Update: This issue is being addressed in our Beta releases and will be available in a future stable release. You may download the Beta build from the Creative Cloud Desktop app. Please refer to this link to know more about Beta apps.

 

We are investigating an issue with Premiere Pro v14.5 wherein undocking panels or splitting workspace across multiple monitors might cause a few features to not work.
These are:

  • Keyboard shortcuts not working.
  • Drag & Drop functionality not working for the clips on the timeline.
  • In a few cases moving media clips to a different track on the timeline causes the media/asset to get duplicated in the project bin.

Workaround to fix these issues is to dock the panels or use any of the default Workspaces under the menu Window > Workspaces. If you have modified any of the default workspace, you may reset it under Window > Workspaces > Reset to Saved Layout.
Hope it helps.

Correct answer Dominic Witherow

Ditto exactly!

My setup has 2 monitors to work within and a third to monitor at full resolution. 'Delete/Clear' buttons not working, dragging anything in the Project panel not working. All fixed by switching to an Adobe preset workspace and then switching back to my custom workspace.

My solution that somehow works:

  1. (Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout)
  2. Change to some different standard Workspace
  3. Then back to mine

When I close and reopen Premiere however all is lost again... 😕😕

How embarassing that this passed your quality assurance. Very disappointing. Huge dealbreaker for workflow.

I'm having the same issue with docked panels as well. I've got a 3 monitors configuration and my project panel is on monitor number 2. I can't drag and drop assets within the panel, nor from folder to folder, can't playback from source monitor and all my keyboard shortcuts don't work at all when on monitor 2. This is extremely frustrating, not to mention how much it's affecting my workflow. Any ideas?

An alternative workaround is to close your undocked window(s), then use Reset to Saved Layout, and everything works again.

Ah, so the new fling you met online had a bunch of issues that made your life difficult, so you had to go running back to the ex.

 

I get it and have been there myself.
