is this possible or is it a cool feature to have?
One thing that FCP does that causes me to cuss a lot is the snap feature; its off when I want it on and on when I want it off… maybe its just me but when it is really a pain is when I scrub the timeline. With snap ON it obviously ‘snaps’ along rather than slide fluently along.
So I think it would be nice to use the ‘option key’ while scrubbing the timeline to override snapping. Is this already possible? If not it would be a cool feature, at least for me….baz
What would I do without the ‘UNDO’ button!!!!

why not toggle it on and off with the keyboard?? FCP already has it built in.

Well thats what I have to do now but it would be so much easier to single key DISABLE ala command key hold down while scrubbing

i’m confused…. you can with one key (cannot remember which letter .. above the space bar) toggle on and off the snap function. no mouse, no button bar needed. isn’t that what you want to do?

the ‘n’n key is a toggle – I want an absolute ‘off’ no matter what. Just like the option key will immediately select a node without having to go find the button

With nothing selected ‘n’ will simply toggle between turning snapping on and off.
Do this – leave snapping toggled to “off”. When you want snapping “on”, select a clip and start to drag it, hit ‘n’ while you are dragging. Snapping will toggle ‘on’ and then when you drop the clip snapping will toggle back to ‘off’ . That way you can leave snapping off all the time and only toggle it on when you want to. Just remember to start dragging and then hit ‘n’ when you want snapping on.
I had trouble with this in the beginning until I realized exactly what was happening.

I second this method. It works like a champ!

CHeck out the Belkin Nostromo SpeedPad. You can have it do whatever you want. You can assign a key so that when you hold it down it “pushes N in FCP” and pushes it again when you release that key.
