New to Resolve so I'm sure this is a problem which it's fix is staring me right in the face. haha.

So in my project at one point I selected a single clip, right clicked and unchecked the "Linked Clips". And ever since when I select a clip to edit it I have to select both it and the audio. Other wise it will only adjust the video and not the audio with it. When I try to go back and select clips with their audio to recheck the "Linked Clips", it's already rechecked. This happens even when I bring brand new clips in.

How do I get it back to before where I can edit them both again. This is especially annoying when I'm trying to speed up or slow down a clip with the retime curve option and it only does the video. >.<

Thanks so much!

New clips will be linked with their audio by default.
With the clips you have unlinked, and are trying to relink audio, are you clicking on the video then the audio while holding shift down? Should be as simple as that and choosing link clips from the menu, or use the shortcut ctrl+alt+L

New users aren't always aware, but BMD has produced some really great training materials that cover basics like this pretty well.

The Beginner's Guide and Advanced Editing should make the process go a lot smoother.

I don't think you guys understand. Yes I shift clicked both the video then the audio. When I go to relink them they already show that they're still linked.

I only selected a single clip before and unlinked it but for some reason it did it to all of them.

If you look at the image attached. I shift selected both the video then the audio, right clicked and it shows they're already both linked but they're not. I have to shift click both.

I found the issue. I had the "linked selection" option on the timeline tools unchecked. That seemed to reactivate the linked video and audios together.

Take Jim’s advice! That’s a very basic feature.

Greetings. Also relatively new user here. I have had no problems with the link / un-link function, but just last night ran into something that had me scratching my head. I was able to work around no-problem because it was an easy little job, but this thread just twigged me to the fact that if the link button is unchecked (which it was, inadvertently), then files load into the timeline un-linked (I had assumed they always loaded linked by default), and the (re)link function does not work normally until you re-enable the main link function... good to know Glad this forum and online tutorials are available - the reference manual is a spiralling death-trap
