Video Transitions

What is a transition? A transition in video editing is a way of successfully creating harmony between two clips in a video. For instance, when trying to give the viewer a sense of change in time in a video, an editor will often use a fade in fade out dissolve.  To cross between to like clips in a project, an editor could use a cross fade transition, this would blend the two clips together and make them seem a bit more seamless. There are multiple other cuts that can be used in the video making process, such as a cut. A cut is pretty much the most basic video transition; it is when two clips in a film are cut together. The video bellow will go into a little bit more depth about film transitions.
