How do you attach an audio clip to a video clip in Premiere Pro?

Attaching an audio clip to a video clip in Premiere Pro primarily involves aligning the audio clip on the timeline with the video. This method allows the audio to synchronize correctly with the visual elements of the video, ensuring a cohesive final product where sound and image match up perfectly.

When you place the audio clip directly on the timeline below the video clip, it becomes associated with that particular segment. The clips can then be moved together if you link them, making it easy to maintain their synchronization during editing. This process is fundamental in video editing, as it serves to enhance the storytelling aspect of the video through sound.

The other methods mentioned do not facilitate the direct attachment of audio to video in the same way. Rendering may produce a unified file but does not create a live attachment on the timeline that can be easily edited further. Trimming changes the length of the clips rather than linking them for playback in the timeline. Exporting the clips together results in a completed video file but does not allow for adjustments during the editing process, which is crucial in creating a polished final product.
