Separated audio to edit it. Now what do I do to continue editing video

Just got free trial version. Total newb. Using sample clip of talking head with bad audio to learn. I separated audio, applied editing (got decent results for basically unsalvageable audio). Now what do I do to continue editing the video—reattach to make cuts and trim sections? TIA

You've completely detached the audio from the video. If you select both video and audio and use the blade function, Cmd-B, you'll cut both the video and audio in sync. You can also combine the video and audio together into a compound clip, Opt-G, which make make it easier to work with, depending on what you have to do in the project.


Just to add, detaching the audio is not necessary if you want to EQ it. Simply add the effect or use the controls in the Audio inspector, while the video and audio are combined. There are very few instances where you really need to detach the audio.
