never seen this behavior.    Do you have any media stored online such as dropbox, icloud, etc?  If so, that could be the problem and it's never a good idea to work this way.   Unless you've invested in a cloud based shared media solution, this is not a practical way to work ... View more

an edl should reference BOTH source timecodes and Sequence timecode.  How did you get this edl?  The formatting of edl's can be a little daunting.  I suggest you edit a clip or 2 into a sequence and export an edl and see what it looks like.   You might want to add the edl to this thread and I'll see if it's setup properly.  Spent many many years building edl's for online video edits...   ...

wondering if there could be a permissions issue on the "dropbox" folder.  I mainly work on a mac, saving my project files to a local folder which automatically syncs to dropbox without any issues. So I'm not familiar with how windows handles permissions.    Maybe try relocating the dropbox folder to your startup drive...  And just another thought:  is anyone else logged on to dropbox at the same time you're seeing this issue...  ...

but in some circumstances, render and replace is the way to go.  It locks in the "render" so that you won't lose the render if you accidentally change any parameters for the clips and if I remember correctly, you can move the clip around, etc.  So it might make sense to investigate this further to see why this is not working.    ...

Here's my workflow.  I save all my premiere pro projects in a folder that automatically backs up to dropbox.   The dropbox interface is not always intuitive, but once mastered is pretty much fool proof.  Because I subscribe to dropbox (with the adobe discount) I get access to all versions of the project for the last 30 days...    If you need any help with this workflow, post back.  That said, it's always a smart idea to doublecheck that your backup and autosave projects everyonceinawhile.   ...

as I said "intermittent and unpredictable."  The consensus is that you should convert to a constant frame rate...  Also, I strongly recommend Shutter Encoder which gives you more control and you can choose to transcode to an all "i-frame" format such as prores which although the file sizes will be much bigger, will make for easier smoother editing.  If you have any questions, post back ...

I select the active sequence in the timeline named for example assy1, click on reveal in project in the hamburger menu, and then choose duplicate sequence.  I then rename the original sequence, updating the 1 to a 2 so I have the sequence I want to work on already loaded in the timeline.   Hope that makes sense, it's been a long day. ...

first, much smarter to convert to a mezzanine format like prores rather than an mpeg format like mp4.  But that may not be the source of your issue.  Make sure your converted file matches the mts file for frame rate and starting timecode.   ... View more

Thanks Kevin, a great resource ... View more

well thanks for nothing... (just kidding).  Downloaded the videos, dropped them in a timeline (so the sequence settings matched) adjusted the synch and then used the vimeo 720 preset (so the audio was 48k) to export.  Reuploaded to youtube and everything seems ok (at least so far).  A pain because you can't replace videos which I guess is partly to keep the number of views accurate.  Fortunately (or not) the videos did not have a lot of views.  But was able to delete the preexisting videos from the playlist and put the new versions on the playlist...  I've left the preexisting videos on youtube in case anyone has a direct link to them.   The client didn't think the synch issue needed to be fixed, but I couldn't live with it being about 8 frames out of synch.  So I didn't charge him...  fool that I am.   He's a good client so forgive the whining.   ...
