why are these timecodes being thrown off when someone passes me a project

Report · Sep 20, 2023

my friend passed me a premiere project file. when I opened it tonight it has venetian blinds all over the clips and all the timecodes are off again. and shes trying accuse me of being the problem. shes like well me and my buddy pass projects all the time and dont have this issue, must be you using proxies and/or transcription. I'm like BRO you're the one who made the project, and you didnt use any proxies or transcriptions, so this isnt a me issue. But this shouldnt be happening, whether were on different computers or external hard drives, i never had issues in previous years passing project files back and forth like this. if i open it in beta instead of normal premiere, the issue isnt there. but this needs to be fixed on normal premiere. i'm on Premiere 23.6.0 (build 65), mac OS 13.5.2. and i literally jsut wiped the computer and installed the OS from scratch this past week. so its not my computer that is the issue

@rachelcenter I'm sorry this is happening – it's likely an issue we have identified and fixed where in some cases if clips are transcribed and then relinked, you can get into this state.

To confirm if this is the issue and to work around it for now, could you install the Premiere Pro Beta version and open the original project there? You can find it in the Beta section on the left side of Creative Cloud. It's important that you open the original copy, not any version you have already opened and saved.

you wrote "could you install premiere pro beta"? please re-read the sentence in my paragraph where I wrote "if i open it in beta instead of normal premiere, the issue isnt there." let me go confirm with my buddy if she did created this timeline for me in a blank project or if she deleted everything in a project where transcription was already done, and then handed it back to me.

@rachelcenter I'm sorry I missed that you had already tried it in Beta. Those clips specifically that are out of sync would have to have been transcribed and have a transcript attached in the Text/Transcript panel if it is this issue we're talking about.

we need to fix this issue stat where all the timecodes are thrown off when we pass projects back and forth (if transcription was done in the project)

I think I'm having a similar issue except it's happening after transcribing a file instead of sharing a project file. Before I transcribed the file it looks normal in my timeline.

And notice the in point before transcription.

After transcription it's like the timecode of the file is completely off so like @rachelcenter said it looks like it has venetian blinds all over the clip.

And notice the timecode of the in point is completely different now.

As you might imagine my entire timeline is thrown off now as this clip appears in multiple places throughout. I've been looking for a way to delete the transcript but that doesn't seem to be an option. I found another thread that suggests re-transcribing the clip so I'm trying that. Maybe I need to roll back the version of Premiere that I'm on (24.0.0)? The only other option I guess would be to manually replace every edit in the sequence which will be a huge hassel. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

only current solution is to open the project in Premiere Beta.

I just tried opening it in Beta and the problem is still there.
