Learn about how to use sync lock to prevent changes while working with clips in Premiere Pro.
By enabling Sync Lock on tracks, you can determine which tracks are affected when you perform operations like insert, ripple delete, or ripple trim. If a clip is part of an operation, the track shifts regardless of its sync-lock state. The other tracks shift their clip content to the right only if their sync lock is enabled.
Add tracks to your sequence.
- To enable Sync Lock for selected tracks, select the Toggle Sync Lock icon at the head of each video and audio track you want to lock.
- To enable sync lock for all tracks of a particular type (video or audio), Shift-click the Toggle Sync Lock icon at the head of any track of that type.
The Sync Lock icon appears in the box, and Sync Lock is enabled for those tracks.
To disable Sync Lock on one or more tracks, select or Shift-click for all tracks of a type, the Toggle Sync Lock box again so that it contains no Sync Lock icon.

You’ll be able to sync lock your tracks.
