Timeline term: transition
A transition is how one unit gives way to the next: a straight cut, a dissolve, a dip to black or an effect. In AI editors it is chosen by the user, applied by the tool, or built from frames. From 8 source pages, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.
Eight editors apply transitions themselves and four let the user pick. Nine say nothing.
Most drama cuts straight; a tool that adds effects by default changes the rhythm of an episode.

2From an episode pipeline
The episode pipeline SceneMixer documents has its own answer to “Transition”; two lines from its pages:
Each segment is generated on whatever tier was selected at the time, and the episode composites them together.

Paste a scene or a short script and SceneMixer gives you a storyboard — numbered shots with framing and seconds — and then a moving version of each segment, which you can join into a rough cut of the scene.
