Match on action (or cutting on action) is an editing technique for continuity editing in which one shot cuts to another shot portraying the action of the subject in the first shot. It shows the action in a clip without showing every detail but only the details you need to know to work out for yourself what has happened. For example you could be going on holiday and the only things that could be filmed is you at the airport, with a sign of your destination, then you on the plane, and last of all you in the airport at your destination. With only showing these few clips you can work out what has gone on inbetween without seeing hours of footage.
