Tell me htere is a a KEY I cna hold to turn off Snap to grid.Posted by Geno Andrews
In Photoshop you can hold down the CONTROL KEY to temporarily turn OFF snap to grid. It's so obnoxious to have to press N to turn off snap, then press N again to turn it on. Then work a while and not remember if N is on or off.
Surely someone knows the secret SECRET way to hold down a key to turn off snap just while you align a clip, then when you release the key the snap is back on. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Call on God, but row away from the rocks. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
I'm not sure whether it's a super secret or not but you can temporarily turn on/off snapping simply by holding the N key down whilst you move the clip(s). When you release the N key, snapping will return to the state it was before you pressed the key.

This seems to have got broken in v5 but in v4.5 this is how it worked:
With snapping disabled, select a clip on the timeline Start dragging it Now hold down the N key and snapping will be enabled Move the clip as desired Release the N key Release the mouse button In v5 the snapping flickers on and off when you release the mouse button and it is indeed a lottery ;-) Martin Baker www.digital-heaven.co.uk Unique plug-ins and tools for Apple Pro Apps Martin Baker [www.digital-heaven.co.uk] Unique plug-ins and tools for Apple Pro Apps
Holding down the N key toggles between snap and snap off. You can see the icon flahsing in the upper right hand corner of the timeline. I've tested this enough now to know that there is NO TEMP key to turn On or Off snap for single move. If it works it's only because you happen to let go of the N key during the toggle position that would make it appear as a TEMP key.
I'd love to see a TEMP key stroke for this in the future. Geno Call on God, but row away from the rocks. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Jude,
Most people hold down the N key WITHOUT having a clip grabbed to test this. Whithout a clip currently GRABBED in the timeline, holding the N key just toggles between snap on and off and loops. But YOU'RE RIGHT. If you GRAB the clip, THEN HOLD DOWN THE N KEY you immediately FLIP the position of the N Key's current state (from snap to to snap off or visa versa) then you can move the clip while holding down the N and release the N which will flip the State back to position one. Thank you. Call on God, but row away from the rocks. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
I always have toggled the N key rather than hold it down. My finger hovers over the N key much of the time as I edit and I guess I am just used to doing it the way it's always functioned.
