If you want to remove clips from the Timeline but still maintain the total project duration and timing, you can replace clips with gap clips. This method prevents any ripple edits.
Select the clips or range you want to remove.
Choose Edit > Replace with Gap (or press Shift-Delete).
Final Cut Pro replaces the selection in the Timeline with a gap clip.That effectively disables magnetic timeline. Also, have seen demos where the magnetic timeline function can be turned off. It can easily be turned off by pressing the “P” button.

That’s a buzzkill

I don’t like the fact that the transitions cover the entire line break between clips. In Premiere Pro, they only cover the top third or so, and if for some reason you want to make a transition asymmetrical you can nudge it over a bit and see how much of it is on either clip…

This shows how to turn off the magnetic timeline and position a clip exactly where you want it.
