eelfilmitud

eelfilmitud is an Estonian term that translates to "pre-filmed" in English. It is commonly used in the context of television broadcasting and video production to describe content that has been recorded in advance of its scheduled broadcast or release. This contrasts with live programming, which is transmitted in real-time.

The practice of pre-filming allows for greater control over production quality, editing, and the inclusion of commercial breaks. It also offers flexibility in scheduling and can mitigate potential issues associated with live broadcasts, such as technical difficulties or unexpected events. Many television shows, including dramas, comedies, and talk shows, are eelfilmitud. In some cases, even news programs or sporting events may have segments that are pre-recorded for inclusion in a live broadcast. The term emphasizes the temporal separation between the act of recording and the act of presentation.
