Video layers no longer snap in program monitor

Issue: In Premiere 2025, I’m able to drag and move a clip in the Program Monitor, hold CTRL (or turn on snapping) and it will snap to the edge of another clip. This was very handy for aligning clips without manually entering values. In Premiere 26.2.2, clips only snap to guides or the edge of the frame.

Steps to Reproduce: Open Premiere 2026 and add two clips to a sequence on different layers. Double click one clip in the program monitor, hold CTRL and drag to the other.

Expected result: It should snap to the edge of the clip.

Actual result: It doesn’t.

      It looks like the feature is broken in 26.2.2 and in beta 26.5

      Might want to use the blue guides for the time being.

        Thanks for checking, Ann - I only added CTRL in instructions as that was the way I did it, rather than leaving the Snap in Program Monitor button toggled on.

         

        Blue guides do help for the time being, although I often have different scaled clips which don’t always conform to the same guides.

        I edited my post as I did not know you could use ctlr with snap off.

         

        I  posted a bugreport in the beta forum
