Dragging a clip to the timeline, auto lining up.

PostThu Aug 02, 2018 1:40 pm

I must have switch a setting on/off on accident. Before when I took a portion of a clip and dragged it to the timeline, Davinci Resolve would automatically have it line right up to where another clip started or ended(as long as I dragged it somewhere close to the ending point). Not it does not do that, so I have to purposely leave empty space on the timeline, then delete that empty space so that the 2 clips literally touch each other.

Any ideas?
