I was reading a story and instead of using “transition fade in/out” to indicate a time or scene change (night to day) it looked as if it changed right on the spot, without having the fade. Anyone know what i’m talking about/ how to do that?

Just don’t put @transition fade in or out
I just tried that and it didn’t work. Since I have two backgrounds,(the night and then the day)
I need to have something in between.
Just copy your script and put the night background in and add the spots.
Can you explain?
Just don’t use a transition
@pause for a beat?
Put that in between?
I HAVE to have something in between
That didn’t work, but thank you for responding (:

Why?
INT. BACKGROUD - DAY
@pause for [number of seconds]
INT. BACKGROUND - NIGHT
@pause for [number of seconds]
That’s all you have to do.

I have two backgrounds
Oh okay. So yea, add a pause between backgrounds
May I ask what episode that what in? I have been trying to figure that out myself.
I think it was in The New girl. It was a really cool transition and i’m trying to find out how to do it

So you just want to switch from one background to another with out a fade or anything, correct?
Yess
.
I did that and it didn’t look the same
How? Because that’s literally all you need to do. Just add a background and don’t use a transition.
If you’re zoomed in and are in a different zone in the previous background, then make sure to cut to the same zone and zoom in on the same place in the new background.
