Ah, disaster

Nothing like making some edits to a scene only to discover you've killed the audio sync for 90% of the movie.

Let me pose a question to you, Adobe. Your ripple edit is a powerful tool and behaved as designed, but do you really think someone making a small change to one clip really expects two hours of footage and hundreds of clips to be pulled out of audio sync in doing so? It's not wrong, but is it right?

The fix was relatively simple since only one video track was affected, although the whole affair was rather stressful. Of course it happened after I'd been thinking how oddly well things had been going. In general, despite my initial frustrations, Premiere has been a powerful and useful tool. Now if only it would stop rendering my computer unable to emit sound every now and then...
