Magnetic Timeline on Mac
Wondershare Filmora's Magnetic Timeline is a game-changer for video editing, providing a streamlined way to ensure your clips align perfectly. As you drag and drop clips onto the timeline, they automatically snap to adjacent clips, maintaining a seamless and organized project.
This guide will walk you through how to make the most of the Magnetic Timeline feature on your Mac, enhancing your editing efficiency and precision.
Upload Your Videos
- Import the video clips you want to edit and drag and drop them onto the timeline.

- Click on the corresponding icon to open the Magnetic Timeline.

Note:What if there are already video clips on the timeline?
In this case, if you still need to add video clips, the track will automatically move when you insert the video at a different location.
In the following figure, when you insert before existing video clips, current video clips and subsequence clips move backward.
Drag Within Different Tracks
You can drag and drop videos from your main track to other tracks as you like, and the videos in the main track will be automatically attached to the right place without any gap.
Note: During the actual editing process, auxiliary lines will be present to help you better perceive and manage your edits.

Function Introduction
- Trim
- Copy/Paste
- Delete
- Speed
You can either single-select a particular video track for editing, or you can select multiple tracks for editing at the same time, and the latter will increase or decrease in synchronization, depending on the amount of trim.
1. If the video clip to be copied is from the main track, subsequent clips (if any) are moved backward at an even speed for pasting the new video clip.

2. If a video clip to be copied is not from the main track, the new clip is pasted above the selected clip.

When deleting, one thing to keep in mind is that videos attached to other video clips will be deleted along with them.
Other than the above, Magnetic Timeline can improve the efficiency of your video editing in many other ways: adding transitions, applying templates, placing SRTs, and so on.
Conclusion
Filmora's Magnetic Timeline targets beginner editors and is designed to improve the efficiency of high-frequency editing functions through automatic attachment of track clips and linking of sub-track clips.
