can unlink audio and video in batch but cannot batch link, does a solution exist?

[Ann Bens]

That is correct, how is Pr to know which audio belong to what video.

Right,

I don’t know how Premiere works under the hood,
so my simple logic assumes that if I can take any random video and audio, select them and (right-click) ‘link’ them, they get linked, whether they ‘belong’ together or not, I figured there would be some kind of algo/logic to mechanically batch link multiple clips.

Let’s say if you select multiple clips on a timeline (even number of video clips and audio clips), then why wouldn’t you be able to ‘link’ video clips and audio clips together based on let’s say time-code, in ascending chronological order? The earliest video gets linked to the earliest audio and so on.

This would be helpful in cases for me where I stumble upon a sequence where everything is in ‘sync’ but video and audio are unlinked. And I have to go about it clip by clip. Not a huge time-saver but just crossed my mind.

You can link, group or nest. No way to automate what you want.
