Previously I extensively used Pinnacle Liquid Edition to edit countless documentaries, often requiring to align a marker placed in a clip to a marker on the timeline. This was accomplished by grabbing the clip marker and, with it, sliding the clip along its track until it snapped to the marker I had placed on the timeline.  

Yes, this would be a useful addition, along with the ability for snapping to work on the ends of clips as well the begining. I guess it might need to be made optional - either in the control panle or with a modifier key (if there are any left!)

+1 for adding the ability to be able to snap clip markers to each other. I can see the usefulness of being able to snap the ends of clips to markers too (though haven't needed that here (yet ) IMO snapping clip markers to each other would be handy for syncing tracks such as video and separately-recorded audio as an alternative to the multicam editor:

Suggestion: Use the existing "magnetic snapping" tool button and its keyboard shortcut (P)

• The tool button could include a downward-pointing arrow and when clicked would drop doen an icon list of "off", "normal" and "enhanced" (the icon for "enhanced" could perhaps be a smaller horseshoe magnet with a lightning bolt coming out of the end)?
• The P key could step through the modes "off / "normal" / "enhanced" instead of being just an on/off toggle

Thanks for endorsing my request, Jeff, and I am greatly enjoying “24 Revealed”! 

No problem John and thanks for mentioning the book :-)

TBH it was to your book that I looked first regarding this important feature! (I then found your entry on IMDb to compare with my own page there!)

I have another Feature Request (that I used often in Liquid Edition) but will make that a separate entry.

John - I think you link is broken? https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0354944/

Negative, Jeff, it works for me on all devices!

Suggest you flush your browser cache if you have visited IMDb recently - or look for me under “Sound Department - Around the World in 80 Days with Michael Palin” (one of the many programmes I worked on in the BBC!).

PS: Have just placed a comment on your Studio blog website under History (of Studio). 

Like Jeff, I get an error message with Firefox clicking your link.

Very strange! I can assure you the link is fine.  I have checked it in Safari on both my iPhone and iPad and, as you mention Firefox, I’ve checked it OK in Firefox on my iPad too! 

Same error with Chrome.

 I wonder how a web site URL could start with uk ?

Works for me with and without the “uk” in Safari. 

The https version works for me but not the http version

Thanks, Mark, but that’s weird as the “s” version doesn’t work for me - Safari comes up with an error! 

Browsers are so fussy these days!

I also think this would be a useful addition - I video musical theatre shows and am often having to synchronise audio/lip sync between clips.  I have to do it by trimming to the clip marker, aligning with snap and then re-expanding the clip once in place.  Aligning of clip markers by snapping would make the process so much quicker.

Mark - Thank you for your endorsement re Aligning Clip/Timeline Markers.  We had it in Liquid and I found it invaluable - it has the precision I like.

I have now adjusted the IMDb URL and it should now work, folks!!  I have checked it in Firefox, this time on my W10 computer - strange that Safari was more tolerant when I tried before!

Yes, it's ok now.
