[Now released] STOP SWITCHING TO THE NEXT CLIP WHEN I'M TRYING TO MANIPULATE KEYFRAMES

This is super annoying. I create a keyframe, let's say a motion keyframe. Set it to 50. Then create another one, set it to 100 and put it at the end of the clip. Then I scroll to the second keyframe and suddenly, Premiere has switched me to the next clip in the timeline for some reason. This is so annoying. Even moreso when I'm using my mouse to move the scrubber around, sometimes it juts me all the way to the end of the timeline. I can't imagine a scenario where I would want this behavior.

Just adding my agreement, and wondering if this behavior is a bug, or if they thought this was something someone wanted? I don't understand in what way this would be useful.

Been bugging me for years. Have complained in the past in reports. I don't think the designers work with Premiere day-today or they would have come across this a trillion times over the years.

What we really need is an automatic Ken Burns effect in Premiere. If you’re like me, you spend a lot of time applying a small scale increase (zoom) to photos. Often times the scale isn’t set properly at the beginning so you see black bars. A “Ken Burns effect” would scale to fit the photo in the whole frame, then apply a small scale up effect. Saving tons of time for anyone who needs to work with stills in the timeline (or even video shots).

This is incredibly annoying and unclear why this would be a behavior, unless it is a bug.

Oh my god this, one million times this! I wonder if anyone at Adobe actually edits with their software sometimes.

@24 Louis Beranek: Amen to that. That's exactly right. Software should do what us paying users demand of it and not what a few people one day decided was a good idea. At the end of the day software should work for the end-users and not the other way around.

Already doing what you suggest Matt, yet it's still annoying as ****. Adobe should just fix this easy to fix thing and be done with it once and for all! And I disagree with your point that "the app is doing what it's supposed to do." What PP is "supposed to do" is work in a logical way that us paying editors need it to, not in poorly though out ways that Adobe programmers who never even use their own program imagine it should work.
