Cutting out the end of a clip with the selection tool by snapping it to the playhead gets rid of the currently visible frame on the project monitor, but doing the same thing at the start of the clip keeps the frame. Is it possible to make the snapping automatically keep that frame in either case?
So basically what I’m looking for is an option to have the start of the clip snap where the playhead frame starts and the end of the clip snap where the frame ends when doing a resize with my cursor. This is already what happens when there’s only a single frame in a clip so it also seems more consistent to always maintain that behaviour.
Example: I want to resize a clip that has 3 frames, red, green and blue. If the playhead is on green and I snap the start of the clip to it, only red is removed. If the playhead is on green but I snap the end of the clip to it instead, both blue and green are removed. I would want green to always be kept in order to make frame-perfect transitions more intuitive.
I am aware of the possibility of using the clip duration dialogue, but this is much, much slower than just dragging the cursor arround. Currently I am just putting the playhead on the frame after the last one I want to keep and cutting there, but this is not ideal as whenever I forget to do it that way I end up removing frames I want to keep.
