Dissolve (Cinematography)In digital video editing, a dissolve is done in software, by interpolating gradually between the RGB values of each pixel of the image. The cut and the dissolve are used differently. A camera cut changes the perspective from which a scene is portrayed. It's as if the viewer suddenly and instantly moved to a different place, and could see the scene from another angle. Often this is done without missing any action (a seamless cut). A dissolve can be used to cover up sloppy camera work or unexplainable gaps in the action. When done quickly, it can be nearly unnoticeable. When abused, it can be so hard to detect as to be effective in giving a false impression. (An unscrupulous director could quote someone out of context merely by cutting out a few intervening words or splicing later remarks in front of earlier remarks.) Usually, the purpose is more constructive, and it's done slowly enough to portray the passage of time. As such, it replaces the old silent film convention of showing a slide with a caption like, "Meanwhile, back at the ranch." Links * Shot transitions - From Introduction to The Basics of Video Editing
