Dissolve

A dissolve is a gradual transition from one image to another. A dissolve overlaps two shots for a duration of the effect, usually at the end of one scene and the beginning of the next, but may be used in montage sequences. Sometimes a dissolve is held to indicate that a period of time has passed between the two scenes.
