Description zcxvcb2@gmail.com 2024-02-08 15:30:32 UTC 
In my workflow, I often cut strips into pieces, to give them different transforming, effects or Subtitle content.
And often times, I'll need strips on different tracks to sync on the slice, and the non-snappable Razor tool makes it a multiple steps tasks.
I'll have to zooming the timeline really hard to make the frame perfect cut, or drag the strip multiple time to trigger auto snap afterwards.
This really adds up A LOT throughout a project. I just need it to cut right the first click.

Basically, right now the Razor tool cut EXACTLY where your mouse lands,
and I really want it to auto snap onto cursor, other track's strips' beginning and end.
Bonus point for option on what can trigger auto snap(cursor, strip start, strip end, effects etc), slider for the range (pixels or frames for measuring) of snapping taking place.
This would save me TREMENDOUS time, I'd be extremely appreciating. Thanks ahead.

For more accurate cutting you can use the shift + r option that cuts exactly where the cursor is at.

That makes the cursor snaps onto my mouse. What I need is the cut SNAPS onto the cursor, not the other way around.

Oh wait that was just shift in razor mode, if I shift in cursor mode it won't snap, so shift+r indeed do what I need, combined with alt+arrow it's not as many input as I currently do indeed...
Pretty bad UX, but should be good enough for now. I still hope for regular snap though.
