Aim Assist is a vertical white line that shows the mouse pointer’s horizontal position in the Clips

pane. The mouse pointer’s time position is also shown in the time ruler.

Aim Assist is a helpful guide when editing in the Clips pane, making it easy to align the mouse

pointer with events on different tracks or markers in the time ruler.
