Playhead glitch (bug/request)

Hi! I'm writing here, because from a long time there's this very annoying bug in Premiere that is so basic, but hasn't been fixed for a really long time. It's very intuitive to change the position of the playhead and want it to play from that position. But when the playhead is off the screen it jumps to it's own position and not to the the chosen position. I'm attaching a video of the issue as it's better to showcase that rather than talk through text. Hope you guys could fix this. I think a lot of people would benefit from this. Thanks!

Hi Piotr,

Thanks for taking the time to make the video. I think I know what you want to do. There is a somewhat new feature I want you to try, and that is Move Playhead to Cursor in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box. Does that do what you want it to? Let me know if it does. If not, perhaps you can file this as a feature request. 

 

Either way, please tell me if it works for you.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,

 

What you've suggested may be a workaround, but what OP has describe is unexpected behaviour. If you watch around 1min in his video, it becomes very clear. If you are not playing and you click on a point in the timeline, your cursor jumps to the precise point you've clicked on. If you are playing and you click on a point in the timeline, the cursor jumps to the point in the timeline that will be displayed after playback is stopped, not the point that is currently displayed.

I think it's pretty clear that the expected behaviour (and desired behaviour) would be to update the cursor postion based on what a user can see - not what a user might see later. This is the way the cursor works when not playing.

 

Bonus question: is the expected behaviour for clicking on a position in the timeline documented anywhere?

 

R.

Hi Kevin, thanks for the tip about the feature! It is helpful, I did program it into AutoHotKey to trigger it with simply left mouse click. It may be even better than what I requested, although let's not get too hyped 😄 I'll see how it works in my future edits. Btw I thought I posted this as a feature request, do you think you could move it there, so I don't have to repost it?

Yes, that's exactly the point. I see the issue I've described as a bug. It's an unexpected behavior as you've said and if we're trying to make people's workflow faster, which I hope we do - this should be gone anyways.

Glad to! I think the buttons to create a new idea are broken. I'll file a bug ASAP. If you file any others, PM me and I'll move it too.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks for isolating Piotr's issue, Remote Index. That will help the devs immensely. Let's upvote. I already did. Have a great weekend!

Alright, thanks Kevin! I'd like to add to that one thing to clarify. There are 2 issues on the video. The second one is the main one

Hi Kevin, I see you transfered this topic into the "ideas" tab. That's not an idea though, this is a bug/problem and should be treated like one, not as some random idea that you will never consider. So please move if you can, thank you.
