Locking and unlocking clips

Locking clips in the Timeline is useful for preventing changes to them--particularly accidental changes. Locked clips continue to be displayed in the Monitor Program view and will appear in video files you export. They appear in the Timeline with a hatch pattern of slashes. If you want to lock all clips on the same track, lock the entire track instead; see Locking and unlocking tracks.

To lock or unlock a clip:

Select one or more clips in the Timeline and choose Clip > Lock Clip on Timeline. A check mark next to the command indicates that the selected clips are locked.
