Understanding Locking and Sync Locking
Your Avid editing application provides two ways of locking tracks, locking tracks and sync
locking tracks. You can sync lock selected tracks so that trimming one track also trims the other
tracks. Sync locking is useful when you work with multiple tracks and want to maintain sync
between two or more tracks.
Locking tracks prevents further editing from being performed on them and can help in the
following workflows:
• For video or picture editing, you can lock tracks when you have completed a set of complex,
multilayer edits and want to avoid making accidental changes while you work on adjacent
tracks.
• For audio editing, you can lock audio tracks containing sync dialog that should be
maintained while you edit adjacent video tracks or audio tracks.
• For projects involving multiple editors, you can lock tracks to prevent unnecessary or
accidental changes.

Lock” on page 572.
The Sync Lock and Lock buttons of the Track Selector panel display different icons for
sync-locked and locked tracks. For more information on applying the locks, see “Locking and
Sync Locking Tracks” on page 673.
