Question

Scrubbing is now sizing in Adobe Premiere

I'm using an older mac, 2018 with a trackpad, and running Premiere Pro. It seems the latest update made it so that when I try to scrub through footage with my trackpad, it sizes the video in the viewer instead. I'd love to know how to change this setting back to the way it was as it is costing me a ton of time having to grab the scroll bar at the bottom of the window when I'm trying to scrub footage.

    I am still hoping to find the answer to this. It completely disrupts my editing process as I used to scrub frame by frame in videos.

    Just to be sure, you're talking about on the Program monitor.

     

    Have you placed your mouse cursor over the Program monitor's timeline? If directly over the timeline of the Program monitor it will scrub the timeline.

     

    It would be nice to toggle between size and scrub.

    If I understand the problem correctly I just encountered the same, that when you scrub through the timeline objects or videos change the size during scrubbing and then returns to the size you set? If so, go to your timeline display settings and uncheck "Composite preview during trim"

     

    Hope this helps!

    I don't think you understood the problem. Previously, When you hover your mouse over at the preview timeline and scroll your mouse, it actually scrubs through your actual timeline whether it's forward or backwards. But in the recent update, they suddenly changed the way it works, and if I hover my mouse and did the same scrolling with my mouse, it doesn't scrub my timeline anymore, it resizes the preview zooming in and out

    I should also mention that I've turned on "hover scrub" (shift+H) selected when this happens. I believe that's suppose to allow me to scrub with my trackpad as it has in the past. I've restarted my computer and have the same result.

    Not sure how to work this with a trackpad ... with a mouse, if the cursor is over the image section of the screen, you are sizing with any movement. If the cursor is over the lower controls area, you are scrubbing the timeline.

     

    So where is your cursor when doing this? Again, not sure how this plays out with a trackpad.

    Doesn't seem to matter where it is placed. I've tried on the timeline as well as the viewer, same result, it just resizes the image instead of scrubbing. BTW, this is something I've done for years without issue, and it saves me a bunch of time, which is why I miss it so much. This just started after the latest version of Premiere was dropped. It was working previously.
