Link and unlink video and audio clips
In the Project panel, clips that contain both video and audio appear as a single item, represented by
add the clip to the sequence, however, the video and audio appear as two objects, each in its appropriate track
(provided you specified both the video and audio sources when adding the clip).
The video and audio portions of the clip are linked so that when you drag the video portion in the Timeline panel,
the linked audio moves with it, and vice versa. For this reason, the audio/video pair is called a linked clip. In the
Timeline panel, each part of the linked clip is labeled with the same clip name, which is underlined. The video is
marked [V] and the audio is marked [A].
Ordinarily, all editing functions act on both parts of a linked clip. When you want to work with the audio and video
individually, you can unlink them. When you do, you can use the video and audio as though they were not linked;
even the clip names no longer appear underlined or bear the [V] and [A] labels. Even so, Adobe Premiere Pro keeps
track of the link. If you relink the clips, they indicate whether they have been moved out of sync, and by how much.
You can have Adobe Premiere Pro automatically resynchronize the clips.
You can also create a link between previously unlinked clips. This is particularly useful if you need to synchronize
video and audio that were recorded separately.
Note: You can link video only to audio—you cannot link a video clip to another video clip. You can link a video clip
to multiple audio clips, or multiple audio clips together.

Link or unlink video and audio
❖
Do any of the following:

To link video and audio, Shift-click a video and audio clip to select them both, and then choose Clip > Link.
•
To unlink video and audio, select a linked clip and choose Clip > Unlink.
Though the audio and video are unlinked, they are both still selected. Reselect either clip to use it separately.
Edit tracks of linked clips individually
❖
Alt-click/Option-click either part of a linked clip, and then use any editing tool. When you are finished editing
