Film editing Straight Cut Transition

What is a straight cut transition? 

A straight cut transition is one of the most basic and commonly used transitions. The straight cut is known by many names, its known as the hard cut, standard cut, or A to B cut. In its simplest term a straight cut is a transition from one shot to another without effects. 

How and why is a straight cut transition used in editing a film?

Straight cut transition is used when a cut is made in a film form one shot to another without effects. It is also used in film editing because it's the foundation of continuity editing. This prosses role is to maintain a film’s cohesiveness throughout its runtime. 

How does a Straight Cut transition compare to the Jump Cut and the Dissolve transitions?

The main difference between the straight cut, the jump cut, and dissolve transition can be easily shown through their audios. The straight cuts audio doesn't start or stop until the visual clip is shown. The audio from the jump cut is a little different, its audio from the first clip continues into the second clip. A dissolve transition is a common transition that either fades a shot into black or white, it can also be a blend of two scenes put together.

Here are pictures of how a Straight cut compared to a jump cut looks like in the editing software.

While creating this PowerPoint  I  did encounter a few problems. The first problem I had was with my PowerPoint  system. Once I  had all the information into the  PowerPoint  I the needed to record a voice over per the instructions.
