For clips that you want to lock to a particular location in a track (a beat, SMPTE frame, or sample location), you can lock it in place so it cannot be moved accidentally. Time-locked clips cannot be moved. However, they can be edited in ways that do not move the clip to a different time location (such as separating, trimming, AudioSuite processing, or even moving the clip to another track). Time-locked clips can also be deleted. When separating a Time-locked clip, any new clips will also be locked to their time locations.
1 With the Time Grabber, select the clip or clips to Time lock (or unlock). The clips can reside on multiple tracks.

When Time-locked, a small Time Lock icon appears in the clip and the clip cannot be moved, but it can be edited or even deleted.
In Shuffle mode, Time-locked clips, and all clips occurring after the locked clip, are not displaced when other neighboring clips are moved.
On tick-based Elastic Audio-enabled tracks, Time-locked clips conform to tempo changes, but not other Elastic Audio processing (such as Quantize or manual warping) can be applied.
