Snap To Grid
The Pro Tools Snap To Grid feature lets you make grid-based selections
while working in Shuffle, Slip, or Spot mode. With Snap To Grid enabled,
placing the Edit cursor and making Edit selections is constrained by the Grid,
but any clip editing you perform is based on the other selected Edit mode.
For example, in Shuffle mode with Snap To Grid enabled, any selections you
make on audio clips will snap to Grid boundaries; however, if you cut a
selection of audio, any clips to the right of the edit will shuffle to the left as
normal in Shuffle mode.
To enable Snap To Grid, do the following:
1. Activate the Edit mode you wish to work in (Shuffle, Slip, or Spot).
2. Shift-click on the GRID mode button or press SHIFT+F4.
