Final Cut Pro – Locking Tracks
Have you ever wanted to lock a track to prevent accidental changes?
Locking Tracks
Final Cut Pro has little padlock icons you can use to lock tracks to prevent accidental changes.
These are not for security – there are no passwords. Rather these are to prevent the “Oh-my-GOSH, I-can’t-believe-I-just-deleted-that!! My-life-is-over!” panic.
To lock a track, simply click the padlock icon. To unlock a track, click it again.
For the keyboard-obsessed:
- F4 + [a number] — locks, or unlocks, that video track
- F5 + [a number] — locks, or unlocks, that audio track
- Shift + F4 — locks, or unlocks, ALL video tracks
- Shift + F5 — locks, or unlocks, ALL audio tracks
