What is the difference between video tracks and audio tracks in the timeline, and how do you lock a track?

• A. Video tracks contain video clips; audio tracks contain audio; click the lock icon on a track header to prevent editing.
• B. Video tracks can hold audio as well; audio tracks cannot hold video.
• C. Locking a track prevents playback for that track.
• D. All tracks are always editable; locking does nothing.

Answer: (D)

In Premiere Pro, timeline tracks are organized layers: video tracks (for visual content) and audio tracks (for sound). Video tracks primarily hold video clips, while audio tracks hold audio clips. A video track can contain audio from a clip, but keeping media on its designated type helps you manage edits more predictably. Locking a track is done by clicking the lock icon in the track header. When a track is locked, you can’t move, trim, delete, or add clips on that track, and its contents won’t be editable until you unlock it. Playback continues as usual, and you can still edit other tracks. This lets you protect a finished layer while you refine the rest of your timeline.
