Stop Snapping to end of Cross Dissolve

Hey,

When I'm dragging a clip around the timeline, it will snap to the beginning/end of a cross dissolve rather than to the beginning/end of a clip.

Does anyone know how to stop the clip snapping to the cross dissolve? I don't know why anyone would want this, and when my timeline is zoomed out, I often can't tell this has happened.

Small thing, but would save me a lot of time, and add more of a sense of safety that everything is lined up nicely.

(latest versions of Mac OS and Premiere)

Thanks!

I think you'll need to make a feature request:

Feature request? Hmm. It’s not a “feature.” The feature is that it snaps to the end of the effect. We want to have this feature removed. 2026 and it’s still there, slowing down work. I can really understand why more and more people are moving to Da Vinci. It gets harder and harder to justify using Premiere.

a clip will snap to the end of a transition instead of the clip (this has been as long as I can remember). If you want to see this behavior changed you will have to file a feature request.

Reading the thread, people have been asking for this simple thing for years, a simple option to save time. We pay subscriptions and get bloatware stuffed with features no-one asked and no-one wanted.

Please don’t bother to reply. You can’t help me.

Of course not. They’re too busy stuffing it with useless bloatware and other AI.

I completely agree with you, would love this feature. My adjustment layers are often off by a few frames because they cut to the cross dissolve rather than the clip ends. It would make sense to allow your snaps to only apply to certain tracks, and ignore audio tracks for example.
