What is a "dissolve"?
A dissolve is a type of transition in film and video editing where one scene gradually fades out while the next scene simultaneously fades in, creating a smooth, overlapping transition between the two. This technique is used to signify a passage of time, a change in location, or a shift in the narrative, helping to connect scenes in a visually seamless manner. A dissolve can add a sense of continuity and flow to the storytelling, making transitions between different moments or scenes more fluid.
