Why Are Cut-On-Action Transitions So Impactful?

If you’ve watched a lot of social media videos, like TikTok and Instagram Reels, you’ll find a lot of videos include transitions that use both camerawork and carefully curated editing, to make a transition look smooth. Think about it this way; have you seen those videos where the person in the video quickly pans up, like they’re flipping the camera, and when it “lands”, the person is somewhere new, or you see a completely different person? That’s the kind of transition, we’re talking about. These transitions are what we like to call Cut-On-Action Transitions.
