Horizontal scrolling speed

Hello,

is there a way to adjust horizontal scrolling speed (shift+scrollwheel)? In default settings I find it unusable slow.

And by the way, is there a way to search just one forum here?

Regards,

- Lauri

Correct answer _durin_

Hi lauri,

I get it.  When zoomed in and scrolling horizontally in the waveform view (either using a scroll wheel that supports horizontal scrolling or by holding SHIFT while scrolling up/down) you would like the step size for each "click" of the wheel to be larger so that you can scroll more quickly.  There's no preference for this at this time, though I'll be happy to put in a feature request to accomodate this.  As a workaround for now, you can click on either side of the orange "view" box in the waveform preview above the ruler, or grab the orange box and drag it where you would like to view more quickly.

I've recorded a video how to finally fix this by your self using autohotkey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04enQZ1Yqig

After a couple of months I still cant get used to grabing the top box in the upper corner and I still scroll sometimes with Shift key like a mad man instead of zooming out (because of habits) and every single time I scroll I am thinking why it wasnt implemented. Not enough people complaining? I dont think this would have solved the problem.

The only workaround Ive found is using the middle mouse button to drag the timeline left or right with the hand tool.

That being said I would still really appreciate a fix for this. Especcialy since I'm so used to scrolling with the mouse wheel in Premiere.

Here's a possible solution for those who have or are prepared to have a Logitech MX Master 3 mouse.

 

The scroll wheel on the top ( big blue arrow ) has two mechanical behaviors.

It can work either in "click" mode or "freerunning"

The second smaller blue arrow shows the location of a button which toggles that mode.

By using the "freerunning" mode and suitably adjusting the Scrolling Speed ( red box )

you can whizz along the timeline.

 

 

How to:

Use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out fluidly

Use shift scroll wheel to whizz along the timeline

 

Best of all: the Logi Options app allows you to set these types of preference on an app by app basis.

See top right red box on the above image.

 

 

 

Best regards, Euan.

Can't believe this fix has been 10 years in the making...
Get your act together Adobe! It's not like we're paying for this or anything

This thread is saddening. I came online looking for a way to horizontal scroll faster, and came across this thread which just made me realise what a bad decision audition is. 
It might come off as a minor nitpick to adobe, but it's a horrible inconvenience as evidenced by all the replies. And as someone said, we're about to hit a decade of this thread being started and still not actually being addressed by adobe.
We had a good run (not really) audition. Take care!

Are we throwing a 10 year birthday party for this feature request next year? 🙂

There should at least be a hand tool added in the future to make scrubbing back and forth easier.
