What were these visual effects on the PS1?

I've noticed how on the 32-bits (Saturn included) there were some effects that you wouldn't see ever afterwards (not even on the Dreamcast or PS2) so I wanted to know if it had a proper name or a method to replicate it for indie game.

First is that one effect you see when you enter a battle in FF7 or that boss in Klonoa when you get teleported:

Then you have that fade to black that is uneven most of the time:

Basically it's a transition effect like a warp or fade

Video feedback effect I think

These transition effects were popular back in the day. They are still available, but out of fashion.

Just really fancy lookin transitions. I like the Time Twister cutscenes in Crash Bandicoot 3 for this.

Ah, just realized the video doesnt show it. When it goes away it twists into black

I see that it shows there when you get into a level

(at 3:48).

So basically when it was new they loved to do it (like water in the early 6th gen or bloom in the 7th gen).
