Linking multiple audio clips

You can link one video clip to multiple audio clips and you can link multiple audio clips together. When you link audio clips in a sequence, you link only the instances of the master clips. The original master audio clips in the Project panel are untouched.

Linked clips remain in sync as you move them or trim them in a Timeline panel. You can apply audio effects, including Volume and Panning effects, to all channels in the linked clips. If you make an edit that moves one of the linked clips without moving the others, out‑of‑sync indicators appear.

Out‑of‑sync indicators appear when linked clips are no longer in sync.

You can display and trim a multi‑clip link in the Source Monitor. To view a track in the multi‑clip link, choose from the Track pop‑up menu. You can view and play only one channel at a time in the Source Monitor. If the linked clips contain markers, the Source Monitor timeline displays markers only for the displayed track. If the Source Monitor displays a multi‑clip link from the Project panel, you can use the Overlay or Insert buttons to add the linked clips to separate tracks in a Timeline panel.
