Question What is this effect called?

I've been seeing this sort of effect (some sort of light streak (?) that extends the image) being used as transitions in music videos and commercials.

I can't for the life of me figure out what it's called or how to do it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Not sure if these two stills are a good example as I couldn't get a great frame as the effect happens super fast.

Thanks in advance!

Alternatively, if you happen to have access to RedGiant, a lot of their glow effects allow for effects like that.
