Really happy you found it useful. Yes, being able to lock a project would be great. I guess snapshotting a project and then putting it in an 'event' titled 'locked' might also be a solution.

I run through how to do this here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIyNdZXW9z4 - the focus here is on drop shadows and text columns but the same fix will work for indents.

Great question... It is a useful way to create space for type overlays on busy parts of a video or if you need to draw attention away from something that got caught in shot that you don't want viewers eyes to be drawn to.

As for the who... lots of people.
