Prevent changes with Track Lock

Locking an entire track is useful for preventing changes to any clips on that track while you work on other parts of the sequence. In a Timeline
panel, a pattern of slashes appears over a locked track. Although clips in a locked track cannot be modified in any way, they are included when
you preview or export the sequence. If you want to lock both a video track and a track with corresponding audio, lock each track separately. When
you lock a target track, it is no longer the target; source clips cannot be added to the track until you unlock it and target it again.

You can lock a track to prevent it from shifting when you perform insert edits.

Click in the Toggle Track Lock box to display the Lock icon next to the track name.

Exclude tracks in a sequence

You can exclude video or audio clips in any track from previews and export. Clips in excluded video tracks appear as black video in the Program
Monitor and in output files. Clips in excluded audio tracks are not output to the Audio Mixer, to the speakers, or to output files.

Excluding a track with the Eye icon does not exclude it from outputs. If excluded tracks hold clips that run before or after clips on non-

excluded tracks, black video will appear before or after the last clips in the non-excluded tracks. To trim this ending black video from the output
files, set the In point and Out point as desired in the Export Settings dialog box.

Click to hide the Eye icon

(for video) or the Speaker icon (for audio) at the left edge of the track. (Each icon is a toggle switch. Click its

box again to display the icon and include the track.)

To exclude all video or all audio tracks, Shift-click to hide the Eye icon

(for video) or the Speaker icon (for audio). This excludes

all tracks of the same type. (Each icon is a toggle switch. Shift-click its box again to display all the icons and include the tracks.)

Set track display

You can customize the tracks in a Timeline panel in several ways. You can expand or collapse tracks to display or hide track controls. Choosing
from several display options, you can control how video and audio clips appear on a track. In addition, you can change the size of the header area
or move the boundary between the video and audio tracks to display more tracks of either type.

Expand and resize a track

You can expand a track to display track controls. Increase the height of a track to better see icons and keyframes or to display larger views of
video track thumbnails and audio track waveforms.

1. To expand or collapse a track, click the triangle to the left of the track name.
