I, for one, think that there is much more to "jump cut" than not cutting
to black! ANY two images? Really??

Re: cutting to black

I cut at an ad agency a bit right now.

We cut to black as the cheapest (in every sense of the word) way to avoid
jarring edits. Connect any two images without a jump cut. The end.

Dipping to black (i.e. 7 frames of fade before and after) is even better
but it takes a half second out of your 30...
