Q

Tip How to temporarily switch from different modes

A

For ex. If I’m working in grid mode I can hold the command key on my keyboard allows me to temporarily suspend the grid. Acting as if I was editing in slip mode.

Same in reverse to slip mode hold the command key down and move a clip and it will snap to the grid

I can get the best out of slip and grid mode all by just holding down one key command.
