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.
Depending on the Setup settings, the transition may be executed at the 
instant you press the [PTN LIMIT] button, and the button goes off. In this 
case, execution continues for the time specified by the dedicated transition 
rate in the menu setting, as far as the state of the next transition.
For details of the setting, see “Settings Relating to Keys, Wipes, Frame 
Memory and Color Correction (Key/Wipe/FM/CCR Menu)” in Chapter 20 
(Volume 3).

the next transition is a key transition, the key cuts in or out instantaneously.
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. (See “Setting the Transition Rate”
