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

@Scott.C. this happened to me, but with a different bug where my Premiere would just become unstable and crash in a project created in 23.4 with extensive transcription. Autosaved versions of the project that had been working fine began behaving erratically, EVEN when downgraded to 23.3. I ended up starting the project over from scratch. Wish I had a better fix, but with my experience with 23.4 haunted project you will waste less time that way.

It's important to export an XML of the sequence that has the correct sync, then import that XML in the other location... ON v23.3

I'm at a bit of a loss... 

I downgraded to 23.3 Everything opened with the correct link, saved the project to a new project file, tried to move the project folder and when I re-opened and re-linked everything drifted again....In 23.3. So it seems if 23.4 has touched your project file its cursed? 

@Fergus H @Francis-Crossman17221443  This is still buggy. Not sure if it's limited to Multi-Camera + transcription, but the bug from before seems to persist. See video:

Steps:

1. Open project made in 23.3 (potenitally 23.4 not sure) in 23.5 with correctly linked files including multi-camera sequences. [Old file path]

2. Change the name of the folder where media files and project are kept. 

3. Premiere automatically relinks files

4. Rename folder or force a re-link.

5. Sync of multicamera files now very off, 2nd camera has lost it's original in point. 

Result - 2nd camera very out o sync with audio.

Expected result - normal relink without drift as seen in every other version of Premiere. 

@Scott.C. <<if you happened to save something in 23.4 without knowing about it>>

The problem with that, is there is nothing to fix. The saved project from 23.4 is as it is when it comes into 23.5.

So, don't save the project when (if) you see the timeline messed up in 23.4. (Find an AutoSave project if need be)

23.4 should just be sticken from the books and pulled as a possible update.

I would strongly advise NOT upgrading to 23.5, even though they say it's fixed.

I was able to find roll back to 23.3, find a previously saved project file in my AutoSave folder that was in sync, and I have no plans to upgrade anytime soon.

It's shocking how bad Adobe is at delivering a bug free release. Shocking. Does anyone test these things? It took me less than a week to encounter this bug. Not to mention the myriad of other bugs that never get fixed along with the new ones they keep popping up. Maybe stop creating new features if you can't get the basics like relinking correct.

This is still a really bad bug if you happened to save something in 23.4 without knowing about it and have to re-link in 23.5. That part isn't really fixed. 

I have found a workaround if V23.5 is not giving you your solution.

My case was that I had to move my project to another harddrive because of coppacity shortage. Let's call the harddrive's HD-1 and HD-2.

So I copied my entire project from HD-1 to HD-2. Note that this project was all fine when on HD-1. But when opening my project on HD-2, there was one file which clips were reset to the start of the file. With V23.5 this was not resolved since syncing was still off (just like with other members here).

Here is my solution:
I opened the project on both HD's within premiere (so 2 projects at once) and I put the timelines above each other. Meaning that I had the good timeline from HD-1 and the flawed timeline from HD-2 next to each other. After that, I manually copied the clips from the HD-1 timeline and pasted them over the timeline of HD-2. Replacing the flawed clips.
I was worried that these clips (that were now on the HD-2 timeline) would have their source-file set to HD-1 and that I needed to re-link them, making this experiment fail. But to my surprise they didn't. Meaning that their source-file changed when being pasted from HD-1 to HD-2 (as long as the same files are on both projects).

I hope I explained this well enough. Of course I do not know how you could do this with two different computers. But maybe you can experiment copying your project to an external harddrive and following the steps above. Hopefully you then do not need to re-link when you get to another computer. 

Good luck

Sorry guys, this is still not working in 23.5 I moved a file, and the syncing issue returned.
