Transition Limits
The Transition Limit (TRANS LIMIT) allows you to set the point where a transition will stop.
This allows you to have all transitions on an MLE proceed only half way and stop. The next
transition is performed from that stop point, back to the original starting point. With a Transition
Limit in place, a transition will not proceed to the other end of the transition.
Setting a Transition Limit
A transition limit is set using the fader on the Transition Module of the MLE that you want to
use the transition limit on. The transition limit must be set up for each MLE that you want to use
the transition limit on.
Use the following procedure to set a transition limit:
1. Move the fader on the Transition Module to the upper or lower limit. This is the start
position. The fader handle must be returned to this position in Step (5.).
2. Select a Dissolve (DISS), Wipe (WIPE), or Squeeze & Tease Wipe (DVE) as the next
transition.
3. Move the fader handle to the desired position. This is the point where you want the
transition to stop.
4. Press TRANS LIMIT on the Transition Module (Figure 5.26) to select the current
point in the transition as the transition limit. There is no visual feedback that the
transition limit point has been set.

5. Move the fader back to the original position. If you move the fader ahead to the opposite
limit, the transition limit will not be set properly. You must return the fader handle to the
original position.
This completes the procedure for setting a transition limit. Refer to the next section for
information on using the Transition Limit.
Using a Transition Limit
A transition limit can be used with any Auto Transition on the Transition Module of the MLE
that the limit was set on. The transition limit will not work on cuts or manual transitions.
