Cursor Frame Behavior (Affecting In Out, Ripple Edits).

Ok team, I know you had some guy complain about how the Cursor works in the timeline, and now you changed how it works, which completely screwed over the Ripple Trim to Previous Edit.

What WORKED before yesterday was if you were on the front of a clip in the timeline, and you hit the Ripple Trim to Previous Edit, it would remove the first frame and obviously move the entire timeline up a frame to compensate.

THIS WAS INSANELY HANDY because if you're trimming a clip, you could just hit that button a few times and make it work right.

Now, because you guys changed how the cursor works, I have to hit Right on my keypad, and then hit the Ripple edit button, and it'll remove that first frame.

Guys, you seriously screwed over an entire generation of editos who know how editing works. I know some people complain about how the cursor works, but this sucks.

Why not just create a preference option where you can make the Cursor act like FILM or act like it is now. All NLEs were based on film editing, which lots of people expect and relied upon. Now, I have to hit an extra keystroke all the time which is massively time consuming.

Can you please just put in a preference option to revert back or not? That would solve this issue for everyone instead of bowing to people that don't understand NLE history.

Why the sudden change to such an important operation?
Doesn't anyone on the development team use Premiere pro?

Please fix this. I’ve reinstalled the older version until this is fixed. Losing this ability increases editing time greatly.

So I tried out the new version for a while and I got to thinking. Here's a fix that could please everyone that's a combination of the old and new ripple trim.

NEW: When doing a ripple trim in the middle of a clip, the new could remain the way it is where it doesn't trim the frame the playhead is on.

OLD: But then! When the playhead rests at the beginning of the clip, a ripple trim could then trim one frame at a time like the old behavior.

This seems ideal to me and would please both fans of the old behavior and the new behavior. People who liked the old behavior I don't think cared about 1 frame being cut off for ripple trims in the middle of a clip (I don't anyway). And people who like the new behavior won't care if pressing ripple trim at the beginning of a clip takes one frame away because they weren't using ripple trim that way anyway.

How did this happen? This is one of the most fundamental tools I needed to quickly cut interviews. I truly thought I was going insane so thank you for making this post. I have a lot of cutting to get through the next few days and I'm so frustrated that they made this change. I'm going to try and revert back to an older version for as many of these projects as possible. Hopefully we can get a response from Adobe regarding this.
