    We are using a lot of blend list cameras. And I have noticed this consistent but unexpected behavior. When using a Cut in a blend list, I have hold set to 0, and so I would expect it to immediately after the cut start blending to the next camera in the stack. But instead, after every cut it holds for ~1 second, then starts moving. No matter what blend in I choose for the next camera.

    Is this expected behavior? Or is there some default I don't know about.

    Indeed yes, it should not hold in this situation. What version of Cinemachine are you using?

    Using 2.6.2
    Obviously the gif is very low framerate, but you see I cut, and then immediately have it starting a new transition, but there is this pronounced delay.

    Yes, it is a bug.
    Thank you very much for reporting this.
    It will be fixed in CM 2.6.3, which will be released later this month.

    As a temporary workaround, instead of specifying Cut in the style you can put something else, like EaseInOut, with a blend time of 0.
