Snap clips

To make it easier to align clips with one another or with particular points in time, you can activate the snap feature. When you move a clip with snap on, it automatically aligns with, or snaps to, the edge of another clip, a marker, the start and end of the time ruler, or the current‑time indicator. Snapping also helps to ensure you don’t inadvertently perform an insert or overlay edit when dragging. As you drag clips, a vertical line with arrows appears and indicates when clips are aligned.

Enable and disable the snap feature

 At the upper left of the Timeline panel under the Sequence tab, click the Snap button  to select it. Click it again to deselect it.

Snap a clip

  1. Make sure that the Snap button  is selected in the Timeline panel.
  2. Drag the edge of a clip close to the edge of another clip or a marker or the current‑time indicator. A vertical line appears when alignment occurs.
    You can toggle the snap feature using a keyboard shortcut (S) even during an editing operation, such as moving or trimming a clip.
