description: "Transition animated icon (Video editing). A cut becomes a dissolve. Light: the second frame glides up over the first and stops dead in the overlap with a small knock; as it covers it, the first frame dissolves (dims) and comes back up once the second has seated, so one shot fades through the other. Strong: the second frame draws back first, drives in hard and settles in two beats, and the first frame dissolves deeper. The frames stay overlapped. The reverse is a hard cut: the second frame slides straight back out, with no dissolve, and knocks once on arrival."

# Transition animated icon

A cut becomes a dissolve. Light: the second frame glides up over the first and stops dead in the overlap with a small knock; as it covers it, the first frame dissolves (dims) and comes back up once the second has seated, so one shot fades through the other. Strong: the second frame draws back first, drives in hard and settles in two beats, and the first frame dissolves deeper. The frames stay overlapped. The reverse is a hard cut: the second frame slides straight back out, with no dissolve, and knocks once on arrival.
