Use the following preferences when working with containers on the timeline.
- Lock Container Effects button
-
Use to control how effects associated with segments are processed when you create containers.
- Enable to prevent recalculation of multi-layer effects when you move their container. This is useful when containing a composite
in which a background is outside the container.
NoteWhen a soft effect is processed, it is locked. If the effect is part of a layered effect and the bottom part is moved, the
effect is invalidated, and the result may differ once the effect is unlocked. Also, a locked effect does not display the soft
effect quick menu when selected. To unlock the effect, you must either enter the editor, unlock it, or add an additional effect.
- Disable to reprocess any effects that have been invalidated or not yet rendered.
- Uncontain Options box
-
Use to determine whether new layers and tracks are overwritten when a container segment is uncontained. See
Working with Containers.
| Select: |
To: |
| Uncontain & Overwrite |
Overwrite segments outside the container on layers and tracks that conflict with the container segments. |
| Uncontain & Add Tracks |
Preserve tracks when you uncontain a container by adding sufficient new layers and tracks to house the previously contained
segments. All tracks inside and outside the container are preserved.

- Contain Timewarped Edits button
-
When you perform a fit-to-fill four-point edit, you can enable Contain Timewarped Edits to preserve the edits (including splices
and/or transitions) in the incoming clip by containing the incoming clip and applying a timewarp to the container instead
of the clip. The result element is a timewarped container, and the container contains the edited incoming clip—all its splices
and/or transitions preserved.
