Enable or disable snapping
While snapping is extremely useful, it can also be a hindrance if you’re trying to move a clip only
a few frames among a series of markers and clip boundaries, and you don’t want it to snap to
any of these points. Fortunately, you can turn snapping on or off at any time, even while you’re
dragging a clip.
Do one of the following:
m Choose View > Snapping (or press N).
A checkmark indicates that snapping is on. You can press N to turn snapping on or off while
you’re dragging a clip.
m Click the Snapping button in the upper-right corner of the Timeline.
