What is a Graphic Match Cut?

Definition and Purpose

A graphic match cut, often referred to simply as a match cut, is a film editing technique where two different shots are matched by their visual elements such as shape, color, or composition. This creates a seamless transition that can link scenes together in a visually compelling way. The purpose of a match cut is to draw a connection between two different scenes or objects, enhancing the storytelling by creating a visual metaphor or continuity [3:1].

Famous Examples

One of the most famous examples of a match cut is from Stanley Kubrick’s "2001: A Space Odyssey," where a bone thrown into the air transitions into a spaceship, symbolizing the leap in human evolution [3:1]. Another classic example is the transition in Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho," which matches the shape and motion of an eyeball with the drain of a bathtub [3:3], [3:4].

Technical Considerations

Creating a successful match cut requires meticulous planning during production. It involves finding or creating a pair of shots that align in terms of composition, movement, or other visual elements. Using tools like onion skin overlays can help filmmakers line up shots accurately, ensuring a smooth transition [2:1], [2:2]. Additionally, shooting in higher resolutions like 4K can provide more flexibility in post-production to adjust framing and alignment [2:2].

Challenges and Tips

Match cuts are considered one of the more challenging video editing techniques because they require a keen eye for detail and creativity to find matching visual elements across different scenes [1:1]. For those working on match cut-intensive projects, using external monitors and experimenting with tools like CapCut for content-aware transitions can be beneficial [2:1]. It's also helpful to stagger animations or cut frames at peak velocity to enhance the dynamic feel of the transition [4:4], [4:5].

Conclusion

Graphic match cuts are a powerful tool in a filmmaker's arsenal, allowing for creative storytelling through visual continuity. While they require careful planning and execution, the result can be a memorable and impactful cinematic moment that resonates with audiences.

This is a great youtube channel that's full of practical information.

Match cuts have to be thought out in the production, Achieving seamless matches requires meticulous planning during shooting. Sound transitions also matter a lot while maintaining narrative flow. The best one is Jurassic Park match cut.

Match cutting is considered one of the most difficult video editing techniques, because finding a pair of shots that match can take days, if not weeks. Then executing it seamlessly without the audience noticing it is real skillful mastery of the craft.

A fact, Netflix has a MatchCutting tool. They are always finding collaboration opportunities and hiring great machine learning engineers for building out the tools in editing. Their trailers and Stranger things series has extensive use of this.

Any tips, tools or advice for doing match cuts? We have a commercial coming up which is going to be match cut intensive.

Posted by GucciMarxist · in r/videography · 2 years ago

Hi guys, hope everyone is doing well?

Peeps, do any of you have tips, tools, or advice for doing match cuts?

We have a production coming up that mimics a the below Tic Toc trend and is going to be match cut intensive. The idea is that this guys phone orders a bunch of clothing from an online store and we'll need to match cut the clothes instantly appearing on him and adding new clothes to him while he's standing at the mirror.

https://www.tiktok.com/@asherglean/video/7169651582823353605?q=wate

https://www.tiktok.com/@jayhousecars/video/7206914137664884011?q=water%20on%20phone&t=1688633243791

We primarily edit in Premiere Pro and After Effects and was wondering if anyone has advice or tools, plugins that makes the process easier?

I've checked out some TikToks and the people have such seamless match cuts. How do they achieve that? Are there any interesting methods or tricks that help smooth out match cuts?

Any advice, tips, tricks, or tools you can share with me would be so awesome, thanks in Advance!

Happy Thursday!

EDIT: We'll be filmming in 4k if that impacts any options available to us.

EDIT 2: Furthermore, does anyone know of any AI tools/ Content awareness plugins that can assist with this? Something that can do the rotoscoping for us instead of having to do this manually?

Would be keen to know too. From what I have read online, you'll want an external monitor with an onion skin overlays. Big is ideal to give you a better idea of framing. That and maybe some light morph cut? Although morph cut always looks funky whenever i've used it.

