What is match on action? Match on action is a technique thats used when editing a film. When done successfully it allows motion to continue through a number of shots and seem uninterrupted. Therefore allowing the camera to be cut and then repositioned for the new shot but when you watch the finished product you've missed none of the action. Here is an example from a well known film, watch how the camera is infront of the gun as it shoots and then behind the doors as theyre blown off.
