Disconnected Source controls remain disconnected even when you open a new clip in
the Viewer. This is true even if the clip has a different number of video and audio clip
items than the previously opened clip.
To disconnect Source and Destination controls in the Timeline, do one of
the following:
m Click the Source or Destination control to break the track assignment.
m Press Shift-F6 to deselect the current video destination track.
m Press Shift-F7 to deselect the current audio channel 1 destination track.
m Press Shift-F8 to deselect the current audio channel 2 destination track.
Note: You can also lock any track you don’t want source clip items edited into by
clicking that track’s Lock Track control, located in the track header. If a track is locked, it
is ignored as a destination track. (For more information see “
Locking Tracks to Prevent
Edits or Changes ” on page 314.)
