addressed Removing snapping in VideoPad

[Rowland]

Is it possible to stop what seems to be automatic snapping when moving clips within the timeline (although I can't see what it's snapping to).  I have read on this forum that pressing the Alt key as you drag the clip within the timeline achieves this, but it didn't seem to work for me.  I need to position clips quite precisely (I guess we all do), especially for cross fades, etc., but getting clips exactly where they need to be appears difficult.  Any suggestions, please?

In releases that snap back when clips are dragged to the right, holding down <alt> should override that behavior.
If Videopad is reinstalled (no need to re-download) the snapping may cease.  Sometimes it takes several tries.

To add clips at precise split points use these buttons to position the cursor at the split point.

Then right-click on the to-be-added clip in the bin and Place On Sequence at Cursor.

For better visibility expand the timeline, using the slider at the bottom-right of the window.

Thank you, Borate.
