List of Video Dissolve transitions

Last updated on Oct 19, 2025

Dissolve transition type	Description
Additive Dissolve	Adds color information from clip B to clip A, and then subtracts the color information of clip A from clip B.
Cross Dissolve	Fades out clip A while fading in clip B. Works well at the beginning or end of a clip when you want to fade in or out from black.
Dip To Black	Note Fades clip A to black and then fades from black to clip B. Using dip to black at the beginning or end of a clip will also affect a video on a lower track, something not always expected when a simple fade in/out of the targeted clip is wanted. The cross-dissolve transition may work better for this.
Dip To White	Fades clip A to white, then fades from white to clip B.
Film Dissolve	Blends more realistically, and dissolves look the way they should. Blends in a linear color space (where gamma equals 1.0).
Morph Cut	Creates a harmonious transition between two similar clips, usually of a person speaking. It analyses the frames and uses face tracking and interpolation to smooth over jump cuts, making it look like a continuous shot.
Non-Additive Dissolve	Blends two clips by crossfading their pixel values without brightening the result, unlike standard dissolves that can create a glow or lighten overlapping areas. It makes a more neutral, natural-looking fade between clips.
