What does edit lock mean?
Edit lock is a feature that prevents any further changes to a video project or timeline. Once an edit lock is applied, the sequence is "locked," meaning that no cuts, edits, or rearrangements can be made. It's used when the structural editing phase is complete and the project is ready for later stages, like color grading, sound mixing, or final review.
How do I lock a file for editing?
In video editing software, look for an edit lock or lock track option, which usually appears as a padlock icon next to your timeline or layer.
How do I remove editor lock?
To remove the editor lock, simply click on the lock icon again next to the track in your timeline. This will unlock the track, allowing you to make edits or adjustments as needed.
What is the “restrict editing” option used for?
The restrict editing option is used to protect finalized tracks or segments, ensuring they aren’t accidentally altered during the editing process. It helps maintain structure, especially in collaborative projects, by preventing unintentional changes to locked sequences or assets.
