Question

Premiere Pro: “Change Clip Speed (Fit to Fill)” greyed out — and I’ve checked everything

Hey all — running into a weird Premiere Pro issue and hoping someone’s seen this before.

In the Fit Clip window, the option “Change Clip Speed (Fit to Fill)” is greyed out. I've done this a 100 times so it seems to be a new issue. What’s driving me nuts is that I’ve already checked all the usual causes:

  • It’s a video clip, not a still

  • There is a real gap in the timeline

  • The clip duration does not match the gap

  • The clip has no speed/duration changes or time remapping

  • The clip is not nested

  • I’m using Fit to Fill, not overwrite/insert

  • The clip is long enough to reasonably fill the gap

Despite all that, the option stays disabled.

Things I’ve tried:

  • Removing attributes (nothing to remove)

  • New sequence

  • New project
  • Different clips at same frame rate
  • Copying clip into a fresh project

  • Restarting Premiere

System details (in case it helps):

  • Premiere Pro version: 25.6.4

  • Mac Studio M1 OS: macOS Sequoia 15.3.1

Solved: A full uninstall/reinstall of Premiere Pro fixed it. Should’ve tried that sooner - leaving this here for anyone else who runs into the same issue.
