Premiere Pro relinking audio incorrectly

[AlanMarkey]

I am working on an important project for Broadcast and we are having a repeat issue with audio clips relinking to the wrong parts of the reference files.

Note the audio clips with 'duplicate clip' marks and stripped lines through them on Audio tracks 1 and 2.

The camera audio relinked perfectly but the external audio is having issues and relinking to the wrong parts of the same clip.

All clips on Track 1 are referencing from one long .wav audio clip (4hrs) that was used as a sync guide on the shoot.

Any help greatly appreciated.

What's the work flow here?  Why is media going offline?

Hi Jim,

In this particular case the media went offline when an external drive where the footage was stored was disconnected. Even though I did not save the project with offline files, when reopened the individual containers for the out of sync audio clips had all reverted to the start of the long audio clip they were referencing (note the grey corner at the start of each audio on Trk 1).

No matter how much I relink/rename files/create new projects etc, the containers on the timeline now display the grey corner and hence relink (incorrectly) to the start of the original audio clip.

My workaround was to go back to an earlier autosaved version and continue afresh (frustrating!) but I would really like to know how to avoid this in the future. Surely other people are having this issue too?

My setup is:

Macbook Pro 2017 running High Sierra

2.9 Intel i7

16 GB 2133 Mhz LPDDR3 RAM

Radeon Pro 560 4GB

Premiere Pro CC 2018

I'm having this same issue in june 2023. I move the project to a new drive and suddenly all my audio is out of sync.
