  • Linking audio tracks for trimming

    Posted by Jeremy Donaldson on March 16, 2010 at 12:51 am

    What is the best/easiest way for me to link my audio tracks together so I can move both at the same time. Not, move one Audio track, then having to move the other. WITHOUT AFFECTING VIDEO..

    So far, I UNLINK (shift + L) trim first audio track, then have to trim to next audio track. I want both to move together.

    OK, I figured out a way. Please let me know if there is an easier
    way.

    This is how I do this.

    Select the clip(Which highlights Video/Audio tracks).
    Short cut cmd+L (Unlinks Video/Audio tracks)
    Select/highlight both audio tracks
    Short cut cmd+L (links both Audi tracks, but is unlinked from video)

    Any other way? Quicker? Smarter?

    instead of the unlink/relink shuffle you could just lock/unlock the video track
    or if you prefer to unlink then instead of relinking the audio you can use the edit select tool (g) and select both edit point to trim
