An option to revert the Mouse scroll change Program Monitor

In the latest 24.4 version of Premier Pro, you can zoom in and out by mouse-scrolling on the program monitor.

This is good for those who want to add effects precisely but not for editing at a fast speed

 

I really hope there's a way to revert the change so my productivity goes back to 100%

I do like the new zoom in and out.

but using the middle mouse for moving around the frame is a pita.

Changing to the Handtool instead is not ideal. Maybe a modifier?

Dear Adobe this is not what we want! Please add an option in the preferences to enable or disable the zoom function. Additionally, consider implementing zoom functionality using the Alt+Scroll combination if needed.There is no positive feedback and also what happen in the timeline where the playhead stay in the middle during play and the timeline is following?? this is also so annoying. Please also let this be a option in preferences!

As several users suggested: activating the zoom option only when pressing Ctrl (or Alt) would be much better.

This feature is very annoying. Please make an option in the program panel to turn off mouse zoom in/out! It's driving me crazy on Apple Magic Mouse.

It's a fair concept - scroll on the monitor itself and it zooms and scroll on the scrub bar and it scrubs.

The problem is, the amount of time editors are spending doing the required 'zoom in' work vs just straight cutting and scrolling, is minimal in my observation. As a result, I'm going to guess based on my workflow and my teams workflow, that we use the zoom feature less than 4% of the time. The other 96% requires the scroll behavior to be on the monitor as it was before the update.

Now, yes the behavior is still there on the scrub portion, but the problem is it's such a small space to put your mouse - and the extra time / focus it takes to accurately put our mouse there is already costing us a 1 hours a day with a team of 4. That's 15 minutes of time added to a shift that a customer has to pay for - why ? Because slamming our mouse over the program monitor for the scroll function was so much EASIER because it was so MUCH BIGGER.

Again, I see 2 options.

1. Either revert it or make a checkbox on the program monitor that enables the zoom function or disables it and enables the scroll function. Easy. 

2. Make it so that if we move our mouse to the Video Layers part of the timeline itself, it scrolls as it used to in the program monitor. Make it so that if we move our mouse in to the Audio part of the timeline itself, it scrolls the timeline window as it already does.

This would massively cut down on mouse movement and save time. Again, what you guys implemented is a cool idea, but it's just not used enough on a daily 8 hour shift to make it more cool than what it was before. This would be so much cooler to just have a Zoom/Scroll toggle on the monitor window so we can choose the behavior we want, WHEN we want it.

Good catch, thanks Ann! And thanks for posting your own clarification here…

Minor detail: the red area above FIT does not scrub but rather zooms.

We appreciate your feedback! The new Scroll to Zoom behavior was added to ease the process of doing detailed title editing, motion graphics keyframing, and image examination when troubleshooting for artifacts and other visual issues.

 

Based on early positive feedback, we felt comfortable introducing this new behavior as the original scroll-to-jog behavior remains available in the area above the scrub bar at the bottom of the Program Monitor. In the process, this enables two behaviors without needing to obscure either functionality behind keyboard modifiers. 

 

We understand that changing existing UI can be frustrating, but encourage you to try using the new scroll-to-jog target area (highlighted in red in the image below), to see if it's able to meet your needs.

 

These features will continue to evolve as we have more plans for refining these sorts of in-monitor behaviors, so we value your opinion and look forward to hearing what you think after continued use. In the meantime, if there's a specific workflow you'd like to share with us, it would be valuable to get more information about how you've used scroll-to-jog in the past.

When I used to hover my mouse over the program window and scroll, it would go through the video one frame at a time for ever scroll wheel tick. Now when I do that it changes the zoom level. This is super annoying because it makes presise timeline actions much more time consuming.

 

When I opened premiere today a bunch of my settings were messed up. I managed to fix all the other issues, but I cant seem to figure out how to fix this. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi @The Dank Memer,

I think I understand your message. I aim my Selection tool to the Time Ruler and then scroll. There you can scrub the way you used to. If you would like to have a way to lock the resolution of the Program Monitor, that would be a feature request. If you make it, I'll surely upvote! Sorry for the frustration. 

 

Thanks,
Kevin

Adobe give us the option. This change has caused hours of research to even figure out how and why this happened and figure out a work-around. This is NUTS

I'm in this boat also.

I understand we 'could' hover the mouse over the program monitor scroll timeline, but that extra bit of having to 'work' on aiming right is time consuming over the long run. There's two ideas:

1. Make the zoom an optional setting, so we can have what we want back.
2. Allow us to change the behavior of the timeline itself, where we could scroll while hovering over the timeline and it would behave as we want. Personally I think it would be super cool is the scrolling the timeline itself vs scrolling the playhead was a feature acting like this - if you scroll in the Video layer section, it scrolls the playhead. If you scroll in the Audio layer section, it scrolls the timeline as usual. I think that would be epic and save us a ton of time.
