We’re excited to introduce some powerful improvements in zoom and pan behaviors in the Program and Source monitors with Adobe Premiere Pro Beta 25.2 (Build 104). Here’s an overview of what’s new and improved:
Overview of New Features:
- Pan with Scroll, Zoom with Modifier
- Scrolling on any input device will now perform panning.
- Scrolling with a modifier key will trigger zooming.
- New Global Shortcuts
- ‘Zoom to Fit’ and ‘Zoom to 100%’ are now available as global shortcuts for both Program and Source monitors.
- Improved Trackpad support
- Pinching in or out on trackpad will continue to perform zooming.
- Two finger swipe (scroll) will perform pan.
Key Details:
Please refer the following table to refer what actions on which devices perform what functions:
For panning, you can also continue to use Hand Tool and/or Scroll Bars as earlier.
Additionally, ‘Zoom to Fit’ and ‘Zoom to 100%’ commands are now accessible in the Global Shortcuts window, but you’ll need to manually assign them for now. The default assignments will be available when the feature goes live in GA. Both the shortcuts are available both in Program and Source monitor.
Btw the default assignment of the shortcuts when the feature goes live in GA will be as follows:
Btw for now, as stated earlier, you’ll need to manually assign them.
There are couple of known bugs which we are working on and you will see them getting fixed very soon in upcoming builds (will keep you posted):
- Mouse scroll or trackpad two-finger swipe at the edges of the view monitor is performing zoom instead of pan.
- For Win : Using Alt + Mouse scroll/Trackpad two-finger swipe leads to loss of panel focus. Any action (for e.g. Ctrl + Mouse scroll/Trackpad two-finger swipe) performed immediately after does not work.
Current Workaround – Please bring back the view monitor in focus by performing mouse or trackpad click. Then the actions should start working again.
Feel free to try out these new zoom and pan improvements and let us know what you think! Happy editing!
Updates
Based on the feedback received from the beta community, we’ve made a few changes in the latest Adobe Premiere Pro Beta version 25.3.0.52:
- Scroll to Zoom (Reverted Behavior)
The ‘Pan with Scroll, Zoom with Modifier’ feature has been reverted. Now, scrolling on any input device will perform zoom. - Global Shortcuts Remain
You can still use global shortcuts for Zoom to Fit and Zoom to 100% in both the Program and Source monitors. - Trackpad Gesture Support
On trackpads, a two-finger swipe (scroll) will perform zoom.
We're exploring alternatives to the previous implementation that will improve trackpad support without sacrificing the convenience of the mouse scroll-to-zoom behavior. In the meantime, thanks for all your feedback–keep it coming!
