P: Unable to freely move clips and audio around on my timeline. Glitch, bug or setting?

Thankyou this worked for me

Thank you, this worked for me!

I've been using Premier Pro for years without this issue but suddenly I'm unable to drag anything at all within the system. I've tried resetting preferences, restarting the program, and I've trawled Reddit for an answer but no luck.

I'm able to drag items when I move the window over to my laptop monitor but suddenly can't drag anything at all when the window is open on my second monitor regardless if the window is full size.

Is there some hidden setting somewhere that would prevent things from dragging when the window is on a second monitor?

HI all,

reasonably experienced hack user of several years here.

I updated to the latest version (PP25.1) and now find that when I create a new project I cannot drag and drop my media from the project (or sequence) windows into a timeline.

I can select the file but when I try to drag it over to the timeline window my mouse turns into a red circle with a line through it - as though I am trying to do something prohibited.

Steps I have already taken to address:

1 - I deleted the original project and started againa from scratch

2 - I erased my media cache

3 - I restarted again

4 - I searched for a solution on google and youtube for hours - but everyone keepsa saying to toggle the v1/a1 switches but I don't have any switches to toggle - there needs to be a sequence for there to be any v1/a1 switches.

5 - I've checked my settings but there is nothing unusual or odd about anything.

6 - my source media files are not corrupt and are working fine when played back in the source window (as well as when played back using other mediums such as MS Video player).

Suggestions and help would be appreciated.

But please keep it simple - video editing is not my day job.

Hello community, 

I have a problem with the selection tool:

if I'll drag a clip, it moves it to an other track (the trackselection, blue V, makes no difference) and a random place.

if I'll drag a adjustment layer it makes the same, but also copy the clip and leaves the original untouched.

video attached shows some of the problems

Can you help me?

While I haven't found a "fix", I did stumble across a work-around. I'm assuming you're working on 2 monitors and the extension monitor is where your workspace is?

In Display Settings on your computer, set the second monitor as the primary display and keep working on the second monitor. For some reason, having the second monitor as a secondary display throws off where the cursor picks up things in the workspace.

Hi there, many of us have encountered the same issue. The problem is a bug and Adobe is working on it. It seems that everyone who has this issue is working with a multi-monitor setup, and if you disconnect all but one display, it works again. I know this is really inconvenient but it's the only workaround I have found so far that enables me to continue using Pr until Adobe gets it fixed. Hope this is helpful!
