When Not To Use Dissolves In Video Editing
So here’s the thing…
I do quick recuts on some of my client’s videos.
I don’t edit videos for people.
I recut them to show them what is possible by adding and removing content
and I’m always going arghhhhhh
because instead of one shot simply cutting to the next shot
there are dissolves/fades/transitions added between the shots.
I get it. You can. It’s fun. It looks nice
BUT
anytime you have to recut the content
- and if you are creating useful content then you will be asked to recut it or someone will ask if they can recut it -
if you have dissolves you have just made it
- messier
- time-consuming
- more expensive
to recut your content.
AND
this is not what you want if you are a New Video Professional or NVP
NVP’s aren’t really interested in video but they use it because they know it boosts their business to do so.

ps. Are there times to use dissolves? Definitely and powerfully. Just don’t use then randomly.
