Lock audio clips

Post by friendlygiraffe » Tue Jun 09, 2015 3:16 pm

Hi,

Is it possible cut or paste a segment of audio onto a track without shifting the already existing clips in front of it?

I'd like to lock them at their current time position

Hope that makes sense

Thanks

Yes, providing the audio section you want to lock is in one or more of its own clips. Uncheck Editing a clip can move other clips in Tracks Preferences.
