Can't get cursor to snap to beats, how do I do this?

I'm trying to edit a video to a song, but the cursor and clips won't snap to the beat it's always off.
I can't find any setting related to how the timeline snaps other than the ruler settings which don't do anything.

Is there a way to fix this?

It was the quantize to frames option breaking it.

Remember QUANTIZE to FRAMES must be enabled when editing video. There is NEVER A reason to turn it off. If you do, you will get weird flash and black frames. Video has to be edited on the frame line.

Dang I thought I was smart.
So I essentially need to add more frames to account for the missing snap points, huh?

At most you are less than 1/30 of a second off in a beat. That usually is not a concern.
