5.16.4.4 Locking Timecode Fields

Timecode Field Locks:
Locking the Length Field:
Locking the Offset Field:
5-146 AutoTouch+
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 al-
lows 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 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 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 changed + 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.
