MTS files out of sync

[sequence W4]

I have just re-opened a project I was working on last week. Suddenly all the MTS audio is out of sync.

I previously exported the timelines and they were in sync. I haven't changed anything in my configuration.

CC 2018 Mac OSX10.13.2

There have been numerous posts about this issue. When is it going to be corrected?

I often edit one hour long videos comprised of shorter 5-15 minute videos.  I find I have to handbrake all of the components.  Like was mentioned earlier this is time and resource intensive but at least it works.

This is still an issue in 2023!!!! And now I can't download the 2017 version. I was on the line with Adobe for hours and the guy had no idea how to fix it. They say they'll call me back today but I doubt they can fix this. I've tried everything. Converting files, and clearing the cache. I'm on a PC with the latest version of Windows 10. The thing is, the files play correctly in VLC and Windows media player, but not Adobe, so it's Adobe. If someone has a real fix please help. I have hours of footage I have to edit.

What finally worked for me was using Handbrake to convert the files to a constant frames per second.  I had to play around with it so the output quality was the same as the input.  At least you can put several files in the Handbrake queue and let it run but it's still annoying to have to spend that time to make it work.

this works but I have 3 months' worth of files for a show to get through. I don't have the time to put all of them in there. There should be a codec like there used to be. If you have an earlier version of premier you can use this download: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP4afwIsjVM&lc=UgwEVrxsvzDRpiCukyB4AaABAg

but I don't and can't seem to get one so I'm SOL.

Handbrake

Spent a couple of hours on this tonight

FAILED:

1. Create new project
2. delete all cache
3. use AME (for anything)
4. tried latest stable + latest beta of Premiere

WORKED

1. use a 3rd party transcoder (I used Wondershare Uniconverter which I pay for, basically like AME) to transcode the files into .mp4 which is REALLY annoying but used preset "same as source LOW bitrate" and they're slightly smaller files so at least that's a solution

I just converted the whole video in mp4 format using HANDBRAKE software, it worked without any hassle!
