Glossary
The world of graphic design, video production, and web development is full of technical terms that are often difficult to understand in everyday life. In this glossary, I explain the most important terms from the fields of print, video, and web – concisely, clearly, and without unnecessary jargon. Whether you want to learn about prepress, video editing, or web design: you'll find the right explanation here.
Missing a term you'd like explained? Just send it my way and I'll add it to the list.

An abrupt transition between two shots of the same subject that breaks visual continuity, often making it look like the subject suddenly "jumps" position. Sometimes used deliberately for stylistic effect, but usually avoided in traditional editing.
