Cross Fade

This transition is a composite effect that uses a crossfade combined with a Zoom, Pixelate or Blur transition. The following illustration shows a Pixelate Cross Effect where the first video gradually becomes more and more pixelated, then crossfades into a pixelated second event, which finally resolves to the second event, thus completing the transition.
