Question

What are transitions effect? How are they useful while making a movie.

Answer 1

A transition is a technique used in the post-production process of film editing and video editing by which scenes or shots are combined.

Answer 2

Answer:

Those dozens or even hundreds of flips, flaps, flops, fly-ins and other athletic visual effects that signal a change from one scene to another are irresistible. You can make incoming shots tumble on-screen like circus clowns, pound the outgoing shots into the ground like stakes or float them toward the viewer on cubes like great Borg spaceships. And, unfortunately, you probably will. Unfortunately? Yes, because your viewers can tolerate only so many hyperactive graphics before fatigue sets in, followed quickly by irritation. What works as a commercial bumper for Jerry Springer is not necessarily good for most videos.To use transitions with finesse you need to know what each one says to the audience and how to select and deploy them. That’s what we’re here for.Let’s commence by clearing up some confusion in terminology. Technically speaking, every single transition that you make with your software is created digitally and is, therefore a Digital Video Effect or in the universal abbreviation, a DVE.

However, common transitions like fades, dissolves and wipes, predate the digital era by many decades. For this reason, editors sometimes refer to them as just plain effects, reserving the term DVE for the highly complex transitions that became practical only with the rise of digital processing.

A second confusion arises from a lack of standard terminology. Sure, everyone understands "fade in," but no one can agree on the hundreds (by now, maybe thousands) of proprietary effects designed by different vendors. What do you call an incoming shot that starts as a tiny dot in the middle of the screen and then moves in an ever-widening spiral, growing in size until it has covered the outgoing shot? Spiral out? Corkscrew? And what do you call it if the incoming shot simultaneously revolves like a gas station sign while it’s spiraling in, Texaco Spiral?

To cut through the clutter, we’ll refer to all transitional effects as DVEs and define just the ones that have universally understood meanings.
