Edit a six-second sequence with scenes A/B. These times specify this example; adapt them to the material and check captions and sound rights. Hard cut An original six-second schematic with scenes A/B. Optional synthesized tones contain no speech. Switch image and sound from A to B together at 3 seconds, without overlap. Move quickly to another viewpoint in an action or conversation. Large changes in motion direction or eyeline can make continuity harder to follow.

Edit a six-second sequence with scenes A/B. These times specify this example; adapt them to the material and check captions and sound rights. Cross dissolve An original six-second schematic with scenes A/B. Optional synthesized tones contain no speech. Blend A into B from 2.5 to 3.5 seconds; switch sound at 3 seconds. Suggest a gentle connection or passage of time between scenes. Choose a duration that keeps overlapping faces and text readable. Decide sound timing separately.

Edit a six-second sequence with scenes A/B. These times specify this example; adapt them to the material and check captions and sound rights. Fade through black An original six-second schematic with scenes A/B. Optional synthesized tones contain no speech. Fade A to black from 2.5 to 3 seconds and black to B from 3 to 3.5; keep that interval silent. Mark a chapter ending or a clear gap between scenes. Check whether the break is too strong for a continuous conversation.

Edit a six-second sequence with scenes A/B. These times specify this example; adapt them to the material and check captions and sound rights. J cut An original six-second schematic with scenes A/B. Optional synthesized tones contain no speech. Start sound B at 2 seconds, then switch the image to B at 3; the audio lead is one second. Use the next speaker or location sound to anticipate an image change. Avoid ambiguity about the sound source. Align captions with what is heard.

Edit a six-second sequence with scenes A/B. These times specify this example; adapt them to the material and check captions and sound rights. L cut An original six-second schematic with scenes A/B. Optional synthesized tones contain no speech. Switch the image to B at 3 seconds, keep sound A until 4, then switch to sound B. Show a listener’s reaction or related image while the previous speaker continues. Avoid making the old sound appear to be speech from the new image.

Edit a six-second sequence with scenes A/B. These times specify this example; adapt them to the material and check captions and sound rights. Jump cut An original six-second schematic with scenes A/B. Optional synthesized tones contain no speech. Remove source seconds 3–6 from shot A. Join 0–3 and 6–9, and align sound and captions with the omission. Remove waiting or hesitations to shorten a sequence. Do not change the meaning of testimony or instructions. Signal the time gap when needed.
