quick cuts
Fast editing transitions
Quick cuts are rapid transitions between shots in film or video editing, with each image lasting only briefly before switching to the next.
The technique creates urgency, energy, or disorientation: The chase scene used quick cuts to heighten the tension.
Music videos and action sequences rely heavily on quick cuts to maintain visual momentum.
