The properties of the video on the Timeline are missing

Where did the PROPERTIES item in Adobe Premiere BETA go?

Ah, the screen shot helps a lot! You are running a released version, 24.5.x. Our fix for the bug only went into the beta versions 24.6.40 or greater. So yes, unfortunately our mistaken removal is affecting the released version and cannot be easily fixed. Choices are:

1. try it with Pr Beta build x40 or greater

2. or, in the 24.5 build, select your clip in the Project panel. This is probably not a good work-around, but at least it will tell us if this is the problem. Any selection in the Project panel will still enable the "Selection" option, but selections in the Timeline do not.

Looks like you could 1) select clip in the Timeline, 2) context click and "Reveal in Project", 3) now select File > Get Media File Properties for Selection…" (or set up and use a keyboard shortcut).

Thank you for kind and thoughtfult reply, I appreciate.

Yes, selecting clip from projectg panel allows clip properties to show up - I am ok with it now I know how to access!

Have an awesome day!

@AXFX,

@lslater explained the workaround and mentioned keyboard shortcuts. I described the shortcuts option in a post above:

Removing 'Properties' from the right click menu has to be up there with one of the most ridiculous things the premiere team have done. Why?!

Summary/update on the current status. I was posting to another thread, and realized that just pointing to this thread could be confusing. This is in the Beta forum, but it is the best thread for users seeing this in 24.4.1 and 24.5.0.

The removal of Properties when you right-click a selection in the Timeline was intentional. And its name was changed to Media File Properties. The removal of the keyboard shortcut to do the same thing was not, and has already been fixed in Beta 24.6.0.40 or later.

@Mike-Berry explains this is an intentional change:

@Trent Happel updates us that the keyboard shortcut to show Media File Properties from a selection in the timeline again works in the Beta version beginning with 24.6.0.40 - which means it will be in a future release version:

And he gives a workaround to close multiple Media File Properties windows: "A possible workaround is to go to Window menu > Workspaces > Reset to Saved Layout. Just make sure you did not save your Workspace with the Properties panels open.":

In Release versions 24.4.1 and 24.5.0, there is no keyboard shortcut to open the Media File Properties from the timeline. A workaround is to assign a keyboard shortcut to "Reveal in Project" (e.g. Ctrl+J). Then, select the clip you want in the timeline, Ctrl+J (selects the clip in the Project Panel), then Ctrl+Shft+H (the already assigned shortcut for "Get Media Properties Selection").
