5.16.4.4 Locking Timecode Fields
Timeco­de Field Lo­cks Timecode values may be locked in the Length (in the Active Mix box) and
the Offset fields (used with Spread Source Mix and Merge Mix). This allows
the values in the locked field(s), which might otherwise change, to remain
constant when the values in other fields are changed. Locking the Length
or Offset field is accomplished by checking the Lock box to the right of the
field.
Lo­cking the Length Field Locking the Length field is useful when the duration of an Edit Region needs
to maintain its total time, but the In or Out Times must change. Changes made
to the In Time will create corresponding changes to the Out Time and vice
versa, while the Length field remains the same. Changes made to the Length
field will change the Out Time field.
It is important to note that the Length
field’s value may be edited even when it’s locked .
Lo­cking the Offset Field Locking the Offset field is useful when it is desired to maintain a constant
difference In Time (offset) between the In Time of the Active Mix and the In
Time of a Spread Source Mix or Merge Mix. This allows fields (other than
Offset), including In Time, to be changed while preserving the offset value
between the mixes.
When the Offset field is locked by itself, it is possible to change its value by
± one increment only. If the entire entry field is highlighted, its value can be
c or – by only a single frame only. If only the seconds portion of
the entry field is highlighted, the value can only be changed by ± one second
only, and so on.
