A fade in moving pictures refers to a phenomenon of gradual transition from one image to another image while these images are being overlapped during the transition. The fade includes a fade-in which represents a transition from a monochromatic static image to a moving image, a fade-out which represents a transition from a moving image to a monochromatic static image, and a cross-fade (also referred to as a dissolve or an overlap) which represents a transition from one moving image to another moving image.
