  • simplest way to lock a track?

    Posted by Gilles Gagnon on April 14, 2010 at 4:49 pm

    HI all,
    what is the simplest way to lock an entire track? (in this case, an audio track)

    I’m surprised that vegas does not have a “lock” icon on a track.

    Do I really have to select all the events of the track and “rt-click/switches/lock”?

    THanks,

    “I’m surprised that vegas does not have a “lock” icon on a track.”

    Sounds like a great idea for a product suggestion to me!!

    “Do I really have to select all the events of the track and “rt-click/switches/lock”?”

    No you don’t.
    Click the first event, right-click and choose “Select events to end” and then “right-click – Switches – Lock”.

    Thanks Mike,

    a bit of a shortcut but am kind of disappointed that it’s still not simpler. It’s times like these that I question my having chosen Vegas over FCP.

    Oh well, Vegas can’t be perfect I guess.

    Thanks again,
    Gilles

    Wait until you use it for a while, you may start saying, “now that would have been really hard to do in FCP” the help file can be very useful. I’ve read it several times over the years a little at a time, along with reading this forum and I couldn’t imagine using anything else for an NLE. Danny Hays

    It is all according to what you are used to and what works for you. There are good things on both sides of the fence.
