Which transition is a subtype of dissolve that gradually fades to or from an image?

• A. Time Code
• B. Fade Effect
• C. Non-Linear Editing
• D. Continuity Editing

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how fades work as a way to transition between shots. A fade effect gradually changes a shot’s visibility over time, usually going from fully visible to black (fade out) or from black to full visibility (fade in). This fits as a dissolve-style transition because it blends the image with a blank frame over a period, creating a smooth entrance or exit. It’s different from a cross-dissolve that blends two clips together; a fade uses a blank frame as the intermediate image. The other options describe metadata, the editing workflow, or editing principles, not a transition type, so they don’t fit this concept.
