Lock and unlock tracks
Locking an entire track is useful for preventing changes to any clips on that track while you work on other parts of
the sequence. In the Timeline panel, a pattern of slashes appears over a locked track. Although clips in a locked track
cannot be modified in any way, they are included when you preview or export the sequence. If you want to lock both
a video track and a track with corresponding audio, lock each track separately. When you lock a target track, it is no
longer the target; source clips cannot be added to the track until you unlock it and target it again.
You can lock a track to prevent it from shifting when you perform insert edits.

Set track display
You can customize the tracks in the Timeline panel in several ways. You can expand or collapse tracks to display or
hide track controls. Choosing from several display options, you can control how video and audio clips appear on a
track. In addition, you can change the size of the header area or move the boundary between the video and audio
tracks to display more tracks of either type.

to display larger views of video track thumbnails and audio track waveforms.
