Video transitions are visual effects that provide a smooth and seamless flow between two or more clips or scenes in a video. They are used to improve visual consistency, polish, and provide a unified viewing experience. 

Transitions vary in style, duration, and effects, and they aid in visually appealing and interesting transitions from one scene to the next. 

Video transitions include fades, dissolves, wipes, slides, zooms, and cuts. These transitions may be applied to numerous components inside the footage, such as images, text, or even whole scenes, and they play an important part in video editing to produce a professional and polished end product.
