[Moderator: This thread was originally titled "Premiere Pro 24.4 Program Monitor Scrolls". It's been updated to make this thread easier to find. We appreciate - and are listening to! - your feedback on scrolling / panning in the Program Monitor]

 

I just noted after the 24.4 update, My source & Program monitor up & down rollers/scrolls on the sides just vanished or missing. Not sure if this still part of the zoom in, zoom out or use of hand tool new updates which has cause this to be removed or a bug - but, kindly let me know if anyone has experienced this issue. The screengrab below.

Hi, @csscms, @Ann Bens,

quote

@Mike McCarthy OK but why does Premiere have to be different from other Adobe apps for the same function? Premiere is part of a suite of apps, it's your strength!

 

Mike is an Adobe Expert, not an employee. He's a colleague in the forums here, an editor like you. Sorry for the confusion.

 

Cheers,
Kevin

The Feature: Continuous Pan and Zoom is absolutely not an upgrade. I'm spending so much time trying to zoom in on one spot of the frame and the pan and zoom function just won't cooperate. It used to take me a second or two to zoom in on a spot I wanted, now it takes at least a minute, and that's even if I can manage do get the function to work properly at all. 

 

This was a mis-step by Adobe I feel because it just slowed my productivity and gave me yet another reason to start looking at other programs.

I wanted to bump this thread again. I've been able to kind of work around this issue with the monitor zooming in from the scroll wheel, but it is still incredibly time consuming and annoying in my opinion. I'd love to see an option to disable this feature.

I have been using Premiere Pro for a while and since the last update I cnnot just zoom in on a clip in the editing panel and move it around with my mouse to make a mask more precise. I can only zoom in on the clip with the mouse scrolling but it will stay centred and I cant move the image around so I can mask a certain area of that clip. I have tried everything and for the life of me I cant figure it out! I use to have scroll tabs on the side of the editing window so I could move the image around but they are not there anymore. Please help! Is driving me crazy and I really need these masks to be precise for this stop motion video for a client!

Hey there!

 

If the problem is to center or focopointing the Time Line monitor on a 1600% zoomed in detail (my main problem at first sight), you have to use the hand tool icon from now on to move the screen to the right position.

 

If that's not the problem? Sorry, but there you are I suppose...

Yeah you're absolutely right. I've been adjusting by switching between the pointer and the hand tool to move around the frame. It's cumbersome though, and adds like.... 4x the amount of keystrokes and clicks that I would initially make in the same project. Again - these "improvements" or "feature additions" are very tiresome

I agree!!

How about implementing a fast scrolling through the cursor  tool pointers function using a key stroke and the mouse wheel for the next upgrade?


That would be great and save a lot of time. A LOT of time.


A lot of people using the CC-suite are contractors working  on deadlines and charging by the hour, so time is litterary money and could be the difference of making a deadline or not.

 

Thinking of all the new fantastic features over the past years it seems like a small and simple thing to do, but sometimes small and simple things can be crucial...


Take care everyone!

ADOBE please let us out of this mouse scroll zoom in the Program window. My Magic mouse and fat fingers are driving me crazy! 

 

I've added a keyboard shortcut for "Zoom monitor to Fit" to be able to quickly get my monitor back after I've zoomed around the universe with my magic mouse! lol

hello, you get a thumbs down. 👎 👎 👎  Until you fix or add the ability to scroll playback on the monitor screen instead of zooming. If it doesn't happen for a long time. I will stop using Adobe Premiere pro and switch to DaVinci. 🤬

new version is changing scale of the program monitor if i accidentally touching the scroll button

working with apple mouse became very annoying

seems like premier is too sensitive to touch of the "scroll" area I was constantly dealing with rapid movements through timeline, now it adds the rapid changes in the preview of program monitor window and source window

I do have mac and 3 button mouse, but panning around with holding 3rd button does not work. we all have to press H to see small hand and than we can execute 🙂 i hope ADOBE will fix this with next update.

You are A LIFESAVER!!!! I did not know about the H button! Now that the scrollbars are gone, I was struggling soooooo hard with creating my masks in Premiere. Thanks for mentioning it!
