      6 years later and Premier Pro still lacks this ability. Will need to add it to the requested features. 
      Essentially if you are not nesting eveything eveytime you will run into this issue one day.

        I thought he was wanting to add a "soundtrack" to an edited video - not replace synced sound. My methods will do the former, not the latter

        Fascinating. I had to read this several times before I agreed with Jim. Tim will have to let us know what he intended. But his second post points to his trying to replace the audio in the ORIGINAL clip, not the edited product:

        The "its" appears to refer to the video clip: "...And I want to replace its audio with a wav file while maintaining the edits i made."

        As to why that matters rather than just replacing the final, it could be that the second audio he has needs the same cuts etc as the video.

        We may need a little more info. Are you just adding to or changing the audio? If so you can either do that in the sequence itself by adding new tracks and muting the originals that you no longer need. Or you could place the edited sequence in a new sequence and mute that audio and add in the new audio. That would have the advantage that you would not accidentally change the edit.

        To give more detail, I have a sequence that contains a video that has some cuts, trims, effects, etc. The edits are on the clip not the sequence itself.

        My problem is how do i retain the splices, trims, and effects when i plan to only update the audio of the video. In sense I firstly edited a .mp4 video. And I want to replace its audio with a wav file while maintaining the edits i made.

        Thanks for the reply brian

        So either of the above methods will work. You can also lock the video tracks in the current sequence so they will not move. The advantage of using the current sequence is that you can see the layout of your edits. The advantage of using a nested sequence would be that you could be sure of not changing anything in the work you have done.
