Transforming clips using mouse/trackpad

New update has removed the ability to resize/transform using the trackpad. I.e. I have always been able to expand/rotate a clip by pinching/zooming on my trackpad but now that feature is completely gone. This is really frustrating and adds time to my work unnecessarily. Please bring this back.

Nothing to do with my trackpad before anyone says - works fine in and out of PP e.g. resizing timeline is fine, and no issues outside of the app. Have tried all troubleshooting options.

      Hi ​@KatieToo 
      Having the exact same issue—whether using the built-in trackpad on my MacBook or an external Magic Trackpad connected via Bluetooth to my Mac Studio, the behavior is identical. My trackpad works normally everywhere else, but inside the Program Monitor, I can no longer pinch-to-zoom (expand/collapse) clips. However, I can still use two-finger panning to adjust the zoom level inside the Program Monitor. I had rotation turned off beforehand to avoid accidental gestures, so I'm not sure if that still works after the update.

      Here are the details requested:

      • Setup/OS: macOS Golden Gate 27.0.1 (tested on both MacBook Pro with M3 Pro and Mac Studio with M5 Max)

      • Media Files: MP4 video

      • Project Size: Affects all projects, including a brand new project with just a single MP4 clip.

      • Media Storage: Scratch disks are set to a dedicated scratch folder on the same drive.

      • Scope: Affects all projects.

      • Last Working Version: Last worked fine in Premiere 2025; the issue started immediately after updating to Premiere 2027.

      • Plugins: Using Maxon plugins (not currently on the latest version).

      Hi ​@default09cp9cuxansn 

      Thanks for stopping by the Premiere forums and giving us those details about the trackpad issue you’re having. We’d like to get some more details to better help troubleshoot this.

      With the new update, you mean v27 Premiere correct? Just wanted to confirm that.
      The below questions just give us an idea of your setup:

      • Setup/OS: Please specify Windows 11/10 or Mac, plus what macOS, along with driver version/build.
        • GPU Driver version/build(Windows only): We recommend updating to the most recent version; for NVIDIA users, we strongly recommend the Studio version of the driver.
        • Mac Chip (Mac Only): what M-series chip? If Intel, please include GPU.
      • Media Files: video, images, etc. and what types (can check under Media Properties)
      • Project Size: About how big is your project file? Is it in a Production or Multicam? Approximately how many clips are involved in a rough estimate
      • Media Storage: Are your Scratch Disks set to your Documents folder or the same as project, and is this the same as the Media drive?


      Also, please let us know the following for helpful context:

      • Does it affect all projects or only some? What about new projects with a few sample clips?
      • Do you recall which Premiere this was last working in, when It started, and what might have changed? Any plugins, OS update, drivers, etc.
      • Are you also using third party plugins and/or extensions, and if so, which ones and are they currently up to date?
         

      Screen Recording: If possible, include a recording of your screen showing the issue as that’s helpful.

       

      Then we can narrow down what might have happened with those details and start from there.
      Hope to help!
      Katie
