Edit snap point
If the position of objects, object borders, markers, or the playback marker is changed with
the mouse, these will automatically spring to certain "key positions" if you get close enough
to them. This functions as a "notch", i.e. even objects in a higher zoomed resolution can be
precisely positioned, without any gaps, which you wouldn’t normally see in that resolution.
Normally, all object borders and all markers lock to one another.
• Per object, one additional snap point can now be placed within an object to mark
positions where other objects should snap to. This is helpful if you want to show a title at
a certain spot in a video object, for example.
• To set a snap point, select an object and place the playback marker at the position
where you would like the snap point to be.
• Next, use "
Set snap point" to set the point. Likewise, "Delete snap point" removes a
snap point. As soon as you select the option "Set snap point" at another position it will
be moved automatically.
• "
Delete all snap points" deletes all snap points for all objects.
