Snapping Argghhhh
Greetings,
Hope I’m not being redundant here but searches didn’t turn up an answer for this one. I am running FCP 7 and after having updated from 5 it seems that the snapping function has been changed. I used to be able to toggle snapping on and off and it would stay in the desired mode until I toggled the other way. Now with FCP 7 it seems that if toggled off it returns to the default on position after making any kind of edit. I would love to be able to turn it off and leave it off until I need it. Am I missing something simple here???
Thanks!

Hmmmm…. works for me on 7. Have you tried trashing prefs? Did you say you did an upgrade or clean install? If upgrade, that could be your problem.

I work on FCP6, and I noticed if you toggle snapping WHILE dragging a clip, it will toggle back to its original status once you drop the clip.
So to keep snapping on or off, make sure you are not in the middle of dragging a clip when you toggle it.
This has been consistent for me at home and at work, so I don’t think I’m experience a big myself.

if you do not have a clip selected and active “n” will toggle it on and off and it stays. IF you are moving a clip and hit “n” it will change back once you let the clip go.
Once you get use to it it is a nice way to do it. I like it better but it did take some getting use to.

That must be it. I often reach up for the n key in the midst of an edit. Makes sense.
Thanks for the response.
