What is a video transition?Transitions are the mechanism used to change from one shot to the next in a video production. There are a vast number of transition types but basically they can be broken into three categories. First, most often used is the cut, it is the simplest and best for seamless unnoticed edits. A cut transition is created when one clip ends and the next one begins with no overlap or effect. Next we have the dissolve which is generally used to show the passage of time or cover an awkward shot change. A dissolve is when the two shots overlap for a period of time and the first shot dissolves into the second shot. At the mid-point of a dissolve both clips can be seen equally well. Dissolves are sometimes called fades. All other transitions can be grouped as effects. Effects include pushes, page peels, spirals, irises and any and all other imaginable effect transitions.
