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.
Note: You cannot set a snap offset for a Groove clip.
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. Right-click on the clip and select Clip Properties from the menu that appears.
2. In the Snap Offset field enter 0 (zero) and click OK.
Creating and Using Markers
Markers are a way of associating a name with a time point in your project. You use
markers to name sections of a project, to mark hit points in a film score, or simply
to provide a shortcut for working with any time point in a project. Markers make it
easy to:
• Jump to a specific time point in a project
• Select a portion of a project
• Enter a time in any dialog box, by pressing F5 and choosing the marker you
want
You can see and work with markers in four ways:
• They are displayed in the Time Ruler at the top of the Track, Staff, and Piano
Roll view.
• The Markers toolbar lets you add markers and jump to specific marker
locations.
• The Markers view displays all markers and lets you add, edit, and delete
markers.
• You can press F11 while playback is in progress to add a marker on the fly.
