# Adjusting a Preset SMPTE Wipe

If you modify the start position for the wipe, you can adjust the interpolation for the transition.

To adjust a preset SMPTE wipe:

1. Select the SMPTE wipe transition icon on the timeline and display its quick menu.
2. Click Pattern, and then select a wipe pattern in the file browser.
3. Move the positioner to the first frame of the transition.
4. Select Position from the Global Axis box, and then change the start position of the transition of the wipe using the X and Y Position fields.

   If you scrub the transition, you should see the wipe make a large jump at the last frame.

5. If the Adjust button is not greyed out, enable it.
   NoteIf the Adjust button is greyed out, a template does not exist for the wipe and you must select a different pattern in order to use the Adjust feature.

   The jump in the wipe should be gone and the interpolation for the wipe should be fairly even.
