Edit snap point
Objects, object edges, markers or the playback marker will spring automatically to
particular "Key positions", when you move them close enough with the mouse. This is
called "snapping". This helps to position objects exactly, even if the project is zoomed
out. Per object, one snap point may now be placed within an object to mark positions
where other objects should snap to. This can be helpful, for example, in case a title
should be shown at a specific position of a video object.
• 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.
• With the "Set snap point" option, which you can find in the menu "Edit" >"Edit
snap points", a snap point will be set. "Delete snap point" deletes a snap point. If
in the object the "Set snap point" option is selected at another position, the snap
point will be moved.
• "Delete all snap points" deletes all snap points for all objects in a film.
Shortcut for "Set snap point": Ctrl + P
