P: Alt+ Scroll zoom behaves different on v24.4.0

Updated to latest version 24.4.0 and the Alt+ scroll zoom behaves different. It zooms to a totally different timeline area than the usual mouse pointer/playhead. Any workarounds?

Correct answer Trent Happel

Sorry for the wait, but we believe this issue should now be addressed in 24.6 beta build 020. Alt + mouse wheel scroll should zoom based on cursor location. Appreciate all the feedback.

In the 24.4.1 version of Premiere Pro the Alt+scroll funtionality in timeline does not work correctly. Instead of zooming in/out on the timeline at the point where the cursor is located, the timeline instead zooms towards the center of the timeline.

Steps:

1. Open a project

2. Hover over the timeline with the mouse cursor

3. Hold down Alt and use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in or out

What should have happened: The timeline should be zoomed towards the point where the cursor is located.

What actually happens: The timeline zooms towards the center of the timeline, no matter where the cursor is located.

This affects my workflow greatly, because making fine adjustments to the clips on the timeline is now an absolute nightmare (I am not exaggerating), so I'd appreciate a quick fix.

My system is Windows 10, and I'm using Logitech MX Master 3 mouse.

Upon a bit more testing I noticed it doesn't actually scroll towards the center of the timeline, but rather the reference point for zooming is offset to the left of the cursor by a considerable amount. In any case, this is still a problem.

how can i desable this zoom over source or program window, it is so annoying, espacialy with magic mouse, either let us zoom only when mouse in over the video scrren (and not next to) better is to have the choice to zoom only with alt+scroll or the possibility to lock the zoom factor. Before i coult scroll the video when the mouse was over the video or next to without to point just on th time section. So please let change this

@Trent Happel 

Cannot reproduce in 24.3 both with 100 and 150 % (recommended).

But on the other hand the beta (build 48) is misbehave both 100 and 150%.

Ahhh, good info, Stan. In my case, I was setting under System > Display > Scale and 100% was recommended. I will update my prior responses and also pass this on to the team.

@Trent Happel,

 

Past discussions of Scaling issues have been complicated by the 2 scaling options in Windows. My standard setup is Windows scaling set to 150% (of the % options, 150% says "recommended") and "Advanced scaling settings" NOT set. The advanced option prompt says "Enter a custom scaling size between 100% to 500% (not recommended)

 

It is the Advanced scaling that has been a problem in the past.

 

I tested with the "regular" scaling set to 100% and 150%, and with Release 24.3 (no 24.4 for me yet), Beta 24.5.0.16 and, after update, Beta 24.5.0.43. I see no differences based on scaling.

 

The behavior I see in 24.3 is that the zoom is around the mouse cursor position, not the CTI position/frame on screen. It appears to zoom around the CTI if the mouse cursor position is over the CTI. In Beta 24.5.0.16 and Beta 24.5.0.43, it only zooms around the CTI if the mouse cursor position is some distance TO THE RIGHT of the CTI. But it is not simply zooming around the mouse cursor position, nor the CTI.

 

I did get a Windows update in the last few days:

Windows 10 Pro
Version 22H2
OS build 19045.4412
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19056.1000.0
