temporal compression

A type of compression used by some codecs that assumes frames beside each other look similar. The first frame in the series would be entirely digitized (called a key frame). In the next frame only the information that has changed is digitized. Because temporal compression makes one frame depend on another it makes editing temporally compressed video difficult.
