Bump 零秒變化（bump）
A cue that changes state instantly with no fade time. Used for snaps to black, hard hits on a musical accent, and stutter effects. Crews in Hong Kong and Taiwan generally say the English word rather than translate it.
中文
沒有漸變時間、瞬間切換的 cue，用在瞬間切黑、跟著音樂重拍的硬切、閃動效果。香港和臺灣的工作人員多半直接講英文 bump，不翻譯。

| HK / TW | Bump | 口語直接用英文，中文書面可寫「零秒」或「即時變化」。 |
Easy to get wrong
In Australia and New Zealand bump-in and bump-out mean load-in and load-out. Nothing to do with a zero-count cue.
In audio a bump is usually a small level or EQ nudge, not an instant change of state.
「零秒」只是描述漸變時間，不是 cue 的名稱。寫在 cue 表上要寫時間值，不要只寫這兩個字。
