Transition keys

CUT

This key will change any existing transition to a simple cut at the Timeline edit point under the playhead. It will not add a new cut at the playhead position. To do this use the Split Clip (Command-\) function instead.

DIS (Dissolve)

This key will add a one second dissolve centered between the two shots at the Timeline edit point under the playhead. If there is another transition already present there, it will replace it.

SMTH CUT (Smooth Cut)

This key will add a Smooth Cut transition centered between the two shots at the Timeline edit point under the playhead. If there is another transition already present there, it will replace it.

Smooth Cuts are special-purpose transitions designed to make short jump cuts in the middle of a clip unnoticeable. This is done by using optical flow processing to match the same features on

either side of a cut in order to automatically morph a subject from one position to another over the duration of the transition.

The Smooth Cut effect works best on clips such as sit-down interviews and close-up head shots with a minimum of background and subject motion, and where the subject’s position on either side of the cut is not significantly different. A good example of when Smooth Cut is effective is when you’re

cutting pauses, partial repeats, filler sounds such as “um” or “you know,” or other speech disfluencies out of an interview clip to tighten the dialog, and you want to eliminate the little “jump” that occurs at the cut without having to cut away to B-roll. Applying a short two or four frame Smooth Cut transition to the edit can make this kind of edit invisible, as long as the speaker doesn’t change position significantly during the cut. The more motion there is in the background of the shot, and the more the speaker changes position, the harder it will be to get a useful result using Smooth Cut. Although the default duration for any transition is one second, you’ll find that Smooth Cut transitions may work much better when they’re short; 2- to 6-frame Smooth Cut transitions often work best to disguise jump cuts.
