fading together

Explanation:
When I first saw this answer, I agreed with "linked" as Lydia wrote down, and I wondered why Ben wrote down "sequence shot." Then I looked up "encadenado" in the Oxford dictionary and found "linked" when "encadenado" is an adjective. Then I looked up the verb "encadenar" and found out that when used with scenes or sequences relating to movies or film it means "fade ... together" Thus, in this specific context, I believe this would be the most appropriate translation.

sequence shot

Explanation:
Sequence shot
A sequence shot involves both a long take and sophisticated camera movement; it is sometimes called by the French term plan-séquence. The use of the sequence shot allows for realistic and dramatically significant background and middle ground activity. Actors range about the set transacting their business while the camera shifts focus from one plane of depth to another and back again. Significant off-frame action is often followed with a moving camera, characteristically through a series of pans within a single continuous shot.

Another possibility would be "transitioning"

Transitions
In film or video scene consists of a sequence of shots. Each shot is made from a different perspective and then they are joined together. The joining together of the individual shots to make a particular scene is accomplished through transitions.

The transition may be from one camera angle to another camera angle or from one camera to another camera. When you do transitions as a CG animator you are fulfilling the role of the editor, whose task is to put together a set of individual shots into a scene. One technique that film editors use is to focus on a particular element that is consistent between shots. This can be a physical object or it can be a compositional element such as a motion, color, or direction.