2 upvotes on reddit

GucciMarxist · OP · 2 years ago

Onion skin overlay meaning basically taking a screen grab of last frame, lowering opacity and using as overlay to line up before rolling on next scene? That's not a bad idea.

From the little i've seen online in the last couple of minutes, I think 4k will help and allow us to get the clips positioned right in the project as we'll have some breathing room.

I've seen tools like CapCut which uses AI (maybe not AI but content awareness) to manipulate the image for better trasitions but that seems to mainly be on mobile so am unsure if there's anything like that availabe for AE or PP.

What’s this editing style called?

Posted by TheUnoriginalOP · in r/Filmmakers · 22 days ago
post image

I’ve been trying to find more videos like this where a sequence of completely unrelated images is cut together so that each frame matches the one before it, by shape, color, or texture and it ends up flowing almost like animation.

Is there a proper name for this kind of editing? I’ve been thinking of it as a “match-cut timelapse,” but I’m not sure if that’s an actual term or just a rough description.

I've always called this a form cut or form edit. In my editing classes we used form cuts to match shape color or composition of the previous scene or frame. Think the eyeball and drain transition in psycho. Someone else may correct me but that's what I have always called it.

EDIT: the word you may be looking for is montage instead of timelapse.

Check out the formalists / structural filmmakers. A lot of their work played with the 'grammar' of movies, focusing on things that are often otherwise invisible. Michael Snow made a whole movie on the function of "zoom." Frampton on frame rate. &c &c. Gotta of course start with "Man with a Movie Camera."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_film

It’s called a flicker film. It’s a common style of experimental short film.

I made one in college where I walked around San Francisco for hours using a super 8 camera to take single frame exposures of various building and house facades. It looked really cool when played back. I made a soundscape of construction noises to go with it inspired by the weeks long cacophony coming from the property next to my apartment at the time.

I also did a similar one with the wheels on cars that turned out really cool.

It's a fan edit that combines Fire Walk With Me and The Missing Pieces which is a collection of deleted scenes from Fire Walk With Me. It's about twice as long as Fire Walk With Me.

If you've never watched Fire Walk With Me, you should definitely watch it instead of the Blue Rose Cut at least once.

revanite3956 · 5 months ago

So there’s a fan edit called the Q2 version. What that editor did was take all of the material from FWWM as-is, all of the material from The Missing Pieces, and then use the original shooting script as a guide to reassemble the entire project into one long mega film as it was originally conceived before David edited FWWM down into the film as he wanted it to be.

Blue Rose takes the Q2 approach, but then makes a few judicious cuts to align the focus of the film on Laura Palmer, to try to strike a better thematic balance between David’s FWWM and the ‘complete experience’ of Q2.

Why is the ‘matchstick’ cut in Lawrence of Arabia so special?

Posted by KatherineLangford · in r/movies · 6 months ago

I recently watched Lawrence of Arabia, and was surprised to see that the shot of Lawrence blowing the matchstick fire out, which transitions into the shot of the sunrise, is considered an iconic cinematic moment and a defining moment for film editing. Perhaps I’m a huge idiot, but I genuinely don’t get why this shot is special. To me, it’s just a regular (if well timed) cut between two unrelated shots. A character blows out a match, and then we get a timeskip. Why is this cut so special?

Going to disagree on the technical side- it was not difficult to make an edit like this on film at the time. In fact it was super easy, barely an inconvenience. Hell, Murch edited The Conversation literally to the actors' eye blinks.

rotates-potatoes · 6 months ago

I’m not technical enough to defend in depth, but Lawrence was 12 years before The Conversation, and I’ve been told (perhaps incorrectly) that the blend from match/interior to sun/landscape was a challenge because it’s a cut, not a dissolve. So the two scenes lighting had to be matched on film, shot in very different locations and times. I’d welcome correction if that’s not true.

reddroy · 6 months ago

Lots of reasons why it's good.

It's a kind of delayed match cut: the flame is blown out, then there's moments of suspense, then finally the sun rises.

There's also the way Lawrence seems to control the cut, which speaks to his attitude about going to the desert.

