Question

Focus jumps from Timeline to Source or Program monitor

I have a brand new MacBook Pro M4, 48GB Memory, Sequoia 15.6.1 and am using the latest Premiere Pro 2025, and still it keeps happening that quite often I have the Timeline selected and the focus jumps from the Timeline to the Source or Program monitor without me doing anything.

 

The other thing is that when I select an item on the Timeline to work on it in the Program monitor, it often automatically jumps to a different item than the one I've just selected.

 

Not sure if the two issues are interconnected but any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hey there Geminidas,

Thanks for the post. Your issue sounds rather odd. A couple of things you can test. See if a new test project behaves the same way. If so, then reset preferences and see if that doesn't work for you. Let us know your findings. Sorry for the hassle.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
