Linking audio clips in timeline

This must be as simple as I obviously am:
I would like to link some audio clips together (which currently run one after another) in the timeline in order that I can then drag them into the the viewer where I can then alter the levels and pans across the clips as a whole.
At the moment, when I select the clips and then drag them into the viewer, I just get the first clip as if taken from the browser, with the in / out points marked (i.e. what I originally dragged from the viewer into the timeline).
Have I explained this well enough? Can anyone help please?

as usual there a few ways you can do this .. just not the way you're trying to!
you can adjust pan for a selection of clips by choosing Modify menu > Audio > Pan Left/Center/Right
you can adjust the levels for a selection of clips by choosing Modify menu > Levels... which brings up the Gain Adjust window: in there you can make a releative or absolute adjustment to the selected clips
alternatively you could select those clips then choose Sequence meny > Nest Items which will create a new sequence containing those selected clips, replacing the selection in the current sequence with a single (nested sequence clip) ... then you can drag that one up into the viewer and adjust pan and levels as if it were a single merged clip
alternatively you can change your View menu > Playhead Sync to "Open"
then as you move your playhead in the timeline/canvas the clip under the playhead will be automatically loaded into the Viewer window where you can adjust pan/levels as required

  • Drag & drop audio clip from timeline to project window ?

    i no longer can drag a clip from timeline to the project window & then breakout the clip to mono by selecting clip - audio options- breakout to mono - now when i drop an audio clip from timeline into the project window it does not show up anywhere in the project window - did an update get rid of this function ? it was much better than having to go back to the unedited original source & start from scratch ...

    thanx for your time Jim - i understand that would be the preferred method but that was a quick fix until recently i have noticed that i can no longer do it by just grabbing the edited clip & drop it in project window so that i can modify just that portion of the original files properties - it still functions that way on a friends machine - was just kinda weird that i can't get it to work that way any more …

  • How do I link audio in the timeline?

    My source audio is stereo mix but in the timeline each track is represented as if it were mono. It's just a bit annoying since every time I add an effect to one track I have to do it do the other. Is there a way to link the audio? What caused the audio to get unlinked in the first place?

    To create a stereo pair:
    1 Select a pair of mono audio clip items in the Timeline. (Use the Command key to select the second item, if necessary.) If you click one item of a linked pair, the other item is also selected.
    2 Choose Modify > Stereo Pair (or press Option-L).
    The stereo pair indicators appear on the selected clip items in the Timeline.
    If the clip items you want to make into a stereo pair have different durations, the clip items are trimmed to the region where they both overlap. The levels, pan settings, and filters that were applied to the top clip are applied to both, and the clip attributes from the bottom clip are ignored.

    What caused the audio to get unlinked in the first place?
    Make sure the button for stereo pair is active in Log & Capture's Clip Settings:

  • Linking Audio Clips

    I am trying to combine two different audio clips together so the music is "seamless" (no break in music)....right now I have the two audio clips on the same row underneath the video clips in the timeline...I do not see how to "link" these together? Right now the first clip ends and there is a few second break in the music before the 2nd audio clip starts.

    Butt the two tracks against each other. Select the edit point and press Cmd-T to make a cross fade. Drag it out to make it longer.

  • Can't Move Audio Clips in Timeline After Expanding to View Waveforms (Premiere Pro CC 2014.2)

