FIXED issue: Text-Based Editing - clips reset to first frame after relink in 23.4

Oh wow I was going nuts wondering why my footage kept going out of sync. Hopefully this gets resolved soon.

PR version 23.3. I finished ediitng a whole 4h course on premiere pro on a mac (i work off SSD drives). I did use the text based editor for some scenes. I was wrapping up some more edits on the last section on my pc (after transferring everything and relinking the footage on my PC). Then i experienced the issue of the audio not matching up with the cuts. 

I found my auto save for when i was on mac (still unlinked) and opened it up on the pr beta and that worked like a treat.
There needs to be a better way to find this forum cos i almost didnt find it and launched my pc out the window.

Same boat here - relinking full res media after using proxies and ran into this problem. I just tried opening an auto save of my project before the problem cropped up in Premiere Beta (where they've rolled out a fix) and everything linked back up fine. After saving in Beta, I opened it back up in 23.4 and all looks good. Luckily I haven't lost too much work with the auto-save file.

This has been going on for a few weeks now. The issue must be a bigger underlying issue than Adobe are letting on.

I'm relinking media in a project, and all clips (both audio and video) on my timeline gets thrown out of sync. Basically, every edit point slips to be the head of the raw clip. For example, if I have an edit point mid sequence, and the source timecode is 00:00:32:18, once relinked the edit point's source timecode will revert to 00:00:00:00. This happens for all clips on my timeline, regardless of the source (ie, music clips, A/V captures, production audio, motion graphics etc.)  The only exception is the multicam clip on my sequence remains in sync at each edit point. I tried replacing media vs. relinking, and the same issue happens.
My current workaround is just to slip each and every clip back into place, but yeah, this stinks.

Im editing a project on two different computers. This has never been an issue before but since a few weeks back i seem to have a problem working with projects between editing stations.

Editing station 1: Pc 2023

Windows 11 Pro

Premiere Pro 23.4

Editing station 2: MacBook Pro (2019)

macOS Monterey

Premiere Pro 23.4

I record videos (4K proresLT) with my Fujifilm X-H2S and also have an external audio recorder that i use SoundDevices PreMix 3 II. I manually re-sync the camera audio and external audio in Premiere Pro. I edit the video and everything is going smooth adding graphics, music and so on. No problem so far. Ive been working like this in Premiere Pro for over 10 years.

I have the project on an external SSD and connect it to my other editing station (MacBook Pro). Loading the project and relinking some files, everything is still working OK. But when the project Sequence opens up I see that all of the inserted clips in the sequence always starts from the beginning of that specific clip. And the external audio is also the same clip over and over again and it always starts from the beginning. I obviously use different clips in the Sequence but all of the clips inserted always start from the beginning of that clip and seem to have lost the correct in/out time. Same goes with the external audio.

Ive had this problem in two projects in the last couple of weeks now. Things that have been working so well previously... If i go back and reopen the project on the Windows computer, everything is looking and working just fine. So its like the clips correct in/out information is missing in the Premiere project file!?

Im thinking of just doing a simple test in Premiere Pro 2022 instead and see if the problem persists.

Any suggestions or ideas what this could be due to?

@dsymonds421,

Your post "Premiere timeline now FORGETS in and out points when MOVING and relinking media" was moved to this known issues thread for this bug. It has been fixed in the Beta. See workarounds in the first post:

I've experienced a new issue that is quite perplexing.

I will be editing on a project, with A and B-rolls, hit save and transfer the entire project to another destination, and the A-Roll and audio will go out of sync.

Anyone knows why and how to solve this?

As of today, Premiere timelines now forget the in and out points of source media if you move those media clips (even after relinking them successfully).

In the past, when moving clips in windows explorer for better organization, and then relinking them in Premiere, my picture lock would NOT be affected.

Now, at every edit point, it starts at the VERY BEGINNING of that source clip. 

I've NEVER had an issue with this before. This is possibly the most aggravating bug ever.

Hi everyone,

I'm running into this issue with every single project I am working on in PremierePro at the moment. 

I'll edit my video, preview it do ensure everything is playing as it should, save the project, close the program to work again later. However, once I re-open the project, either same day or next, all of the clips in the sequence (including the audio) have been rewinded to the beginning of the clip. Now, I am incredibly careful with not hitting the ripple edit tool or any other ones, and I just can't seem to understand why this is happening. The only way I have been able to solve this, is going back in the auto-saved project versions, and finding one where the clips aren't rewinded and the edits are as I made them. 

Is there something I'm doing wrong? I have never had this issue with PremierePro before and it is driving me insane. 

Appreciate your time and any advice!
