Video Transitions

Types of transitions. Good to note down

  1. Clean cut
  2. Jump cut (to more quickly get to the point, you could also have sped up the clip)
    1. Tip, zoom in the clip between jump cuts
  3. L-cut (audio from previous clip carries over to next clip) Shape of L
  4. Audio from next clip is in previous clip Shape of J
  5. Cut on action (this makes it super professional)
  6. Cross cutting (creates emotional anxiety)
  7. The cutaway
  8. Match cut (cut between two frames that look super similar), only background changes
  9. Smash cut
  10. Crossfade (lazy mans way of editing)

Seemless transitions

  1. Camera movement transition
  2. Invisible cut
