Question

JKL Editing, after hitting L the play head takes off without response

So Im editing in the new 2022, updated Geforce drivers (2070), 128 GB of RAM, i9 9900k...

 

It's a theater production... so there are a lot of times where I can just speed through a camera angle.

Typically use JKL editing here... but every other time I start the playhead, hit L L ... it just takes off without responding to either spacebar or K. It will run on for about 5-10 seconds not responding to any commands. 

 

Thoughts? Thanks!

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

Hi, did this help? I'm experiencing the same issues. Coming from Avid, this is infuriating. JKL seems completely broken - so I'm wondering if I'm missing something?

I'm running Big Sur, Premier Pro 23, and all my footage is transcoded to DNXHDLB.

I rely on editing by 'feeling', so without JKL i can't really do my job - very disappointed in Premier if this isn't something that's been totally fine tuned like in Avid.

Also - am I right that you can't press L (play) and then J (reverse) for an INSTANT reverse, instead it slows down? and you have to keep pressing J until it actually reverses?

Thanks for your help.

This is only hitting a few users, but hey, how cool, you're one of them!

 

And of course, you have all sympathy. On my computers, it's working exactly as designed, as it is for many. Which is a maddening thing, the variability between user performance at this point. I work also in Resolve, which is also getting some odd variability things.

 

As to JKL operation in Premiere, it is a bit different. You tap J or L to start playback, and if you tap the same one again you speed things up. To slow them down, you tap the opposite.

 

So hit L three times, want to get a bit slower, tap J once. Now you're only double speed.

 

To reverse you have to stop with the K key or tap the reverse key enough times to get 'past' the present motion.
