Videokuvasta is a Finnish term that refers to the image or footage produced by video recording, i.e., a video image. In Finnish usage, videokuva denotes the video image itself, while videokuvasta often points to material derived from such a video or to what is depicted in a video clip. The expression is common in media, journalism, and legal discussions about video material.

In journalism and broadcasting, videokuvasta may be used to describe material shown to illustrate a story, or to reference the source of a scene captured by a camera. The phrase can apply to footage from various origins, including surveillance cameras, mobile devices, drones, or professional cameras. Analysts may study videokuvasta to verify events, assess details, or extract evidence.

Technical aspects influence the appearance and usefulness of videokuvasta. Digital video involves parameters such as resolution, frame rate, color depth, and compression, which affect clarity and interpretability. Common formats range from standard definitions to high-resolution 4K and beyond, with different codecs shaping file size and quality.

Legal and ethical considerations are central to handling videokuvasta. Questions of copyright, consent, privacy, and the integrity of the image arise in distribution, editing, and publication. Responsible use includes source attribution, avoiding misleading edits, and respecting rights and protections applicable to the footage.
