Merged Clips
I’m editing a narrative film which I am syncing audio that was recorded separately.
The sound files were multitrack wav files that contained 3 channels , two wireless and one boom.
I first synced the sound files with the video track… erased the original sound file that I used to sync my external sound… I then linked the 3 new sound tracks to the video track and copied those into their own folder to keep track of all those shots for that particular scene… when I copied those into a folder, premiere create MERGED files.
I cut my scene together with those merged files and now when I reopened the project the audio for two of the three tracks is missing?
I tried to REPLACE FOOTAGE and relink the audio file but the audio copied in out of sync. How can I fix this problem with my edited scene , is there anyway to get audio back into the placeholder files. How did it lose the files in the first place?
Also interested in everyones workflow in syncing external audio and how they prep those files for editing.

I’m in your same boat sort of.
I need the original source file names (adobe calls them component clips) for export to Pro Tools for audio mix.
I have one work around – which is to right click on each clip and open properties. Select the name you want as it shows the original path – then right click the clip again and select rename and paste the original name into it. It’s tedious as hell…worse than rotomonkey work, but I can’t afford an AE 🙂
Hope it might help or inspire a fix for you.
Cheers and Godspeed.
