Linking media losing in and out points

I have been experiencing problems over the past couple of days with Premiere projects losing the in and out points to all the clips on the timeline when I relink media. This makes all my sequences unusable. I have made sure to have the Align Timecode and Preserve interpret footage settings checked when linking. At first I thought it might be a change in compatibility with BRAW Studio but it does not happen to every clip and it does not happen to one singular video format. I have this problem on every file type I have tried; R3D, BRAW and CRAW. I have also had this problem on three separate PCs. I can export using Encoder directly with no problems but as soon as I open in Premiere I get the same problem. What’s changed? Has the latest update changed some settings somewhere? Any help gratefully received.

If people are having this issue recently with Premiere Pro 2023, Adobe seemed to have fixed it in 23.5, see here - https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-bugs/fixed-issue-text-based-editing-clips-reset-to-first-frame-after-relink-in-23-4/idi-p/13814912

Been running into the same issue since updating Pr. ... has anyone found a solution? Adobe please fix this bug, I am in the middle of a massive project and am now having to redo almost 3 weeks worth of work all over again. Very frustrating, hope a solution can be found 😞

Hello !

I didn't update this issue, but we added an automatic fix for those prproj in our third party product "BRAW Studio" (because we had a lot of clients using BRAW having this issue at that time). The fix works the same for BRAW files than for other kind of files actually, so it's not really specific to BRAW files.


You can get more info on how you could fix this in this article


Note: if you want to use the automatic Fix in BRAW Studio, you will need to buy the product. Note that in case it would not work as expected, send us a mail and we will help you fix the issue OR give you a refund.

Did you ever find a solution? I'm having the same issue and it's driving me insane.

After digging we found that it was happening when relinking footages when the media path changed.
So we implemented a tool to relocate your project footages easily available in the BRAW Studio Panel.

When I relink the media, it shifts to the first frame. So I tried using the Automatic Tool in the BRAW Studio Panel but it doesn't say there are any issues. Please help!

Using the 2019 version didn't fix it either.

Hi. I figured out the problem. It's Hard Drive Drive letters. So if you working on the project, and the drive you working on is Drive E: , wherever you move your footage to, the drive has to be E: as well. Usually drive letters change if you are using an External Drive, so this will cause this bug. So just change the Drive letter untill you get to the one that works. I've had this problem twice and this is how I fixed it on both occasions.

How do you change the letter of the drive?

Hello, 

 

It seems that Premiere Pro has this bug since 14.0 version. 

See this uservoice we created to ask them to correct this problem, you can upvote and this will give more weight !

Yes I have tried the Align Timecode checked and unchecked. It’s a serious problem for me right now with large projects that will take days to correct by hand waiting to go to clients. If I spend the time going back through and changing it by hand I’m worried that I’ll find myself in the exact same problem when I need to move the project.

Yes this works. The in and out points are correct after importing from the XML. If I then unlink the project again and use the normal Premiere link the problem reoccurs so there is something wrong in that department. The XML route means I lose all my grade and plugins which makes it hard to use on larger projects.

Hi Peter,

Yes if I creat a new project set a bunch of in and outs then make media offline - relink and the ins and outs are lost even without closing the application.
