Where is a transition typically applied in a standard edit?

• A. Over the entire sequence
• B. Between two adjacent clips
• C. On a single clip only
• D. At the start of the first clip

Answer: (B)

Transitions are effects that define how one shot moves to the next. In a standard edit, you place a transition at the seam where two clips meet—the boundary between adjacent clips—so the end of the first clip blends into the start of the next. This is why the best choice is between two adjacent clips: the transition naturally sits at that boundary to create a smooth change from one shot to the following one. It isn’t applied across the entire sequence, and it isn’t limited to a single clip unless you’re intentionally creating a specific internal effect, like a fade within one clip.
