How to undo deleting audio in Adobe Premiere Pro
How do you restore or undo deleted audio in the timeline in Adobe Premiere Pro? There are a couple of ways of doing it and I will show you what I prefer to do.
How to undo deleting audio in Adobe Premiere Pro
First, select the video clip with the missing audio, go up to the menu, click “Sequence” and “Match Frame” (or keyboard shortcut F).
Now, in the “Source” window, you will see the clip and if it’s trimmed, you will see the exact area you are using in your sequence.
If you now go to the two icons in the middle, underneath the video in the “Source” window, you can drag the video or the audio for the selected part of this clip down to the timeline. Just make sure “source patching” is turned on for both video and audio, in order to add them both to the timeline.
But now the video and audio are not linked so either you select both of them, right-click and then click “link”, or go back to the source window, put the mouse cursor inside the video frame to drag and drop both video and audio down to the timeline. (Just remember that when doing this, you will reset any effects you might have added to the video clip.)
