Cuts and transitions
What the cut or transition is?
In video editing a transition is what the author shows between two shots or clips. The joining of those clips is the transition from one to the other. Transitions can be an instant scene or image change, a fade, fade to black, dissolve. https://www.webopedia.com/TERM/V/video_transition.html
 A cut is an abrupt, but usually trivial film transition from one sequence to another.
Different cuts and transitions:
1.    Whip pan is a type of pan shot in which the camera pans so quickly that the picture blurs into indistinct streaks. An example is when something is being murdered and suddenly the knife drenched in blood is blurred out. It has been used in Director Paul Thomas Anderson films such as Phantom Thread. Whip pan is used to see if the audience captures what they saw before it had blurred out. This makes the audience want to know what is behind the blurred vision.
2.    Another type of cut is Cross cut, which is an editing technique most often used in films to establish action occurring at the same time, and usually in the same place https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-cuttingAn example is an action movie such as inceptions as they use when signifying sudden action. It is used to catch the audience attention and to engage them in what is happening.
Fade in/from black:
1.    Cutaways shot is the interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else. It is usually, although not always, followed by a cut back to the first shot, when the cutaway avoids a jump cut https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaway_(filmmaking). An example is the film The God Father. They use cutaway shots to create a dramatic shot which signifies a way to adjust the pace of the action.
2.     Graphic match/cut is used to continuously transition two successive shots. A graphic match creates a cut between two shots that juxtapose their graphically similar images. graphic match creates a cut between two shots that juxtapose their graphically similar images. An example is The Man with a movie camera, it is used to observe the subtle visual similarities.
Wipe:
1.    wipe is a type of film transition where one shot replaces another by travelling from one side of the frame to another or with a special shape. An example of this is in Star Wars film as they wipe left to right. This is used to show a quick camera pans in action sequences, to make a cut invisible.
2.    jump cut is a cut in film editing in which two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly if at all. For example, is The Vanishing Lady. It is used to show how everything can jump forward suddenly in time.
3.    J-cut is when J cut is a variant of a split edit film editing technique in which the audio from a following scene overlaps the picture from the preceding scene. An example is London fields as they contain visual continuity. 
4.    A dissolve is a gradual transition from one image to another. For example, In Citizen Kane’s films.  the use of a dissolve is held to indicate that a period of time has passed between the two scenes.

5.    Cutting on action or matching on action refers to film editing and video editing techniques where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action. A common example is a man walking up to a door and reaching for the knob/
6.    L cut is a variant of a split edit film editing technique in which the audio from preceding scene overlaps the picture from the following scene. An example, is it is used to show