    So, this seems to be a bit of a weird one, and I'd be pretty stoked if it ended up being something silly that I'm doing wrong, but I can't for the life of me figure out what that might be.
    As the title suggests, I can't use the mouse to move some audio clips in a timeline once I expand the track to view the waveforms. This appears to only happen with independent audio clips (WAV. AIFF, MP3, etc), and not with clips attached to video. Also, it's worth noting that I don't have track keyframes turned on. I was hoping that was it, but it wasn't.
    So, what happens is this:
    1) I drag an audio clip down to the timeline (I can drag it onto an existing track, or drag to the bottom of the sequence and create a new track. Neither option seems to get a different result.).
    2) So long as the track isn't expanded and the waveform isn't visible, I can move the clip left, right, or up and down to a different track.
    3) As soon as I expand the track to view the waveform this functionality goes out the window. When this issue happens I can use the keyboard to nudge left and right, but that's about all the movement I have.
    4) It's almost as though the track becomes corrupt. The lanes for the track don't redraw properly, and the track is pretty much unusable. I can't put anything into it, and I can't take anything out. All I can do is delete the track and start again.
    Complicating issues is that this doesn't always happen, but instead is one of those "vast majority of the time" issues. I can't see any rhyme or reason for why it works or doesn't. I seem to do the exact same thing, but occasionally get different results. It doesn't matter what type of file I'm using (WAV, AIFF, etc), and this only happens with independent audio clips.
    Once again, I don't have track keyframing turned on when this happens. Believe me, I wish that was it.
    I have already filed a couple of bug reports about this over the last month or so, but haven't heard anything yet. I was wondering if anyone else was having the same issue, and if so, whether they had any workarounds.
    Mandatory system info:
    Windows 7 Professional SP1 (64-Bit)
    Intel i7-3820
    32GB RAM
    Nvidia GTX 980 (350.12)
    Premiere Pro CC 2014.2

    Update:
    I was just looking to post a screenshot of the timeline when I discovered something interesting. As soon as I use the vertical scroll bar to the right of the sequence, the tracks start to work again. Close off the waveform and the clip goes haywire. Move the scroll bar a tiny bit (or a lot), and suddenly the clip starts working.
    Pretty bizarre.
    The good news is that for the time being that could be a workaround, though it would be great for this to not happen at all.

  • Moving Video & Audio Clips on Timeline

    How can I move all video and audio clips on the timeline together? I can select and move all video clips, or all audio clips, but I can't find a way to move everything together. Moving separately will put audio and video out of sync.
    Thanks.

    Lock the audio to the Playhead first (Advanced menu).
    But you should be able to select both video and audio clips together using the usual shift key.

  • Can't drag audio clips onto timeline in PPro CC

    It doesn't seem to be possible to drag an audio clip directly onto the timeline any more without first importing it into the project.
    In CS6, I could drag an audio file like a .wav, mp3 or similar directly on to the timeline.  CS6 would automatically add it to the project, it would be conformed, and its waveform would appear in the timeline.
    In CC, it doesn't add it to the project, and instead it creates what appears to be just an empty placeholder in the timeline.  There's no waveform, and no audio is heard when the sequence is played.
    With CC, it seems you have to import it into the project first, then drag it onto the timeline, creating an unncessary extra step.
    Also, if after importing that audio file into the project you then delete it, it doesn't get removed from the timeline, it just stays there.

    Feature is still there, has not changed.

  • Video clip won't follow Audio clip on timeline

    Hi,
    When i drag a clip onto the timeline, the video clip for example ends up on track V1 and the audio on A1 and A2. So far so good. But when I want to drag my video clip to track V2, one would expect the audio clip to move to A3 and A4. This does NOT happen. The audio clips are still on track A1 and A2. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    While I know of no way to move both the audio and video tracks up or down together, I can offer two ways get them on the desired tracks in the first place:
    when dragging, hover the mouse over the track you want to the clip to land on
    In the Timeline, set Source Patching to the desired tracks, then use the Insert or Overlay command instead of drag-n-drop.
    Once a clip is in a sequence on the "wrong" track, as far as I'm aware you're stuck moving the audio and video separately. I encourage you to submit a feature request: www.adobe.com/go/wish (and that's not just a canned suggestion; I'd love to have a shortcut for doing this!)

  • Some audio clips in timeline are super quiet

    I've had this issue many times before, in the past I've just thrown my hands up in the air and started again, but this is starting to become a very big issue for me.
    Some clips (when I play the timeline) are super quiet (maxing out around -48dB) yet when I play the same clip in the source monitor it plays properly (maxing out around -6dB). The clip has no filters, the gain is set to 0dB and volume is set to 0dB.
    Below I have two clips, both shot on the same camera, same setup within minutes of each other. Both with 0dB Gain and 0dB Volume
    The one on the left is barely audible, where the one on the right is ridiculously loud.
    However, when I nest the clip on the left and open the nested clip, the volume is good again, however the volume of the nested clip in the original timeline is still unuseable. But if i try and nest out both clips into a new timeline, the issue persists into the new timeline.
    I've deleted all the files on my scratch drive, and I still have the issue.

