Graphics cut paste gone

Premiere 25.2.1 (build 2)

Mac Studio: 32GB, Sequoia 15.3.1

3 monitors

 

I frequently use graphic objects (white boxes) to mask portions of he presenters slides. [Graphics>New Layer>Rectangle]

Before this most recent update I could select the object on program screen, immediately see its handles, then use command C and command V to quickly duplicate it directly on top of itself. I could then modify the mask position, color, etc.

In this last update, that capacity seems to have disappeared. This now means if I want a second or third or fourth white box, I have to

  • select item in timeline,
  • go into the effects control panel for the object
  • locate and then copypaste the object
  • Then I return to my program monitor screen to select the outer limits of the box and move those to fit.

This takes about three times as long.

 

I see I can also right-click and duplicate. Still longer than my old method. If I do hundreds of these each day, it still adds up as too slow.

 

Can you please restore copypaste on Program monitor?

Hi everyone,

 

A fix is now available in the latest Beta builds, starting in build 25.3.0x63. When you can, please give the fix a try and let us know if it is working as you expect.

I was going to post that I'm having the same issue, but it seems that this is fixed in the beta. Hopefully it will roll out to stable sooner than later.

 

In the mean time, a slightly quicker workaround I've found is that if you copy a layer selected in the Program Monitor with Ctrl+C, you can paste/duplicate it by just clicking anywhere in the Properties panel (so it becomes the active panel), then hitting Ctrl+V. Then click back into the program monitor and continue. Still an extra annoying click but still.

 

It seems 'copy' function apparently works, it's the 'paste' that's the problem - it requires the properties panel to be activated to paste it. 

 

Like I said though it's fixed in the beta.

Hi @Bruce306x0,

 

Thanks for your report. We are aware of the issue and have a ticket open to investigate a fix. We will update this post when a fix in beta is available to try. In the meantime, you can roll back to 25.1 to continue in your workflow.

 

Thanks again!
