vocabulary:
Fade- a transition that gradually changes from a color (usually black) to the image [fade in], or from an image to a color [fade out]
Other colors can be used, but be careful of the symbolic references they carry.

Red= blood

Blue= water

White= explosion

Dissolve- a transition that gradually changes from one image to another

These are the two most commonly used transitions and do not have the cheese factor.  Use them well.
