You can perform only one patch per edit, but there is no limit on the
number of times you can patch from the same source track. Audio can
patch only to audio, and video only to video.
• To perform a patch, drag from a source track (audio or video) to
the targeted record track (a white arrow appears during the
patch).
• To undo a patch, click in the Record monitor, or Timeline. Choose
the Restore Default Patch command from the Special menu, or
manually repatch to the previous track.
The selected source track moves beside the record track to which it is
patched as soon as you draw the arrow and release the mouse. The
patched track remains highlighted in preparation for your edit. You
can proceed to select any other tracks required for the edit.
After you make the edit, you can continue to work on the same track
or patch to a different track as necessary.

When patching from one video track to another, the Video Track
Monitor icon moves to the track you patch to. Be sure to return to
monitoring the topmost track, when necessary, to play back and out-
put all video tracks.

The system provides two ways of locking tracks:
• You can lock selected tracks to prevent further editing from being
performed on them.
