4.5.2 CLIP PROTECTION
You can protect clips from deletion by Multicam users or other IPDirector users.
The clip protection will not prevent other users from deleting the clips. However, it
will warn them that the clip is protected and should not be deleted.
Within IPDirector, you can protect and unprotect a clip mainly from the contextual
menus of the Database Explorer and the Control Panel or during the creation of a
clip.
