Unlocking a locked clip
There are three ways to unlock a locked clip:
• Click on the clip, and click “Yes” when asked whether you want to remove the lock.
• Uncheck the checkbox in the Lock column in the Clips view (see “The columns”
on page 439).
• Deactivate the Lock item on the clip speed menu.
• To lock or unlock several clips in one go, select the clips and select
“Lock/Unlock all selected clips” from the Edit view : Select menu.
To be able to select locked clips, you need to use a selection rectangle (by pressing [Ctrl]
and [Shift] and dragging with the mouse).
Using cue points
A cue point is a defined position marker that belongs to a clip. It may be
positioned within or outside the clip. Cue points are displayed as dotted
vertical lines.
A cue point
When you move a clip, its cue point will be magnetic to any edges, mark-
ers or positions activated on the Magnetic bounds menu (see “Magnetic
bounds” on page 409). There are several uses for this:
• Set the cue point at a “relevant” position in the audio and use it to align the clip
with other clips, etc.
• Set the cue point before the start of a clip, allowing you to position clips in a row
with pre-defined spaces (by magnetizing the cue point to the end of the previous
clip).
• Set the cue point at the fade-in or fade-out point of a clip, making it easy to maintain
defined fade lengths when crossfading (see “Using crossfades” on page 462).
