liikuvaid

Liikuvaid is a term used in Finnish-language media discourse to refer to moving-image media, including video, animation, and cinemagraphs. It denotes time-based audiovisual content where motion is a primary element. It is not a single file format but a category used in education, broadcasting, and digital archiving.

The term derives from the Finnish word "liikkuva" meaning moving; it is widely used in Finland and other Nordic regions to distinguish moving-image content from still imagery. In some contexts it is used as an umbrella for both live-action video and computer-generated animation.

In practice, liikuvaid is discussed in relation to content creation, distribution, and accessibility. Producers aim for interoperable formats, captions, descriptions, and accessible design. The term is often encountered in discussions about digital libraries, museums, and e-learning platforms.

Formats commonly associated with liikuvaid include standard video and animation formats, with streaming and download options. While no single specification defines liikuvaid, it overlaps with concepts from video technology, multimedia, and interactive media. The rise of web-based streaming has expanded access to moving-image content under this umbrella.
