Hey all, quick question...

I'm working on timing up media with a video I have (and this is a big portion of my job, so I'm kind of putting Reaper through the paces), and I'd like to know if there's a way that when I've selected a media clip (or multiple) that the frame-by-frame preview of the video I'm using could match where the media clip starts, rather than where my mouse cursor is.

Due to the fade control being active when you bring your cursor to the beginning or end of any piece of media, I can't really line my cursor up with the beginning. Therefore, I click and hold the media somewhere in the middle of any given clip, and the video follows the cursor. How can I get it to follow the start of the media I'm moving?
