crossfading

Smooth track transition

Crossfading is the technique of smoothly transitioning between two audio or video sources by fading one out while fading the other in simultaneously.

DJs crossfade between tracks to maintain continuous music.

Video editors crossfade between scenes for seamless transitions.

In slang, crossfading means being intoxicated on both alcohol and marijuana at the same time: I got way too crossfaded at that party.
