344 Arranging and editing
Arranging clips
• Clip Lock > Lock Data. In lock mode, this choice locks data only, and causes a blue lock
icon with the clasp unlocked to appear on the clip. If position is already locked, then both
position and data become locked, and a “locked” lock icon appears on the clip. In unlock
mode, if both position and data are locked, and you unlock data, then the yellow “unlocked”
lock icon appears on the clip, meaning that only position is locked.
Auto scroll lock in Clips pane
While editing, you can prevent the Clips pane from scrolling horizontally during playback. This allows
you to focus on the edit location without worrying that the screen will eventually scroll away from the
edit location.
When the Left Click Locks Scroll option is enabled (default behavior), the Clips pane will not scroll
if you click any object in the Clips pane. When you are done with the edit and want the Clips pane to
scroll again during playback, click in the background of the Clips pane to clear auto scroll lock.
To enable/disable auto scroll lock
Click the Track view Options menu, point to Click Behavior and choose Left Click Locks Scroll
on the submenu.
Note: If a clip’s position is locked, and you change tempo, what happens to the clip’s position
depends on what option the Clip Properties Time Base field is set to: Musical (M:B:T), or
Absolute (SMPTE). If the clip is set to the Musical time base, the clip’s M:B:T position stays
constant, and its Absolute position shifts. If the clip is set to the Absolute time base, its Absolute
position does not move, but its M:B:T position shifts.
