Question

Grouped clips out of synk on timeline

I have the latest version of Premiere Pro. I use the latest version of Windows 11. 
On timeline I have a sequence which is roughly 35 minute long. There are several clips and I have grouped them, perhaps 10 - 15 in a group and it works well. Within the group I also have linked files, video clips and audio clips. 
The problem is when I open a project, make some adjustments, shorten or trim a clips or two, then use for instance "ripple delete", or carefully move a group, the following (to the right) video  and audio clip get out of synk. I'm very careful to unlock all the tracks.
Can anyone help me with this - it's a huge problem and it takes an awful lot of time to move the clips back again.

    Are you able to do a screengrab or a screen recording of the issue?

    You say you are careful to "unlock all the tracks"? Are you talking about Track locks or Sync Locks? You want to keep the Sync locks on to maintain sync.

    See screenshot below. 
    I mean that I carefully unlock all the track locks.
    is my description of the problems understable?
    Can you help me?

    Yea those red numbers mean that you''ve disabled sync lock which is unnecessary and will cause problems. Please don't unlock sync lock. You can right click on the red numbers and use the options that pop up to automatically move your audio/and video tracks back into sync.


    I'd appreciate very much if you could answer this question.
