A J cut is when a portion of the audio from a following shot overlaps with the visuals from the previous shot before the visuals of the next shot are introduced. A L cut is similar to a J cut, but instead a portion of the audio from the previous shot plays into the visuals of the next shot. J/L cuts help your edit flow smoothly, and they can also add more emotion to your edit (commonly intensity). It can also help the audience anticipate what might come next, and it's helpful when you're introducing a new location/character, as it makes the transition less abrupt.
