    Is there a way to lock only part of your sequence in the timeline? I would like to be able to add new scenes to a sequence and not have the chance of accidentally messing up what I already have on there. Thanks

    You can’t lock a part of a sequence, only whole tracks.

    You can edit scene by scene in separate timelines, then add all the scenes to a master timeline in nests. Make sense?

    I have two methods for doing this:
    1) Go vertical. If you’re working with 4 video tracks, and 4 audio tracks… lock those 8 tracks, and create your new work on video and audio tracks 5 and up.

    2) Duplicate. Make a duplicate of your timeline, and work from the duplicate. If something goes amiss, you can copy and paste from the original TL.

    I use both methods all the time. I’ll get a project to an acceptable point of completion, but want to experiment with something. If the experiment turns out to be an improvement, great. If not, I’m no worse off.

    Good luck.
