Clip Transitions You can play a frame memory clip linked to a background transition, such as a mix or wipe. Only eight channels comprising FM1 to FM8 (FM1&2 Clip, FM3&4 Clip, FM5&6 Clip, FM7&8 Clip) can be used in a clip transition. Clip transition restrictions • Pattern limits cannot be used. • Transition preview cannot be used. • It is not possible to set the transition rate of a clip transition. • Keyframe capture is not possible. • The state of a clip transition during execution cannot be saved as a snapshot. • When recalling a snapshot that includes a clip transition while executing another clip transition, the subsequent transition does not operate properly. Recall the snapshot after the transition completes. • Transitions executed in two strokes, such as a preset color mix with the stroke mode set to [Normal], or a DME wipe with a picture-in-picture pattern, will not execute correctly.
