Hi Pierre,

The only fix I found was the preventative one I described in my previous post: to use the Clip > Audio Options > Breakout to Mono function to separate stereo audio rather than Modify > Audio Channels > Mono Track Format. Doing this before syncing your clips seems to preserve the audio after a save and restart.

Unfortunately I haven’t found any way to fix clips already synced using the Audio Channels method. Maybe try contacting Adobe and see what they have to say about the issue?

Tried using the Clip > Audio Options > Breakout to Mono to separate the stereo track instead of the Modify > Audio Channels > Mono Track Format, and it’s not killing the audio for the merged clips after saving and restarting premiere. My guess is that Premiere was having trouble indexing the audio files after a restart using the latter method, but as the former names the new files separately and links them to the master clip it must be able to keep track of the data.

…or something.

Anyway, thanks again for your help. I’ve got me some resyncing to do.

Hi Vince,

Just tried deleting the media cache folder and I’m still having the same issue. Out of curiosity I took the files I was merging and nested them as a sub-clip sequence, saved and restarted premiere, and the problem was not present. So it seems to have something to do with the way Premiere is handling specifically merged files (or specifically these merged files), but what that is exactly I’m not sure yet.

Thanks for your help.
