in premiere pro cc 2014 you can zoom in on a timeline/ sequence by pressing alt and scrolling with a scroll wheel and it zooms in exactly where your mouse pointer is.

but in premiere pro cc 2015 it just zooms in on a random spot not where the coursor is.

does anyone have similar problems with premiere 2015?

PS: I am on windows 10

Ferdinand83​ I have a fix for this.

There is a problem with the way a lot of the Adobe apps behave when scaling for high DPI displays in Windows. Some people have proposed changing the Windows display scaling to 100% instead of the default 200%. Yes, that solves it but makes windows basically unusable because everything is tiny.

Here's the fix I found, though. Navigate to the .exe file for Premiere Pro in your Program Files/Adobe folder. Right click on it and choose properties. Then click the "Compatibility" tab and then the checkmark box for "Override high DPI scaling..." and in the dropdown menu set it to "System."

(Side note: I had a different problem with scaling in After Effects and in that case I had to set it to "Application" instead of "System" to fix it. Try the other options if one doesn't work.)

Once I did that, the timeline zooming worked like it used to on my old computer.

Hi,

I also have the same problem and it's driving me crazy.

I have PremierePro v9.2.0 on a Windows 10.

Hope someone has a fix for this.

Hi,

So far, there is no such issue reported and I am also not able to replicate this at my end.

It's working in Premiere Pro CC2015.2 exactly in the same way, like it used to work in Premiere Pro CC2014.

I would suggest you to try it in a new project and check, if it is specific to one project.

thanks,

Hi,

I'm using PremierePro CC v9.2.0 on Windows 10 and I have the same issue as namzakris. Whenever I use the mouse wheel to zoom in, it just zooms to a random place. Meanwhile PremierePro CC on my iMac at work handles it as expected, i.e. zooming in on the mouse cursor.

Is there any way to fix this? It is really hampering my workflow. Thanks a lot in advance.

PS: And no, creating a new project doesn't solve the issue, I tried that.
