A simple "super" you'd see
100 times a night on the news. At
some stations, the would be called
a "key."

While
there are an almost unlimited number of visual effects
that can be inserted in a television program, A few
standard effects are much more common than the rest.
We'll discuss four: super, key, chroma key, and
DVE.
THE
SUPER:
Short for "superimpose," a "super"
is when viewers see one image on top of another. For
example, it is common to see an interview subject's
name appear on screen (via a super) when they talk.
THE
KEY:
While a "key" is technically different
from a super, for all intents and purposes, it's really
the same thing. "Key" and "Super" are used interchangeably
at many facilities. So, depending who you are talking
to, the effect above could be called a key or a super.
