Snapping aects the functions of many of the editing tools in Final Cut Pro, including
the Select tool, the Trim tool, the Position tool, the Range Selection tool, and the Blade
tool. Several elements trigger snapping in the Timeline:
Clip boundaries (start and end points) Â
The playhead and the skimmer Â
Markers Â
Keyframes Â
Range selections Â
Adjust clip appearance and height
1 Click the Clip Appearance button in the lower-right corner of the Timeline.
2 In the Clip Appearance window, do any of the following:
 To adjust how clips appear in the Timeline: Click a clip appearance button at the top.
 To adjust the vertical height of clips in the Timeline: Drag the Clip Height slider to the
left to decrease the clip height, or to the right to increase the clip height.
 To turn connection lines on or o: Select or deselect the checkbox to turn connection
lines for connected clips and storylines on or o.
 To view clips by name: Choose Clip Names from the Show pop-up menu.
 To view clips by role: Choose Clip Roles from the Show pop-up menu.
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 o at
any time, even while you’re dragging a clip.
