This BBC News clip went viral because something very weird happens in the background
If you watch this BBC News clip once then you’ll almost certainly watch it a second (and maybe a third) time to work out what the hell’s going on.
WTF… does anyone else see the child teleport? pic.twitter.com/P0ju9J9cby

See what we mean? There was no end of theories on Twitter, some more sensible (boo!) than others.
Just a glitch in the matrix

its an edit chopped on at the end to make her look likes she happy

Yep. I’ve done similar, people disappearing in the background, or walking backwards. You get so focused on getting the main thing spot-on that you become blind to everything else, especially when you’re on a clock. Should have just masked it off.

I am confident (and afraid) we were *not* meant to see that.

Clumsy editing…….
…..what else gets edited??????
— Martin Bridgewater (@MartinSymtek130) December 13, 2018
coughs, flubbed lines, waffle etc. Looks like a morph cut to me – standard way to tighten an edit, but doesn't work well when there's a big change in the image – like going from no child to child!

Just a quick dissolve. Prob around 6 frames. I do this shit for a living.

They’re not using actresses in front of a green screen are they?
