Your cut feels abrupt—but you want anticipation. Try letting the next scene’s sound arrive before its picture.
Compare the same room-to-rain transition two ways, then try it yourself: duplicate a transition, keep the picture cuts identical, and bring the incoming audio in earlier in one version. Which cut prepares you for the next scene?
The 0.75-second lead is this example’s choice, not a rule. Match the timing to your scene’s intention.
