Locking a Clip or Sequence

Locking a Clip or Sequence

The second thing I do before trimming a sequence is lock it. Locking a sequence allows you to continue to make changes but prevents the clip from being deleted. To lock a sequence or any clips in your bin, select the clips by clicking on their icons. Shift-click (Macintosh OS) or Ctrl-click (Windows) to select multiple clips or sequences. Choose Lock Bin Selection from the Clip menu. You'll notice that there are no indicators displaying which items are locked. To find out which items are locked, choose the bin's Fast Menu and choose Headings. Choose Lock. A new column will appear indicating which clips are locked (see Figure 4.2).

Figure 4.2. Clips that are locked have their own icon in the Lock column.

To unlock a clip or sequence, select the item and choose Unlock Bin Selection from the Clip menu. Again, a locked item can be changed but if you try to delete it, a warning will appear. Locking clips is also a good practice if you're sharing clips from project to project.
