A camera trick used a great deal before more sophisticated special effects were contrived. They stop the camera, change or add something to the shot, and start it again with everything else in the same positions. It's entirely possible this was the very first special effect, used in films made in the first years of cinema, like J. Stuart Blackton's Enchanted Drawing, in which a vaudeville artist draws a glass of wine and then magically pulls a real glass full of real wine off the page. Also known as "locking off." Compare to Match Cut and Gilligan Cut. A Stop Trick done badly could result in a Jump Cut. Examples |

This plays an important part in the fifth class trial of Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. The alleged victim, Kaito, is filmed getting crushed by a hydraulic press. In actuality, Kokichi stopped the press and the camera at the same time just as Kaito's body was obscured by the press. The two switched places, and Kaito started both the press and camera again, crushing Kokichi. | |

Noticeable in the early Power Rangers series, mostly in the giant monster fights when the enemy exploded. In fact, it's still being used in Super Sentai (and various other tokusatsu) today. As shown in unused scenes from some Kamen Rider shows, this is how they handle transformations: a shot is taken with the actor, then one with the costumed stuntman in the same position, and finally the two shots are combined as a simultaneous fade-out/fade-in with a CGI Transformation Sequence covering up the transition. | |

This is the miracle that allows Muppets to pick up objects when their hands are clearly incapable of it. "Secrets of the Muppets", an episode of The Jim Henson Hour, explained this technique at length (described as a "tape edit" effect). Gonzo denies that his hands are no more than useless pieces of fabric, and demonstrates by repeatedly picking up a telephone. Every time it rings, he places his hand on the receiver, the shot cuts to another angle, and he lifts the phone which is now attached to his hand. Once he realizes the audience has caught on, Gonzo flees the scene...with the phone still attached, so he gets yanked back. Kermit arrives and reminds him that you should never leave a room when your hand is still glued to the telephone. When Bunsen and Beaker built a teleporter in the Peter Sellers episode of the Muppet Show, this trick is how it worked. |

Used in Red Dwarf to allow Rimmer to obtain holographic items out of thin air and change clothes/hair. Also used in the ad for Kryten's replacement, Hudzen, in the episode "The Last Day", when he demonstrates that he's "10x faster than any other droid" by "instantly" cooking a chicken (uncooked chicken + special FX beam + freeze = cooked chicken!) In "Out of Time", when Starbug hits pockets of unreality, causing Starbug to disappear (so the crew are flying through space on chairs) and everyone's heads to become animal heads. How the Polymorph/Emohawk changed shape. Taken to the limits in the beginning scene where the Polymorph sees itself in a mirror, and changes in over thirty-four different objects until finally settling on a bunny rabbit. |

Skits on Mystery Science Theater 3000 (particularly any of those involving Observer) employ this cut a lot (usually accompanied with a little popping noise). This is probably partly due to the show's low budget, but it's also probably an homage to Star Trek's use of the Stop Trick. Used heavily in the Design for Dreaming short. As well as Mr. B Natural. |

The original Star Trek series would do this whenever the Sufficiently Advanced Alien needed to make stuff disappear. Also the method used for the transporters. The memoirs point out that it's very hard to get actors to stay still long enough to film the effect properly without multiple takes. The "Q flash" was used to cover up tiny movements that other actors made while John de Lancie moved into, or out of, camera view for Q's sudden appearances and disappearances while the cameras were stopped. |

Used on every episode of The Monkees, generally accompanied by a 'pop' or 'boink' noise. | |

Lili Von Shtupp does it in Blazing Saddles, when she changes into something "more comfortable". | |

Doctor Who: The standard TARDIS materialisation method in did this, with a dissolve instead of a jump cut. The teleportation effect in "The Keys of Marinus". The exploding pesticide can in "Planet of the Giants" is executed this way. The Gel-Guards in "The Three Doctors" used this trick. Several regenerations in the Classic series use this too, again with a fade. Notable is the First into Second, which was done on a broken vision mixing desk which oversaturated the image with light, creating a glowing effect. The Third into Fourth uses a simple dissolve. The Fourth into Fifth stops the footage three times and dissolves between them to show the Doctor growing a "cocoon" that then fades away revealing the new Doctor. The Raston Warrior Robot in "The Five Doctors" used this effect for its Flash Step attacks. |

Blake's 7 used this for teleportation scenes. In "Gold" there's a Special Effects Failure when an actor in the foreground visibly moves between the shots. | |

This gimmick is used over and over again in the Monty Python's Flying Circus "Confuse-A-Cat" sketch. It's better seen than described. | |

The Prisoner (1967) used a variant: Whenever Rover appears in a crowd scene, everyone freezes in place, but there's a noticeable cut once Rover is gone and everyone's free to move again. This is because the Rover footage was actually run in reverse. | |

Whenever Pitch the devil pops in and out of existence in Santa Claus (1959), it's done with a stop trick. Extremely obvious in crowd scenes, where the extras will dutifully stop walking until the shot resumes. | |

Used a lot on Sabrina the Teenage Witch, especially whenever someone would magically change their clothes. Particularly obvious in some of the first-season episodes. | |
