How to turn off magnetic timeline in FCP

changing to select or pressing A still doesn't give me that magnetic effect where you see the yellow line. why am i not seeing this?

Thank you so much!!!

right to the point, thank you!

Thank you!!!!

Hi, how do you disable audio sticking to a clip from above?

This is one of the biggest reasons I hate FCP X...No other editing program including the still superior (and simpler to use) FCP 7 does this or creates those annoying grey slugs every time you move clips around in the timeline. Ridiculous

what would be the equivalent (or workaround ) in premiere if I wanted to do the 'track forward' tool? for example, I wanted to move all the clips in the primary storyline downstream WITHOUT all the connected clips coming with it?

Proper terminology in the business .... the black gap is called a "slug" . Good video

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Awesome. Thank you so much for explaining this quickly.

quick, helpful. thank you

Thank you, this has been driving me mad!

How do I collapse the compound clips after opening them

Thank you David!!

thanks its works

The timeline in FCPX is absolute trash. I wish it had a traditional timeline like Premiere or Avid Media Composer.

EASY! THANKS A LOT!

This is amazing - I've finally found this information, thanks!

Crap something so simple but I DID NOT KNOW THIS!!! Thanks.

IT DIDNT WORK
WTF
MAGNET TURNED OFF AND STILL SNAPPED

But what if the keyboard doesn't have fn? Mine doesn't. (Mac keyboard).

You rock man. This is the best and most concise tutorial regarding the magnetic timeline.

Actually did it in the reverse. Couldn't figure out why it wasn't magnetic any more. Thanks David.

Thanks, so useful and straight to the point.

bra att du håller på

Amazing!

Thank You! :)

Thanks for sharing it was so helpful for me .

Many thanks for the tip! I've just started learning how to use Final Cut Pro.

thank you david!

That's pretty cool.. but fcpx doesn't have track forward tool. So if i want to 'take further' the multiple clips (lined one after another) then how to do it with using any shortcut ? FCP 7 had T, TT, TTT, TTTT, TTTTT to do that.. what you have shown is just a single clip is there at the end before which you are creating a 'slug'.

Very helpful! Thank you

Thanks. Quick and easy to understand and very helpful.👍🏽

Thank you!

Nice job explaining!! It took me a few moments to find the fn key. YOU ROCK BRO!!

thanks man... sounds easy... Nicely done!

Thank you!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! I have been searching the web all night to figure out how to keep the clips from snapping downward, YOU ARE AWESOME!!!

it's is more adding a pause in the place you remove the clip and later you will have again to justify the rest

many thanks!! this really help people a lot!!

What's the fn key
