When we move an item on the timeline, Camtasia Studio has a snapping feature that forces the item to line up at a reference point. If a vertical yellow line appears on the timeline, we know that Camtasia Studio is snapping our edit to the nearest possible reference point.
The reference points are determined by the following four items in our timeline:
The edges of other clips in the timeline
The playhead that indicates the current position on the timeline
Any markers we have created
Any quizzes we have created
Snapping is designed to help you make more consistent edits so that the content is aligned. When getting to know Camtasia Studio, snapping is very useful. It makes neat edits effortless.
As our skills become more refined, and our edits more ambitious, snapping may be less desirable. It could prevent us from making fine adjustments to the content on the timeline, and it could introduce unwanted gaps between clips, transitions, or animations.
