A 20-minute MP4 video is edited down to a 1-minute final cut.
Later, the sound designer provides a cleaned and enhanced 20-minute WAV file. (Using the full 20-minute audio is preferable as it enables future re-edits without requiring the sound designer again.)
Current Solutions:
Re-edit the video with the new audio file from scratch. Unrealistic and time-consuming.
Re-export the source video as ProRes with the new WAV file, then replace footage. Cumbersome and error-prone.
Duplicate sequence with media, replace the video file with the new audio file to retain cuts, and copy-paste the updated edits into your original timeline for seamless audio replacement. Cumbersome and time-consuming
Proposed Solution
#1. Drag-and-Replace Matching Audio: Allow users to Alt-drag the full 20-minute WAV file over the existing edited audio cuts. Premiere Pro would replace the audio seamlessly, maintaining the edited in-and-out points, instead of resetting to the beginning of the 20-minute file per cut.

Hi, my approach will be to export WAV file from mp4, and import back in premiere and make my edit with video from mp4 and audio from this exported wav. In any moment when I receive "enhanced " WAV file I will relink my audio and I'm ready.
