Wouldn't be surprised if this was all a white-hat psyop against the DS
We are watching a movie and have been for a while now. ;)
what is it?
It's some kind of fuckery and I have no idea why. I'm going to check other livestreams to see if they caught the same thing to rule out this one video being tampered with. If it's on all livestreams, then the fuckery happened at the source. If that's the case, the lies and deception are much bigger than we realize.
Strange, I looked at 4 sources, all of them cut off the feed at that EXACT moment
Just cheked pbs stream and it cuts off just before. Hmmmm.
yeah 5 other sources do too right at that exact moment
This is very odd. My understanding is that one source filmed this. Shouldn't all the streams reflect that and match?
That was what i heard as well.
that is the cleanest, smoothest digital artifact i have ever seen
Ok I'm normally a debunker of stupid claims like this but I have zero explaination for what is happening here. His foot goes through the floor, there is no distortion at all of the video as this happens. This isn't right. What the fuck is going on!
Good catch. Any viable explanation? Anyone?
I copied this from my original comment:
The anomaly happens within one second before the camera cuts to another angle. This tells me it's probably an artifact because most codecs such as mpeg4 use a series of keyframes, usually one per second, to refresh the compression on a regular basis. Lossy codecs will try to save space by tracking the movement of pixels or groups of pixels over time rather than encoding data for every pixel for every frame, hence you will sometimes see little artifacts like this in the frames leading up to or following a drastic image change.
not like this. it's too perfect. it effects only his foot and nothing else.
It affects the prosecutor's mouth too.
Compression algorithms are specifically designed to detect shapes and patterns, so if you have a long, unbroken texture its not uncommon for the compression to accidentally remove anomalous shapes to preserve the texture. In this case, the texture was the floor and the anomalous shape was his foot.
Come on people ! Digital artifacts happen. This is a far stretch !
Let's say its a digital artifact. Why do you suppose every single other source cuts the video at that exact moment?
It's not an artifact. That's not what it looks like at all.
Ok I'm pretty sure court tv is the original source, we need to check their website and see what the original filming shows https://www.courttv.com/
Court tv on youtube cuts off the source at about 2 minutes before the event.
I would think the source of the videos would also be directing the camera cuts too, and not more than one source having that privilage. But I could be wrong?
I'm pretty sure you are correct. I don't think the court would stream multiple feeds for the media. That is a lot of data. They probably have an in-house broadcast setup and they switch the cameras themselves. The media just piggybacks on the original feed.
There must be more than one source then?
Whoa, I saw that. I cannot un-see that. That is TRULY strange
Ummmmmmm....crazy
Someone is scared, down voted the post and every comment
Ok trying to narrow down if the source is the video being tampered with or the stream actually producing this. I checked Rekieta's stream first and it doesn't match. They keep the camera on kyle through that interaction. I'll look up some other streams. This is not a digital artifact btw. There is no distortion anywhere, his foot literally goes through the floor like you would see with fake backgrounds.
I agree, I also looked at 5 videos for it, they all cut off at the exact moment
Not green screen, but it looks like two clips were spliced together.
It does look like splicing. But why

The reason all feeds cut at the same moment was probably because the court was streaming the live feed and news networks were tapped into that for their broadcast.
Agree, it's likely just a compression issue. You can also see the prosecutor's mouth glitch out on the same frame. (~2:22:02)

I want to check the source video but their website won't work in my browser. Can someone else check it? https://www.courttv.com/
The link is to a 3-hour video. What's the time stamp of the relevant video content please?
The timestamp is a part of the link. The time was 11:20 am For the exact moment, it is: 2:22:03/3:04:25
Thank you - I saw the infamous foot moment on another clip. When I opened this link, for some reason it didn't go to the right place. :-S
No problem!
