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

This issue has been fixed in 23.5 which is now available.  Please update to get the fix.

 

We are aware of an issue in Premiere Pro version 23.4: when transcribed clips in a timeline are taken offline and relinked, clips shift and reset to the first frame. Effects, transitions, and speed changes can also be removed or impacted.  Our engineers understand the problem well, and we are testing fixes internally right now.  We have put a fix into Public Beta and will get the fix into an official release ASAP.  I will update this post with more details as soon as I learn them.

 

If you are experiencing this problem:

If you get the media relinking dialog in 23.4 and you have previously used transcription, close and do not save the project. Make a backup of your project file just to be safe.

 

Workaround #1 – Restore media

  1. Put the media back in its original location so no relinking is required.

* There are many cases where this is not possible; try one of the following:

 

Workaround #2 – Beta

  1. Download Premiere Pro beta version 23.6.0 build 02 or later
  2. Open in beta, reconnect the media, and ensure the sequence looks correct.
  3. You may choose to just work in Beta –or– save and open in 23.4

 

Workaround #3 – XML

  1. Export XML (File > Export > Final Cut Pro XML) from the original system that has properly connected media.
  2. Import the XML into a new project on the new system and reconnect the media

* Please take note – not all aspects of the sequence will be reproduced by the XML

 

Workaround #4 – revert to Premiere Pro 23.3

  1. Open Creative Cloud Desktop app
  2. Click on All Apps
  3. Find Premiere Pro
  4. From the three dots on the right, choose “Other versions”
  5. Choose 23.3

Update: I'm using Merged clips and I think what's happening is the audio is slipping out of sync to 00:00:00:00 but the video stays in the correct place so I can slip the audio back into sync. When I press "match frame" on the clip, it goes to the correct part of the video source clip. So as a temporary fix I can go ahead and slip every single clip back into sync. I dunno if this is relevant, but I built my sequence using transcription, highlighted the text and did insert edits.

This is a new problem for me. My client edited a sequence in PP 23.4 and sent it to me via email. When I open the sequence and link to the consolidated footage he sent over dropbox, every clip from one camera (that was consolidated to ProRes along with everything else) starts at the first frame of every clip. He is on the exact same version of Premiere and does not have any issues on his end but as soon as I open the sequence - even before linking to the media, it shows that all clips (from this one source only) are reset to the first frame.

 

After a couple hours of the usual resets and tests I asked him to send an xml file of the sequence - which ofcourse opened perfect and correctly. I have attached a screen grab of my sequence showing that each clip has been reset to the first frame. (The arrow was for my client to see the issue since he is not an expert at Premiere)

 

The footage (on V2 from a different camera was fine. All clips were consolidated using project manager to ProRes so it is confusing. Plus even without linking to the media I can see by the timeline that it is wrong. How does a sequence from one Mac running the same PP version as mine open like this? Any thoughts?

This is the same on all my M1 macs runnign Ventura, also happens when opening in Rosetta and much earlier versions of Premiere. Looking for any suggestions as to how to figure this out. Thanks!Screenshot 2023-06-09 at 2.45.14 PM.png

Edited an interview - had to jigsaw a lot of ums and uhs and make a fluid track.

 

Everything is fine and dandy. Render is looking good for a rough.

 

Do a little project cleanup - so I have to relink a single audio file - this file is the main cut track for the main interview. So in my timeline its cut many times over the video.

 

Relinking the source audio, makes every instance of the cut clip play from the beginning - not where its been cut.

 

E.g: If the clip begins with the words 'What the hell is happening' - every cut of the edit is saying 'What the hell is happening'.

 

What have I done wrong, anybody experience this?

David,

 

Once the file is damaged, you can't fix it. I assume that is what you mean by reverting. You need to use a backup file. Be sure to make an extra copy.

I'm sharing a project file with another editor with the same media - however when he opens a sequence all the video is linking incorrectly i.e. its the correct clip but seems to be defaulting to the very beginning of the clip. It works completely fine on my system!

 

Any ideas?

Hello Adobe Community,

I am working on a large project in Premiere Pro and have encountered a critical issue after handing it over to my colourist for colour grading. I provided him with all the necessary files, including video clips and associated assets.

 

Unfortunately, when my colourist linked all the files in Premiere Pro, we discovered that some of the video clips have become completely out of sync with their corresponding audio. It appears the clips are referencing incorrect timecodes, resulting in a misalignment between the video and audio content.

 

To illustrate the problem, let's consider a scenario where I had a video clip that was cut into three segments: 10 seconds at the beginning (unused), 15 seconds in the middle (used), and 10 seconds at the end (unused). Instead of correctly using the middle segment, the clip reverts back to the very start (the part that I don't want), leading to a mismatch between the timeline and the actual content. 

 

I have double-checked the timeline and confirmed that all the clips are in their correct positions. However, the issue lies with the clips referencing the wrong timecodes, causing them to play incorrect segments.

I kindly request your assistance in resolving this perplexing issue. I understand that my explanation may be somewhat vague, so I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions you can provide to help rectify this problem swiftly.

 

Thank you in advance for your prompt attention and valuable insights.

 

Best regards,

Oskar

Just to simplify the issue: say that the source file was 20 seconds long. I've already cut it at 0:10s-0:15s (thats the footage I want from the clip, so 5 seconds of the 20s file). When my colourer relinked the footage, Premiere Pro is keeping the time of the clip (so in this case a 5 second clip), but its using the 0:0s-0:0:5s (or the very start of the clip, instead of the timecodes that I want!) So the in and out points inside the actual clip are wrong. 

I think that this is a similar issue here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/all-timecode-is-wrong/m-p/10414674 

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! THANK YOU!

Edit: One more thing, all of the audio is completely mismatched. The audio is of the wrong audio, even though when I click "Reveal in Explorer/Project" it is the correct audio. Somehow its just ending up wrong on the timeline. 

PLEASE HELP!

My goodness, I thought I was going crazy. Having the exact same issue - not "text based editing" per sé, but likely a bug that crept in because of this new feature. When copying the project file and assets to another PC, all edit points of each clip revert to the first frame.

I have successfully solved the issue using the Premiere Pro (beta) work-around, but not after spending almost half a work day on this problem - time I can ill afford to lose. I'm going to echo what Philip Bloom once said regarding Adobe's feature creep: Take a year off introducing new features, and work 100% on getting your product in a rock-solid, stable condition. Premiere's instability is by far the number one reason so many of my editor colleagues are migrating to other platforms.

I want to love this product that I've been using since 5.1 in yonder years, but issues like this just kills it for me. Thank goodness for this community though.

To echo what edwin said -- this kinda stuff is hair-pulling and Adobe really should focus on function above all else because this issue made me miss a deadline.  And I'm a loyal Adobe/Premiere user - since the early, early days.  But the BETA install does solve the issue.  Thank goodness.

The beta did work I just had to go deep back in my auto saves and redo some work. Really unacceptable Adobe, think this might be the final push to Resolve.

We have an issue with our Edits it seems like premiere loses the in- and out points of the edit. When you play it back, it always comes back to timecode 0 of the clip. Any idea how we can fix it?
