Whats up with Premiere EFFECT CONTROL WINDOW?

Dear Adobe and Adobe community. I jsut don't get it. Version 2022 is out and the thing I've most hated in Premire Pro is STILL there. Is it OK with everyone? Do you all agree it needn.t be fixed? Or am I the only one who goes ultimately mad everytime I try working in Premiere Pro with keyframes?

Ok, the emotional part is over.

2 problems:

1) the effect control scrollbar does not cjage scale until I move it near the centre and keeps stucking at some point until I move it again.

2) there is no hotkey to keep the keyframe graph point on the same level when moving it. In the absence of normal graph scaling working with premiere becomes a torture.

An illustration of all I wrote above is in this video: https://disk.yandex.ru/i/sMifRLxT-zaXxA

Correct answer Ann Bens

If you want to use the horizontal scroll bar: uncheck Pin to Clip.

And I filed the bug report on the Public Beta page ... probably will on UserVoice also.

 

ECP velocity/speed graphs display broken in shipping build

Edit: for the graph to fit turn ON toggle automatic range rescaling.

Wow ... I'm able to resize the various sections of the graph by hovering over the faint line until I get the split arrow, and increase/decrease the height.

 

And I have no problem changing the length/scale of the bottom viewing slider.

 

BUT!!!!!

 

The velocity  graphs are completely busted! Look at this image ... as soon as I started setting the splines 'out' a bit, the velocity graph went 900 miles high! You can't see the ends of the scale where the splines are, no matter how high you make that section.

 

MASSIVE buggy behavior here, and thanks for calling out some issues!

Sorry about this, Андрей5E17.

I see your issues, and I am so sorry. Thanks a lot for your video. I made a quick effects-drive test project with a lot of keyframes to test out your findings.

The behavior you show at the start of the video I am not experiencing. You may have a corrupt project in this regard. Can you try a new project and experiment with a small test project? How do the keyframes and the graph react now?

 

One problem you pointed out I am also experiencing is the lack of the ability to expand the keyframe graph. I can't do this either.

 

In the documentation, it says:
To better view a graph, hover the Selection or Pen tool over the boundary line below a graph. When the pointer turns into a segment pointer, drag to increase the height of the graph area.

 

This seems broken. What do you think, community colleagues?

 

Thanks,
Kevin

One thing ... I don't know why you're trying to change the height of a section in the graph window itself, there's no 'line' out there to grab. To do that, you use the left section, hover over the thin line between sections.
