• As defined by the man who coined the term:

    An Avid fart is an annoying editing technique that involves flashing through a bunch of frames or sped up shots, usually accompanied by a whoosh or thoooom or choooonk sound effect. I believe it was originally used for things like in that [Lance Henriksen] TV show Millennium when he had a psychic vision. But then they started using it just as a meaningless transition between scenes in many movies and TV shows, because they think it adds [production value] or style. But it really just makes it seem shitty.

    I call it the Avid fart because Avid is the name of the first commonly used digital editing system, and its this technology that has made [Avid farts] easy. So editors with no self control start pushing buttons thinking they are adding to the movie by throwing in all kinds of annoying crap that does not add to the movie.