    The clip files are way too large for me to be able to upload them. And I don't think it has anything to do with the files themselves as the same clip will behave in some timelines but not others.
    I did a quick screen capture so you can see the levels etc.
    I start by playing the clips in the original timeline and I get no volume I then nest them, and go into the nested clip... and suddenly I have volume (as hideous as it is, but this is just an example). So same clips same settings, different results.
    BTW the two clips here are different from the previous clips. I started the previous timeline again from scratch and it worked for a while, then my clips just started randomly losing volume again.

  • Linked audio not inserting to timeline

    Hello,
    When I put footage with linked audio into the timeline, the audio does not insert with the footage. I have never had this problem before, and it only happens with the current project. I recently changed some audio settings to allow me to do voiceover, and since then the problem occurred.
    I have tried restarting the program, and transferring the footage into a different project.

    What version??????
    Make sure source patching is enabled for an audio track.

  • Paste attributes prompt box (only 1st linked video & audio clip)

    what is up with that box? how can I avoid this? I need to paste attributes to all 4 audio tracks and not just the 1st one!
    The box reads:
    Paste Attributes will only use the first video and first linked audio clip for parameters and content to be pasted. Do you wish to continue?

    You'll get that warning if you copied more than one clip. The message is telling you that it will only paste the attributes of the first clip of the group you selected.
    To avoid that warning, you should only copy ONE clip. After you've copied one clip you can then past the attributes of that clip to as many clips as you select.

  • Video and audio clips not moving together on timeline

    So every time I move my video clips in the timeline, the audio clips are not following.
    I know "make a stereo pair" links up the audios, but is there any way to make the video and both the appropriate audio tracks move together?
    Thanks
    D

    Link them - select the video and audio tracks and press ⌘L.

  • How to link multiple audio clip to one video?

    I have multiple audio clips in the timeline but I can't link them all to a video in the timeline.
    The "Clip" -> "Link" option is only enabled if I select a single audio clip.

  • Linking All Video and Audio Clips at Once

    I'm running the most recent version of Premiere CC 2014 on OSX.
    Somehow I accidentally unlinked every video and audio track on my timeline (I didn't make them offline - I unlinked them so that they select independently on my timeline when I want linked video and audio from the same clip to select simultaneously).
    I don't want to have to go through my entire timeline and re-link every clip. Is there a way to easily select all media and link it? I've tried highlighting everything, right clicking and selecting "Link," but this hasn't worked.
    Any tips would be appreciated.

    I have to start you from the beginning to make sure everything is set correctly.
    Under the Edit menu, make sure "Linked Selection" is checkmarked (also Shift+L).
    Once that is done, make sure the video clip is linked the it's corresponding audio in the timeline. Do this by selecting them all, and choosing "Link" under the Modify menu (or hitting command + L).
    Try that and if it doesn't work we'll go from there.

  • How do you link two audio clips to one video clip?

    Hi guys,
    I want to think multiple audio clips to one video clip and aint know how to do it! I found this page on Adobe knowledge base:-
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/3.0/help.html?content=WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b 1038518aef7-7f40.html
    It says you can do it but I don't think it explains how? Can anyone provide me with the simple steps required to link two audio clips to one video clip? Many thanks.

    Do you mean manual syncing? I've been reading this thread about workaround, which aren't working for me: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/344/21236
    But the question they are asking is the same one I am asking. Isn't this a typical situation, having multiple mics for one camera? For example, if someone filmed a concert with one camera but used both the camera audio, and ambient mic, and a mix from the board, then that would be 3 audio tracks with 1 video track. I'm in a similar situation, and I'm finding it hard to believe that FCPX isn't equipped to edit this way. There must be some way to get one video clip (with reference audio) to sync with four audio tracks.
