Ability for Disable Program Monitor Zoom Settings

Please add the following settings
1. Ability to disable zoom on the program window or change mouse scroll wheel behavior. While scrubbing on the timeline with the mouse wheel it's prone to accidentally moving the cursor over the video and unintentionally zooming causing a frustrating experience.

2. Setting to disable the nodes on audio transitions in the sequence timeline. They make it more difficult to make edits in the timeline.

I was curious so downloaded the beta to see if was something that might be fixed in the next version. It's a no... same issue. 

 

Such a terrible feature that causes me so much grief daily!

 

Bizarre the adobe have no interest in fixing it. Guess it's time to ditch premiere....

Hi everyone,


I'm using Premiere Pro on a MacBook Pro 16" (2019), currently running macOS Sequoia 15.4. My current Premiere Pro version is 24.6.5, and everything works as expected.

 

Here's the issue:
In this version, when I add a clip to the project and open it in the Source Monitor, I can hover over the video and use a two-finger swipe on the trackpad to scrub through the clip (move forward/backward quickly through the timeline). This is a super useful feature for me.

 

However, in any newer version of Premiere Pro, this behavior breaks. When I try the same gesture — two-finger swipe on the trackpad while hovering over the Source Monitor — it triggers a zoom in/out of the image instead of scrubbing through the clip.

 

This makes navigation really frustrating.
Is there a way to bring back the original scrub behavior with the trackpad in the newer versions?

Thanks in advance!

HI there,

Thanks for the message and welcome to the forum. This sounds like it could be a bug. I will move your post to the bugs forum then. Thanks again and sorry for the problem.

 

Take Care,

Kevin

I just downloaded 25.2 and the first thing I did was to see if this was fixed. It doesn't look like it.

Only quick workaround for disable zoom option is "Shift+/" every time it zooms.

In the current Beta version, you need to press the Cmd/Ctrl key to enable Zoom with the scroll wheel.

Every so often I get an email notification about this thread and it gives me a chuckle. I've since moved on to Resolve. Free yourselves, my friends! 😂

Maybe they don't care? @Kevin-Monahan is there any update on getting this issue fixed?

Why would you have to restart the whole program? You just chose "fit" in the resize options and then it snaps back to original aspect. It's still annoying as heck and UNBELIEVABLE Adobe hasn't introduced the ability to disable this auto zoom feature after all time. But if you have to restart the whole programs something else is going on with your system.
