All clips locked

PostThu Aug 10, 2023 2:05 pm

I know this is probably a really stupid question, but all of a sudden all my clips are locked. Every single one. I can delete them, but I can't move any of them. Another timeline of the same project works fine.

What did I do? I tried searching keyword "locked" in the manual and only got a result about a locked playhead. I don't know what else to search for.

We can lock tracks, but that would prevent Deletion as well.

I don't know of any way to lock clips.

What page are you working on?

I just figured it out. There is a little button that does a "Position Lock All Tracks". (I didn't realize it was tracks I was locking, rather than clips.) A little suitcase looking thing with a double-headed arrow. I must have accidentally clicked it.

But thanks for your fast reply.

I'm glad you're all having a good laugh at my expense. :shock:

Anyway now I've learned there are two ways to accidentally lock things up. Thank you!

Hi,
Truly, all my clips are locked (not the track).
I've tried locking and unlock the track itself.
Updating Da vinci,
I've tried click on the locks on each clip, to no avail.
I've check read-write is ok with the media.
I've tried bypassing color fusion and then undoing that.
I tried resetting UI layout.
I've also tried enabling and disabling the clip.
Nothing undoes the lock at the corner of every single clip.
I've tried opening new project, reimporting media.
When I export the time line- it and reimport it - it comes back with the same locks.:(
It's just locks and only locks on video footage.

Can someone out there please help me solve this vexing problem that started days into working on this project, which went smoothly until this morning when I reopened the it- and tried starting new project with the same material only to find the same issue.
All my clips remain locked.

Help please,
Adrian
