Text-based editing reseting clips to starting frame after any changes in files location

As the title says, whenever i use text-editing in a project, i cant change any files, or move the project folder, or work on any other computer, as any changes in the original files location reset every clip in the text-edited secuence to the begining of the original file, making the project useless. Also, the transcription changes, so the clips are still linked to the text, only that the previous edition has been lost.

This issue is fixed in 23.5 which is available now.  If you ever used transcription in 23.4 and got the relink dialog, you should close and not save the project.  Once you save, the damage is done and you will have to restore from autosave backups.  You should close the project without saving and update to 23.5.  Now you can relink and everything will be correctly linked.

Hi,

 

I've been sent a project from a remote editor - we are both using the same version of Premiere Pro 23.3.0

 

When I relink the sequences, all the media relinks fine, except from WAV audio files that have been auto-transcribed within Premiere Pro.

 

Edit as it appears offline. Source monitor to the right has been match framed to the audio clip at this edit point, which has an in-point of 10:03:48:16

File relinked - in point is now 09:59:58:23 which is the start of the audio file.

You can see all the other edits that use this WAV file are the same - all starting from the beginning of the wav file.

 

I've never had this issue before. The only thing that I can think of that is different is that the remote editor has used auto transcribe on those wav files within the sequence. I would also note that the transcription has also not carried across to my project.

 

The only fix we have is to export that audio channel as an EDL - re-import the EDL and relink. The relinking of the EDL works perfectly and the audio edits all have the correct in point.

@Francis-Crossman17221443 glad you're able to see it as well. please keep all of us in the loop. This is reslly wrecking things for the last couple of weeks. 

im curious if ticking the preserve transcripts box now has anything to do with it? I haven't tested the idea yet but I think that's the only new change to the media browser/relink dialogue that pops up when media is disconnected.

I just became aware of this issue and I acknowledge that it's a very serious problem.  I can reproduce it on my end as well.  We are investigating this issue and trying to find a fix and a workaround.  I'll keep the thread updated on what we learn.

Having used the text based editing approach on My Windows laptop I opened the same project on my Mac and found that the clips do not start and end at the same edit points as on windows. Instead of starting at the in point from the Windows version they start at the beginning of the clip, which means that the timeline edit is useless.

This appears to be related to the relinking process. See these threads for two workarounds:

Do either of them work for you?

I recently started using the text-based editing feature. When I opened the project on another computer all the in points on every clip are set to the beginning ub the sequence. I have tested this on Macbook Pro and a Mac Studio. Somewhere along the way it appears to have lost timecode information for the edit points made in the text-based workflow. I can see the sequence, but source clips link to the beginning of every clip. Has anyone encountered this or found a solution? I have various timelines that are unusable right now.

 

Thanks!
