Snap to items in the timeline in Final Cut Pro for iPad
When snapping is turned on, items you move in the timeline appear to jump, or “snap,” directly to certain points. This can help you quickly line up edits with other items in the timeline. For example, snapping makes it easier and quicker to align a video clip with an audio clip, position the playhead at a particular edit point, or connect a clip at the exact start of a clip underneath.
Several elements trigger snapping in the timeline:
Clip boundaries (start and end points)
The playhead
Turn on snapping