Ok_Difference44 · 6 months ago

The line is an early indication that he is not like other Englishmen, and when he refuses to drink until his guide does, he progresses along his personal journey. The quenching of the match foretells his foreshortened life, which the film has already shown, and drops us into the action of the cruel yet purifying sun.

handtoglandwombat · 6 months ago

Lawrence of Arabia was shot in Superpanavision 70 in 1962. The first film shot in that format was in 1959. Scope or ultra wide formats had only really been in use since 1953, so having such a vast aspect ratio was massively impactful to audiences who were still getting used to so much screen real estate taking up their peripheral vision. It’s the era when movie-films became cinema. When you add to that the sound design, the thematic significance in the story, the masterful cinematography, then you might come to realise it’s one of those watershed moments in cinema history where the material justifies the format and made the format more than a gimmick, right up there with Dorothy leaving Kansas and stepping out into a world of colour. We take huge formats for granted now, but back then cinemas were pokey little family run joints filled with cigarette smoke, and the spectacle must’ve been revelatory.

tl;dr: it was a different time

danger_007 · 6 months ago

It was not technically difficult. It was artistically almost unheard of though.

Up until that Lawrence cut, filmmakers gave audiences way too little credit in making the leap from a matchstick to the sunrise in a different location.

This was so innovative, it practically became the foundation of Lawrence second unit cinematographer Nicolas Roeg’s cut-up style when he became a director.

dedolent · 6 months ago

for me it's just evocative, it says a lot purely in the language of film. the lines he speaks before blowing out the match are setting up his character, his point of view. it's also an extreme transition that immediately conveys the brutality of the sun and the qualities of the desert where the action will take place. first we see the fire of a lit match: it's hot, it hurts to touch, but Lawrence cavalierly suggests you simply accept the pain and conquer it. cut immediately to the empty desert sunrise. we still might be taking in what Lawrence just said and did, but the abruptness of the cut immediately undermines his confidence and suggests arrogance, hubris. the sun is the same thing in quality as the lit match - fire - but on a scale that is overwhelmingly massive. is this a pain Lawrence can "not mind"? we go from the controlled, rather comfortable domesticity of a British garrison, with its abundant creature comforts, to the stark, harsh reality of the desert, a place with nowhere to hide - we the audience cannot run or hide from the sun as it rises into view. we are introduced to some of the stakes involved: man vs nature, which is a classic setting for storytelling. i could go on!

You can keyframe the motion using scale and XY parameters in transfrom or using Ken Burns effect in Crop - both in Inspector. Make both clips the same exact length. Once you get the motion right on one clip, copy it and then PASTE ATTRIBUTES onto the second clip. This will paste the motion. Then make each clip a compound clip. Then shorten them so the second clip starts just before the peak of the movement. Bing-bing-bang- you're done

What part do you need help with? The video shows you how to do it. Add an extreme ease in on the first clip, and hard cut to a clip with an extreme ease out. Motion and FCP don’t really support parenting the effects the way AE does, but that just means you need to manually match the keyframe curve.

  1. Definition: A graphic match cut is a film editing technique where two shots are joined together based on their visual similarities, often through shapes, colors, or patterns. This creates a seamless transition that can enhance storytelling.

  2. Purpose: The main goal is to create a visual connection between two scenes, emphasizing thematic elements or emotional resonance. It can also serve to juxtapose different ideas or settings.

  3. Examples:

    • A classic example is in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, where a bone thrown into the air transitions into a spacecraft, linking the themes of evolution and technology.
    • Another example is in The Godfather, where a shot of a wedding cake matches the shape of a gun, highlighting the contrast between celebration and violence.
  4. Impact on Audience: Graphic match cuts can engage viewers by prompting them to make connections between disparate scenes, enhancing their understanding of the narrative or character development.

Takeaway: When used effectively, graphic match cuts can elevate a film's visual storytelling, making it more memorable and impactful. If you're studying film or working on editing, consider experimenting with this technique to see how it can enhance your work.
