Set Poster frame has not worked for quite a while now.  I have simple prores proxy files that refuse to stick to the poster frame I want it to stick to in thumnail view.  Can you guys fix this please.  I can't seem to find an answer to this issue, and I don't think this issue has been addressed or fixed in over a year....

I have seemingly solved the can't set poster frame problem for me at least.  I use the freeform format for sequences.  It appears you can't set a poster very well in that view.  I changed to the icon view and the poster frame set as normal.  Hopefully, this will solve the problem for some.  P.S.  going to the icon view does NOT mess up the freeform view.

Same issue on SOME of the clips - some work with setting new poster frame others revert back to first frame as soon as click off them. 

 

Adobe Premiere Pro (Beta) V 25.20 Beta (build 95)

Apple M2 Max

32 GB

Sonoma 14.5

Three displays- Dell U2415 x 2 and HPU28 4K

 

Media is 4k (4096 x 2160) but several different frame rates: 23.976, 24, and 25 FPS - maybe should check if it is only happening on one of those frame rates?

Hi @R.J. Cooper and @ilivedinvegas,

Can you provide the developers with more information? See: How do I write a bug report?

 

So far, we cannot reproduce your issue. More information might help.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

@ilivedinvegas Are you using a keyboard shortcut? What is it assigned to? Does it work if you do a right click > Set Poster Frame? I ask just because I tested on my two Macs just now and both seem to be working. Is it possible something else is also set to that keyboard shortcut on your system?

Both the keyboard shortcut and the right click do not work.

However, I've found that the keyboard shortcut for "Move Poster Frame 10
Frames Forward" does work. So I've been using that in the meantime.

I'm having the same issue on Premiere v24.0. I updagred to 24.4.1 the problem still persists. I'm on Mac 13.4. I've tried in Rosetta and problem still persists.

 

Set Poster Frame will not work on clips, sequences, or Multicam sequences.

 

I hover over the clip in my project window, find a nice frame, and click "Set Poster Frame". Nothing happens-- the poster frame just remains the 1st frame of the clip.

 

I've tried reseting my preferences, reimporting, etc... nothing seems to work.

 

Before this I was cutting on 2022 for the last 2 years and never had this issue.

@R.J. Cooper Which version of Premiere Pro are you using, and what steps are you taking to set the poster frame?
