P: Clip Nudging broken after drag & drop in 24.4

Can anyone else reproduce this issue? Is it an issue on Mac as well?

 

Selected clips won't nudge (ALT + arrow key) after being draged & dropped.

 

  1. Select a clip in your sequence
  2. Drag the selected clip to a new point in time, or to a new track
  3. Try to nudge the clip using ALT and any of the arrow keys

 

The clip that still looks (and should be) selected, and is in the Sequence pane which itself is still active (bordered) should move.

 

But it doesn't move at all. It behaves as if it's not selected. It still looks selected.

 

Nudging is not the only thing affected. I have keyboard shortcuts setup to allow me to change the color of the selected clip and those don't work either. The clip behaves as if it's not selected. Nudging was the first thing I noticed, though, as I commonly time shift clips, splice them with CTRL+K, and use Alt+Up to move them, and this workflow is now broken.

To get back to the intended functionality, if you click on the "selected" clip, nothing visually changes, but now you should regain the ability to nudge and interact with it.

 

This wasn't a problem pre 24.4.0 (in the mainstream builds; I never tested any Beta versions). It's still broken in 24.4.1

 

I have no third party plugins.

Windows 11, fully up to date

This issue should now be fixed in 24.6 beta build 009.

The fix for this issue is now in 24.5 (recently released)

I'm finding I still can't nudge in 25.2.2 build 2. I looked in the keyboard shortcuts to see if I could set it, but nudge wasn't an option to set up.

I don't think it's called "nudge" in the keyboard shorts dialog ... try "move" instead.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

It seems to have been fixed in 24.5.0 (build 57)

Yes, it's fixed in the beta  24.6.0 build 26. It's still happening on 24.4.1, you must deselect the dragged clip and click it again, to nudge.

Ok, yeah I think it's definitely related to multicam.  I also recently updated Windows 11 if that helps solve this.

Maybe related to sequences with multi-cam?  You can see how the selections jumps to the video track above. Weird

still happening to me as well.  On 24.4.1 Build 2.  Sometimes the clips won't move at all, or sometimes they get deselected suddenly after I nudge a clip one frame.  So I get one action in before it deselects.

Per the link I shared above, it's been acknowledged as a bug by Adobe and should be corrected in the 2024.6 release later this summer.  It's allegedly already fixed in the 24.6 beta if you like to roll that way.

If you selcet a clip on the timeline and nudge it using one of the nudge commands, nudge left / right, or nudge 5 frames left/right, it works as expected. 

 

However...

 

If you select a clip, drag it over in the timeline with your mouse, THEN nudge... nudge suddenly does nothing.

Hi Trent,

 

Is there a release guesstimate for 24.6?
