When I used to hover my mouse over the program window and scroll, it would go through the video one frame at a time for ever scroll wheel tick. Now when I do that it changes the zoom level. This is super annoying because it makes presise timeline actions much more time consuming.
When I opened premiere today a bunch of my settings were messed up. I managed to fix all the other issues, but I cant seem to figure out how to fix this. Anyone have any ideas?
I think I understand your message. I aim my Selection tool to the Time Ruler and then scroll. There you can scrub the way you used to. If you would like to have a way to lock the resolution of the Program Monitor, that would be a feature request. If you make it, I'll surely upvote! Sorry for the frustration.
Thanks, Kevin

Thank you that works. Im not sure why it just changed all the sudden. I always used to be able to just put my mouse on the video and scroll. Very strange.
This is a new feature in 24.4, the wheel is used now to zoom in - out instead of scrolling time, you have to hover over the time ruler for the old behavior as Kevin said.
Thanks for the question. It's a good one. It sounds like you want an option to revert the behavior, bypassing this new feature. I can understand why. I guess you're an experienced editor and are used to how things worked in past versions. You can undoubtedly create a feature request for that. Reply with the URL to your request, and I'll certainly upvote.
Take Care,

let us choose to either zoom source/program monitor with mouse scroll or alt+scroll or just jog/shuttle whith mouse scroll when the mouse is over the video or playhead section. Also in the timeline i can't anymore jog the video when mouse scroll this is ultra annoying
I agree this is incredibly frustrating. Why do Adobe do this? This feature is absolute gold dust when it comes to keyframing and motion tracking. This is exactly why we are considering switching to DaVinci instead because of odd changes that make no sense.
This is so annoying. I can somewhat see how this could be more intuitive for new users, but for people who have been working with PP for years this is insanity. Instead of giving us the option, they just arbitrarily change things and now I have to readjust my entire workflow when keyframing. Thanks, Adobe, real classy.
I agree, the new zoom preview feature is useless for productivity, now i have to press multiple keys to preview frame by frame, at least let us change back to the original option.
I fully agree. this change is terribly annoying when it comes to motion tracking frame by frame. Completely sets me off, that this change was being forced upon without any possibility to change the setting!
I understand we 'could' hover the mouse over the program monitor scroll timeline, but that extra bit of having to 'work' on aiming right is time consuming over the long run. There's two ideas:
1. Make the zoom an optional setting, so we can have what we want back. 2. Allow us to change the behavior of the timeline itself, where we could scroll while hovering over the timeline and it would behave as we want. Personally I think it would be super cool is the scrolling the timeline itself vs scrolling the playhead was a feature acting like this - if you scroll in the Video layer section, it scrolls the playhead. If you scroll in the Audio layer section, it scrolls the timeline as usual. I think that would be epic and save us a ton of time.
Adobe give us the option. This change has caused hours of research to even figure out how and why this happened and figure out a work-around. This is NUTS
We appreciate your feedback! The new Scroll to Zoom behavior was added to ease the process of doing detailed title editing, motion graphics keyframing, and image examination when troubleshooting for artifacts and other visual issues.
Based on early positive feedback, we felt comfortable introducing this new behavior as the original scroll-to-jog behavior remains available in the area above the scrub bar at the bottom of the Program Monitor. In the process, this enables two behaviors without needing to obscure either functionality behind keyboard modifiers.
We understand that changing existing UI can be frustrating, but encourage you to try using the new scroll-to-jog target area (highlighted in red in the image below), to see if it's able to meet your needs.
These features will continue to evolve as we have more plans for refining these sorts of in-monitor behaviors, so we value your opinion and look forward to hearing what you think after continued use. In the meantime, if there's a specific workflow you'd like to share with us, it would be valuable to get more information about how you've used scroll-to-jog in the past.
It's a fair concept - scroll on the monitor itself and it zooms and scroll on the scrub bar and it scrubs.
The problem is, the amount of time editors are spending doing the required 'zoom in' work vs just straight cutting and scrolling, is minimal in my observation. As a result, I'm going to guess based on my workflow and my teams workflow, that we use the zoom feature less than 4% of the time. The other 96% requires the scroll behavior to be on the monitor as it was before the update.
Now, yes the behavior is still there on the scrub portion, but the problem is it's such a small space to put your mouse - and the extra time / focus it takes to accurately put our mouse there is already costing us a 1 hours a day with a team of 4. That's 15 minutes of time added to a shift that a customer has to pay for - why ? Because slamming our mouse over the program monitor for the scroll function was so much EASIER because it was so MUCH BIGGER.
Again, I see 2 options.
1. Either revert it or make a checkbox on the program monitor that enables the zoom function or disables it and enables the scroll function. Easy.
2. Make it so that if we move our mouse to the Video Layers part of the timeline itself, it scrolls as it used to in the program monitor. Make it so that if we move our mouse in to the Audio part of the timeline itself, it scrolls the timeline window as it already does.
This would massively cut down on mouse movement and save time. Again, what you guys implemented is a cool idea, but it's just not used enough on a daily 8 hour shift to make it more cool than what it was before. This would be so much cooler to just have a Zoom/Scroll toggle on the monitor window so we can choose the behavior we want, WHEN we want it. 2.
