Markers not scaled properly when clip duration changed

Marker positions are not scaled properly when clip duration is changed: when I add markers to a clip and then add it to the timeline, I expect to be able to snap other clips, or the play head, to those marker points when snapping is enabled. This has worked properly in PP for many years.

The problem I have encountered is when the clip is sped up by, for example, changing the speed to 120% in the Speed/Duration dialogue, the marker icons are also scaled and moved to where they should be on the sped up timeline (good), but the actual snapping point in the clip (shown as a thin vertical line in the Source Monitor) seems to have not been scaled properly and becomes offset from the marker. The result is that trying to snap other clips to the marked points in the sped up clip no longer works properly.

See the attached image: this is the sped up clip viewed in the Source Monitor. The pink arrow points to my blue marker which is where I want it to be after the speed change. The yellow arrow shows the line that things snap to and should also be where the marker! They are linked - if I move one with the mouse, the other moves with it!


This refers to Adobe Premiere Pro Version 25.1.0 (Build 73)

I have seen this on two Windows 11 x64 24H2 machines. The one I'm writing the bug report from is build 26100.3194. Intel 14th Gen and RTX 4070 GPU, 96GB DDR5 memory, internal NVMe SSD.

Happy to provide further explanation / screenshots etc as needed!

    @geoffco,

     

    Upvoted. I can replicate as follows (using source monitor or not):

    Win 10; PR Beta 25.3.0.3.

     

    Clip is 1920x1080 29.97 mp4 2:37:13, but I'm only looking at the first bit.

    Drag to new icon to create a sequence.

    Add a clip marker at 20 seconds (of the clip and the sequence). (I tried with clips that had markers added with XMP on and then off, and with clips added in the session. No difference.)

    Add a bit of text so you have something in the sequence to drag.

    Right-click the clip and Speed/Duration and make it 50%.

    The marker, as expected, is at 40 seconds.

    When you drag the text item, it does not snap at the 40 second marker, but snaps at 20 seconds (where there is nothing to snap to).

    Hi,

    Here is some further information:

    • Video format: I can replicate this with almost anything - video from Nikon Z9, video from DJI Osmo Pocket 3, .mp3 and .wav audio files.
    • Workflow details: Super simple single-thread sequence - seems to be a general bug in the way markers are handled by the Speed/Duration tool
    • Steps to reproduce - (Very important!)
      1)       Open a clip in the source monitor and add some markers.
      2) Place the clip on a timeline and speed it up using the Speed/Duration to 120%.
      3) Try to 'snap' something else (another clip) to one of the markers.       
    • Expected result - Clips should still snap to the markers which should have moved to their equivalent points in the sped up clip.
    • Actual result - Clips do not snap to the indicated marker positions (the icons for which do move to the right places). The 'snapping' point is still the original poistion of the marker in time. e.g. I have a 30s clip with a marker at 10s, I speed it up to 200%. Now the maker icon has moved to 5s in the now 15s long clip, but the position that things can snap to is STILL at 10s. Interestingly, in the source monitor, the 'move to previous marker' works correctly, but in audio files, where a line is also shown for markers, these are now clearly offset from one another.

    Hope this helps!

    Cheers, Geoff
