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 have Premiere 22.1.2 which I use on a daily basis because this was one of the best, most stable versions. I also have 24.6.1 to open newer projects that I received from my colleagues. The fact that I could move the timeline by scrolling over the video in the program windows was a big part of my workflow for years. I have selection follows playhead turned on so I am scrolling till the next shot, double click, resize the shot, reposition the shot, scroll to the next shot. It's important for me to be able to do it on the video and not move my pointer down to a small area and then move it back.

Is really mind blowing for me that they replace a feature without the option to keep the old one. Like they did with the export panel.

I am 100% sure that the people who are developing Premiere do not work in and / or do not frequenly use Premiere.

Sometimes I get the feeling that they are looking for smart ways to troll us and to push us to quit using their software.

Is that all effort developers can make? Bring back scroll bars back? Really? We are talking here about a whole begaviour about mouse scrolling on program monitor, not just "showing scroll bars". I understand that you didnt read all this thread and don't have an idea about what we are complaining about...

Actually, yes, I did. I even downloaded the latest 25.1 beta and went through every preference screen and hidden context menu I could find. Nada.

 

This thread has nothing to do with scroll bars in the program monitor. This is about functionality that changed in 24.4 where using the scroll wheel on the program or source monitor panels now zooms the video instead of scrubs the timeline. This is an idea thread asking Adobe to consider options to help mitigate a change that is very disruptive to how some people use their software.

Apparently you didn't actually, like, check anything?

 

As that was changed in the 25.x public beta a month ago, and is a 'normal' part of the program now that it's the main shipping version.

 

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

25.0 version and still no news about an option to revert this "feature". It seems that adobe developer team suffer too much burocracy.

I downgraded to 24.3 to get the old behavior back because this change is too disruptive for the way I work. Now I'm getting notifications about new features in 25.0 and there's still no way to revert to the behavior I'm used to. Saying the 'solution' is to retrain years of muscle memory to now aim for a significantly smaller scroll target with incredibly annoying consequences if I miss, is a super lousy feeling.

 

Like, okay, things change, cool... if this is the new default, rad, but please, please, please give me a way to either choose the previous behavor, or disable scroll wheel zooming entirely because that's never what I want on the monitor panels.

Hi - Me and the team I work with enjoy being able to move footage around in the program page while keyframing is enabled. We scroll through the footage while our mouse is over the Program page which allows us to Scroll > Move footage > scroll > move footage, along the clip. Now with this new functionality, this workflow has added steps to it which make the process take far more time. 

 

Please give us the ability to define mouse functions ourselves. I don't doubt that the Mousewheel zoom on the program monitor is useful for many, but give us the ability to /choose/.

Big + 1 to switch this 'new' function off. Incredibly annoying and makes you wonder who thought this would be a good idea.

+1 for the ability to turn this 'feature' off.
