Trying to create a shape, but only getting a tiny dot

[Johnny5E76]

Premiere Pro Version 25.2.0 BETA (Build 115)

Mac OS Sequoia 15.3.2

When using the Rectangle, Ellipse or Polygon tool, the shape created is just a small dot.

I used to work fine. Now it doesn't. Please fix it.

@Johnny5E76,

You're on a now older version of the PR Beta.

Just FYI, as of this morning, the Beta version is 25.3.0 Build 25. Any fix would go into a version after this. And we don't actually know that it has not already been fixed.

I did not see this problem when doing some tests a few days ago.

I just checked and according to the Creativecloud app my PP is up to date, with Premiere Pro Version 25.2.0 BETA (Build 115).

Do you know of any reason why I am not being offered the more recent version you mention (25.3.0)?

[MyerPj]

That's not the current one. 25.3.0 b25 is the current beta.

That was a problem, fixed in a later beta.

BTW: I believe I discovered later, that the dot can be expanded to the shape you wanted. Really hard to see.

[Johnny5E76]

Yes, but it's the latest beta I'm being offered by Creative Cloud. Any idea why I'm not getting the latest one? Or when/how I might get it? Is it because I'm in the UK, maybe? I tried expanding the dot by increasing the scale but that didn't work. At the moment I'm having to go into old projects and find things I've used a shape on, and paste them onto the new project.

@Johnny5E76,

That is odd.

I would try logging out and back in to the Creative Cloud Desktop. Or reintalling it.

If no joy, ask here:

That's a strange one, getting only and older version (25.2) of the beta. Log out-reboot-log in, Uninstall / reinstall.

As a last resort, Run the Adobe Cleaner after you uninstall the program and before you re-install it:
Also, reboot your computer between steps even if you are not asked to...

I've discovered CC wasn't seening the version of PP that's installed on my mac - even after repairing and then reinstalling CC. So I've just installed the latest one from CC and dragged the old app file into the bin. Might not be a perfect solution but it seems to work ok now.
