Locking Your Items in Avid Express Pro
You have spent hours managing your media, making sub-clips, marking just the right in and out on your clips and then you delete the clip by accident. This horror can be avoided very easly in the Avid bin. Avid has a great way to lock your items in the bin, this is a highly underutilized feature of the Avid software. Locked items can still be edited and modified but locking them prevents deletion.
Here are the steps to lock your items in your bin:
You must first be in the Text View.
1. Display the Lock heading in the bin by going to the fast menu in lower left corner of the bin and go to headings and select the Lock heading.
2. Click the item you want to lock.
3.Navigate to Clip and click Lock BIn Selection
You can select multiple items with control click or shift click and lock them all at once.
