Snap to markers, rulers, frames, and zero crossings
Snapping causes selection boundaries, as well as the current-time indicator, to move to items such as markers, ruler
ticks, zero-crossing points, and frames. Enabling snapping helps you make accurate selections; however, if you prefer,
you can disable snapping for specific items.
1 To enable snapping for selected items, click the Toggle Snapping icon at the top of the Editor panel.
2
To specify items to snap to, choose Edit > Snapping, and select any of the following:
Snap To Markers
Snaps to a marker point. For information on defining markers, see “ Working with markers ” on
page 45.
Snap To Ruler (Coarse)
Snaps only to the major numeric divisions (such as minutes and seconds) in the timeline.
Note:
You can enable only one Snap To Ruler command at a time.
Snap To Ruler (Fine)
Snaps to subdivisions (such as milliseconds) in the timeline. Zoom in (right-click and drag across
the timeline) to display more accurate subdivisions and place the cursor more precisely.
Snap To Zero Crossings
Snaps to the nearest place where audio crosses the center line (the zero amplitude point).
Snap To Frames
Snaps to a frame boundary if the time format is measured in frames (such as Compact Disc and
SMPTE).
You can access snapping commands by right-clicking the timeline.
