In graphics and video editing dissolve is a term used to describe a transition effect in which one video clip (or one image) is gradually fads out while another image simultaneously replaces the original one. Also called video dissolve, film dissolve, or linear light blend. The overall objective is for the image or clip to appear to seamlessly transition from one image to the other in a fluid motion.
