Certain transitions are used to show certain effects:
1) L Cut/Split Edit - used to show someone talking out of shot. When a person talks to another person who isn't talking, when the screen cuts the other person who isn't talking for a reaction, that's the jump cut. The edit also looks like an L on the edit software.
2) Jump Cut - Cuts between two different points in time. It's better to cut on movement. It's also a very simple and obvious cut.
3) Wipe Cut - Found in all star wars films. This is used to create the effect of a page turning in a book or can be used to transfer between movement in one scene to another sceen with none.
4)Parallel Editing - Cutting between two scenes occurring at the same time and interchanging between them to show it. Used in many films and tv shows/dramas.
This episode of Red Dwarf has a good example of parralel editing during the spaceship exploration scenes. Link is below
