Answers.Body: <p>The two most common approaches, if you don't have <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-roll" rel="nofollow">B-roll</a> coverage, is either a dissolve (usually a cross-dissolve) or a fade-out/fade-in (usually dip-to-black).

Answers.Text: Yes, openshot does have transitions, and they have both dissolves and fades.  They also have a plethora of garish effects if you really want to call attention to the transition instead of letting the story and the video imagery speak for itself.

Body: <p>I used the Razor tool in Openshot to remove a scene from a movie. However, the transition between the two surrounding scenes is now very choppy. The movie is now simply two separate clips. Is there a way to "fuse" the two clips together, so the transition is smooth?</p>

  The two most common approaches, if you don't have [B-roll](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-roll) coverage, is either a dissolve (usually a cross-dissolve) or a fade-out/fade-in (usually dip-to-black). Garish effects (essentially all the others offered in a typical NLE) can also be used (but are usually avoided).
  
  IF the clip you are cutting out means joining what looks like a single take (with a discontinuity in the middle), the dip is your friend. If the clip you are cutting out takes you from one scene to another, the cross dissolve can also work.
