Locking Clips

You can lock a clip so that it can’t be altered in any way. This is useful when you have a clip placed or configured exactly the way you want and do not want to alter them. Figure 31 depicts a clip which is locked—it displays dimmed and cannot be modified or moved.

To lock a clip, select it and use one of these methods:

•	Select Edit > Lock Clip.

•	Click the gear icon on the clip and select Show Clip Inspector, then check Locked or select Lock Clip (Option-Command-L).
