buttons in the Magnetic Strength section.

(the point at which there is no volume, to minimize the glitches that can happen when waveforms
are spliced together) select the Snap to Audio Zero Crossings check box.
6. Click OK to close the dialog.
All time selections and drag-and-drop editing operations use the new snap grid resolution(s).

Snap offsets
Snap offsets allow you to set a point other than the beginning of a clip as the “snap” point used by
the Snap to Grid. A snap offset is the number of samples from the beginning of the clip. Snap offsets
affect all edits that obey the Snap to Grid setting. Once the snap offset is added, you can set the
Timer Ruler to SMPTE or MBT time.
Creating a snap offset
Use the following to add a snap offset to a clip:
1. Locate the place in the clip where you want to put the snap offset, and set the Now Time to that
location. Use the Scrub tool if necessary.
2. Right-click on the clip and select Set Snap Offset to Now Time from the menu that appears.
Edits to that clip, when the Snap to Grid button is depressed, now snap to the snap offset rather
than the beginning of the clip.
Deleting a snap offset
1. Select the clip.
2. Open the Clip Inspector and select the Properties section.
3. Click the Snap Offset field and type 0.
Note: You cannot set a snap offset for a Groove clip.
