Key takeaways

  • A match cut connects two clips with similar actions to create a seamless transition.
  • There are different types of match cuts - e.g. action match cuts, where movements continue across different scenes, or static match cuts, where an object or person stays in the same position but the setting changes.
  • Make sure your actions in both clips align to ensure a smooth transition and use Instagram's tools to align the clips just right.
