Question

Premiere Pro not reacting to most clicks

Hi, I have been using Premiere Pro for 2-3 months now and have created several videos with no issues. Since yesterday, however, Premiere Pro does not respond to clicks in the timeline or in the menu. The main menu works fine and some other features can also be clicked on, but the timeline does not react to my clicks any more. It is no longer possible to work with the program. Importantly, if I open older projects they work just fine. If start a brand new project, it works fine at the beginning and after a few edits the same problem occurs. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

After looking at discussion pages on here and tying out a few different solutions, this seemed to work for me:

 

 Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout

 

Did it in the morning and used it all day with no issue anymore.

Same problem here. 2024 version... I was hoping to find a solution, but sadly its still open 😄 You can temporary solve it by unfcous the window (switching windows) and then go back into PP. That works for me, but it's annoying. Because when you are in the flow and then it again reacts on nothing its annoying... Hope this works for you and also hope someone finds a solution or Adobe brings an update for this

Thanks, Ann. Interestingly, when I reset all preferences, the project works just fine in the beginning, but as soon as I make a few clicks and changes, the problem reoccurs. Very odd.

Adobe seems to have adapted a "let's kill the careers of the Indie content creators" with this new 2022 release. They singlehandedly destroyed everything we've built for our channel, and with all of the issues, we can't even get a new episode out anymore. I've been on the phone for over an hour with a Sr Tech Support and still nothing works. I upgraded to a brand new M1 pro machine. If the color works, the sound won't. If the sound works, then the color won't. It's a nightmare. The losses for our company financially and emotionally have been devastating.
