Hey guys
Im making a video & it involves a lot of keyframing, moving clips etc etc.
Firstly, are there any guidelines that i can place on my canvas to make it quicker & easier to line up multiple clips? Like you can in photoshop?
Also is there a key i can hold when moving clips around in my canvas that will stop it from moving up or down, or left / right depending on what i want, so its locked in place? For example, if i get 2 clips lined up perfectly & then decide i wanna move it a bit to the left, its so painfully time consuming having to do it veeeery slowly so that the clip doesnt move up or down at all, if you get what i mean? I havent exactly got a steady hand either so this is particularly annoying when trying to work quickly & smoothly.
I do alot of stuff with moving screens & i always like to keep a little black line separating the clips whenever they move etc, like this:

I personally think it looks cool but it is so so so time-consuming trying to get the gaps (black lines) to stay the same size as clips move around the screen. Any advice on doing this quicker would be great too cause i currently spend hours tweaking little dots in the crop section of my viewer & its driving me mental.
Thanks!
