Markers and the snap grid
Arranging
object, you can move the boundary freely until the boundary gets within a
certain number of ticks from the snap target. The closer the object gets to
the snap target, the more strongly the object is pulled to the target. You can
set the strength of magnetic snap to low, medium, high, or off. Note that if
you are zoomed out a certain amount, the time boundary around the snap
target will appear to be quite small, and you might think that the snap grid is
not functioning. If this is the case, zoom in closer to enhance your editing
experience. If you’re dragging a whole clip, magnetic snap is not in effect.
