[Middle English dissolven, from Latin dissolvere : dis-, dis- + solvere, to release.]
dissolvable dis·solv'a·ble adj.A Web site design technique borrowed from the film and video industry in which the transition between two Web pages is represented visually by one page fading into another. Also known as a "soft cut," the result is achieved in the HTML coding of the images to gradual pre-determined durations. A dissolve might begin with 100% of one image, then 90/10, 80/20 and so on to achieve the desired effect. See slide transition.

Visual effect, used most frequently in television production, in which one scene fades out to black as another scene fades in from black (see fade in; fade out). The scenes appear to dissolve one into the other. A dissolve is used primarily to make a smooth transition between scenes in order to show the passage of time in a given situation, or to show simultaneous action in two different scenes. In audio, this simultaneous fading in and out is called a cross fade.
