What occurs when sync locks are off in the timeline?

When sync locks are off in the timeline, it allows for more granular control over individual tracks. This means that users can adjust and move specific tracks without impacting other tracks in the timeline. For instance, one might want to shift a specific video clip while keeping the audio and other visual elements in their original positions. By disabling sync locks, it enables this flexibility, making it easier to edit different components of a project independently.

In this context, options that suggest uniform movement across all tracks or automatic syncing of clips do not apply when sync locks are off. Without sync locks, users intentionally isolate tracks for adjustments rather than having them all move together. Thus, the ability to work on individual tracks distinctly is a crucial aspect of editing in this scenario.
