How do you unlink audio and video in Final Cut Pro?

To unlink audio and video in Final Cut Pro, the process involves selecting the desired clip and then choosing the "Detach Audio" option. This action effectively separates the audio track from the video track, allowing you to manipulate them independently. It’s particularly useful when you want to edit audio separately, adjust its timing, or replace it without affecting the video.

The "Detach Audio" feature specifically provides a straightforward method for uniting the two tracks again if needed. By utilizing this feature, you maintain a clear workflow that enables you to manage audio and video components with ease.

In contrast, the other methods mentioned don't offer the same direct functionality for unlinking audio from video. The Clip Menu and right-click options could provide various editing tools, but they do not execute the unlinking action as specifically as the "Detach Audio" feature does. Adjusting Inspector settings relates more to modifying attributes of clips rather than unlinking audio from video. Thus, "Detach Audio" is the most precise and effective method for this action in Final Cut Pro.
