is immediately released, and the image switches
 
instantaneously.

rate. 
•
 
When you move the fader lever, the transition is
 
carried out from the pattern limit state to the state
 
before the pattern limit transition was carried out.
 
Moving the fader lever even a little synchronizes the
 
fader lever position with the transition state, and you
 
can move the fader lever either in the forward
 
direction or in the reverse direction.

Cut

the new video. When the next transition is a key transition,

Auto transition 
The transition from the current video to the new video is
 
carried out automatically at a constant rate, using the
 
transition effect selected as the transition type. 
You can set the transition rate in advance
