Canvas snapping and direct manipulation

Preview can be used as an editing surface for visual clip placement, not just a passive monitor.

Canvas snap modes

The Preview snap button cycles through:

• Off
• Grid
• Edges
• Both

Grid mode displays a 20-division guide overlay. Edge snapping adds active guides when a visual clip approaches supported canvas alignment targets.

Defaults

Settings > Editing stores the default canvas snap mode.

Quality and snapping

Snapping works in project/canvas coordinates. Lower preview render quality changes rasterization cost but does not intentionally change saved clip placement.
