It's equally possible that person modified the video. There is nothing left to trust.
It is in the original broadcast from the trial. This has been posted about several times and it all gets discussed all over again each time due to this OP and others simply linking this random video of some guy talking about the actual court video instead of linking the actual court video as did in his post:
Here is the full video from NBC Chicago stream for that part of the trial. Skip to the marked time at 19:24.
Kyle Rittenhouse trial, dude's foot vanishes [19:24]
(edit: Take note that the entire lower half of the stream image shifts upward a few pixels right at that line where the foot disappears right when it disappears. Interestingly, I do not think it is enough of a shift up to erase the foot that much, and it also doesn't explain how the other foot does not also get removed if the line shift was all the way across the video.)
It wasn't in the other feed available at PBS, which shows both the guy on the right walk all the way up the isle, and the cop standing behind the douche after he 'disappeared' in the other vid. This is a waste of time.
tagging you also as I saw you mention wanting to see the full broadcast of this stream instead of some random guy talking about that clip from it.

Agreed. I'm highly skeptical of a green-screen claim, but these two anomalies (which don't explain each other) are puzzling.
NoSo their really not puzzling.
When you use it the internet, your computers is getting the data in "packets" and assembling them to be an image.
If your internet is bad (which the judge jokingly said at least once how bad it is) the foot and pixels shifting is from packet loss from shitty connection.
So realistically
The computer was building information from packet 1-1 million
But somehow lost packets 22,000-25,000
The computer just compiles what packets you have and you get artifacting such as this dude's ghosted foot. And pixels shifting so you don't have a solid black bar going through the bottom of the image.
