I'm a student at The Los Angeles Film School I've taken Editing I which is the basic breakdown of editing next year is when the advanced Editing II class start but I was wondering if anyone could tell me how do you get the seamless transition/cut? I provided an example video. Notice how the scenes transition almost seamlessly perfect? I know how to transition but there's always that split blank pause not the seamless transition. I was wondering if someone can teach me how to do it?

Are you using Trim Mode to do this type of cutting?

I'm extremely new to editing all I know is the basics from what I've learned so far in my editing class we have Editing I and Editing II I haven't gotten to Editing II yet we learned about transitions and cuts but the basics.

I understand all that how the angles was shot etc but when you edit and you cut/transition from one scene to the next there's this almost split second pause during the transition but in most professional feature films there's no split second transition it flows smoothly into the next scene. That's what im asking about 


Are you saying there's a blank frame in your cuts? That's why I asked if you were using trim mode, where such things show up clearly.

 

I've never had a blank frame pop up between clips I've cut together though, whether in trim mode or not.
