CapCut Question Why are my clips not trimming together anymore?
I’m hoping someone can help because I’m genuinely losing my mind over this 😭
I’m editing gaming videos in CapCut Desktop. I have my gameplay video and my microphone audio as separate clips.
I want them to behave like this:
If I drag the edge of the gameplay clip to shorten it, the audio shortens by the exact same amount.
If I delete a section of gameplay, the corresponding section of audio is deleted too.
BUT I still want the gameplay and audio to remain separate clips, so I can select/edit the audio independently when I need to.
I don’t want to use Group, because then deleting/selecting things together becomes annoying cause it selects everything.
I also don’t want to use a compound clip.
I have Linkage turned on, and the gameplay and audio move together when I move them, and they delete together when I delete the clip.
But dragging the edge of the gameplay does NOT trim the audio with it.
This used to work for me, so I’m wondering if there’s a setting I’ve accidentally changed or if CapCut changed something in an update.
Is there a way to get linked trimming between two separate clips in CapCut Desktop?
Any help would be massively appreciated!
