publishing.

The verb einblenden is a separable compound formed from ein- (in, into) and blenden (to blind or to display in a way that draws attention). In the context of media, it means to reveal or introduce an element into the visual field. Therefore, eingeblendete elements are those that have been shown to the viewer, often temporarily, as part of a sequence or interaction.

Usage contexts include:

- Video and film editing: eingeblendete Grafiken, Texte oder Logos appear on screen during a sequence, often with a transition.

- Web and app design: eingeblendete Hinweise, Tooltips or overlays appear to provide information or guidance.

- Broadcasting: einblendungen introduce captions, titles, or sponsor logos.

In all cases the term emphasizes the temporal aspect of appearance rather than permanent insertion.

A related but distinct concept is eingebettet (embedded), which refers to elements physically integrated into a document, page, or system rather than appearing temporarily. Einblendungen should be designed with accessibility in mind, considering motion sensitivity and keyboard or screen-reader support where appropriate.
