What is the difference between Edit Lock and Time Lock? What icon is displayed on a clip for each?

• A. Edit Lock protects a clip from inadvertent edits with a full padlock icon; Time Lock allows edits but locks clips on the timeline (hollow padlock icon).
• B. Edit Lock and Time Lock both prevent edits with the same icon.
• C. Edit Lock locks the clip on the timeline; Time Lock prevents any changes to the clip's metadata.
• D. Edit Lock is only for MIDI clips; Time Lock is only for audio clips.

Answer: (A)

The difference comes from two kinds of protection with distinct scopes. Edit Lock keeps the clip’s data itself safe, preventing edits to the clip’s content (no trimming, moving, or altering the waveform). The icon you’ll see is a solid padlock. Time Lock, on the other hand, fixes the clip’s timing on the timeline, so you can still edit inside the clip (such as inside its content) but you can’t move or trim the clip on the timeline. The icon for this state is a hollow padlock.
