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 believe you can enable scrolling on the timeline by adjusting your scrolling preference from vertical to horizontal. Preferences > Timeline > Timeline Mouse Scrolling > Horizontal.

Looks like CNTRL does not modify scroll behavior - Being able to CNTRL scroll for zoom functionality while keeping the rest the same would be a great solution.

Everybody loves the new feature, no doubt about it. We just love the old feature also. Just because you got a new child it doesn't mean that you automatically remove and forget about the first one :)))

So yeah, normal scroll for the old behaviour and ALT or CTRL or SHIFT + scroll for the new behaviour would be great.

I love the new feature. Use it all the time now to check shots especially during finishing/compiling online shots. Never used the mouse to scrub the timeline but I guess a lot of people do that. Devs, please don't completely remove this feature, maybe Shift+Scroll for one function, and normal Scroll for the other? 🙂

My bad. You're right that scrolling is still limited to where the mouse is when you scroll. Sadly.

Again, Neil, that was not what I was talking about. Do you think I would've cried about some zoom bars?

Before you could scrub through the timeline by using the scroll wheel on the video in the program window. Now you zoom in and out.

We are talking about revert this behaviour OPTIONALLY. Some users will use the new zoom behaviour, and some will use the old scrubbing behaviour. That's what we are talking about here. All that developers have to do is put the removed code under a simple button, modifier key, or preferences option that toggle behaviours.

Program monitor, wrench menu. "Show scroll bars".

@R Neil Haugen 

1) I've updated to 25.0 and when I have my mouse over the video in the program window, the mouse scroll is zooming in and out and not moving the playhead. So I really don't understand what they added back but it wasn't what I was talking about. Maybe there is an option that I need to check? Went over the preferences a bit but didn't found anything there.

 

2) I do not assume anything as I mentioned before, I am 100% sure. Things worked in a way and then they've changed it without a warning and without the option to revert. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the After Effects style zoom, which will help me a lot with masking but I would have preffered both options with a modifier.

Also, with all do respect, Neil, I really, really appreciate you, but please do not tell me what and what not to do. I am a paying Adobe customer for over 10 years, I've put a lot of money in to Adobe's account and if I want to complain about their product, I think I am entitled to.

 

3) Ok, understood.

 

As always, thank you very much for your time and your answer.

1) They've already added back the option for scroll bars in the Program monitor. There isn't an issue there anymore ...

 

2) You seem to assume that most users work like you do. Lose that useless concept. Every frickin' one of us works differently, a total fascination for me in aisle discussions at NAB, various forums.

 

While for you and me, the scroll bars were of major use, for a ton of users, clearly, the ability to zoom and 'hand pan' in the program monitor is an absolute joy

 

Yea, go figure, but out of the several million daily users, I think you and me were not in the larger group. LIke the change in the timeline colors ... which the majority of users LOVED ... and me, well, not so much. But ah well.

 

3) Your assumptions about the lack of use by the devs aren't worth any more than your other ones. Having talked with many over the last decade, they are all passionate editors in their own time. However, like all other users, they all do different stuff, and do everything they do differently.

 

Just learn the truism ... everyone's mileage always differs.

 

And chill a bit. Please do post your thoughts and preferences, but lose assumptions about motivations. Useless.
