👉 Footage fumes refer to the visual distortions, glitches, and artifacts that appear on screens when recording devices, such as cameras or smartphones, are experiencing technical issues or are under heavy load. These can manifest as pixelation, screen tearing, color shifts, or even complete blackouts and static. The term encompasses a range of problems from minor annoyances to significant disruptions in video quality, often caused by factors like low storage space, overheating, software bugs, or insufficient processing power. In extreme cases, these fumes can render footage unusable, making the footage unwatchable or unusable for its intended purpose.
