# How to cut only one video track with AutoCut Silences in Premiere Pro ?

You may want to apply silence cuts to **one track only** — for example, your main camera angle — while keeping the others intact (B-roll, secondary cameras, overlays, etc.).
Here’s how to do it step by step :

# Step 1 — Select Only the Track You Want to Analyze
In AutoCut Silences, make sure to **deselect the video tracks** you don’t want to process.
* Only the selected track will be analyzed

# Step 2 — Lock the Other Video Tracks in Premiere Pro
In your Premiere Pro timeline, **lock all the video tracks** you don’t want AutoCut to cut.
* Click the **padlock icon** on the left of the timeline to lock a track
* Locked tracks will remain untouched

# Step 3 — Run AutoCut Silences
Launch AutoCut Silences as usual.
* AutoCut will cut **only the unlocked tracks**, following the silences of the selected tracks. Unselected but unlocked tracks will still be cut, but according to the selected tracks' silences.

# Step 4 — Review Your Timeline
Check your timeline after the cut :
* The selected video track is edited
* The locked tracks remain exactly as they were
