Question

Can't figured out why 'linked selection' isn't working (I have it checked)

I'm a novice Premiere user but I have successfully edited 4 videos now and getting better with each one. But I can't seem to figure out why 'linked selection' isn't working. I've tried updating CC, restarted program and computer. I've clicked it on and off multiple times. I've got to the sequence drop down and selected it there.

Any ideas? I'm sure it's user error and it's driving me crazy!

    Try this -  select both video clip & Audio clip than right click to choose link.. and did you try to reset the preferences of premiere pro cc if not than reset the preferences -

    To reset preferences and plug-in cache at the same time, hold down Shift-Alt (Windows) or Shift-Option (Mac OS) while the application is starting. Release the Shift-Alt keys or Shift-Option key when the splash screen appears.

    If you don't see the list of your recent projects on the Welcome Screen the next time you launch Premiere Pro, the preferences were reset correctly.

    NOTE: Nothing happens to the project files; it's just that Premiere Pro's recent directories are wiped off too. Navigate to your project location and open it from there.

    I had the same issue. I found that you need to make sure that the "linked selection" option is turned on on your timeline.
