Locking a Basic Sequence (Interplay | MAM)
If you are editing an Interplay MAM sequence, the sequence is locked to prevent other users
from editing the sequence at the same time. The lock is automatically set when you begin editing
the sequence. You can manually set a lock before beginning editing by clicking the Lock button.
If another user opens the sequence while it is locked, and clicks the Lock button or tries to edit
the sequence, the tool tip for the Lock button reads “Lock could not be acquired.”
To manually lock a sequence:
t Click the Lock button.
When the sequence is locked, the Lock button turns orange.
The sequence remains locked until you close it. You can manually unlock the sequence by
clicking the Lock button. If you make an edit, the lock is automatically set again.
Performing an Insert Edit in a Basic Sequence
The timeline for a basic sequence has two tracks: video (V) and audio (A). A basic sequence uses
green for video and audio, as shown in the following illustration.
