I'm encountering an issue with Premiere that just came out of nowhere today, in the middle of a work session. Suddenly, every clip I copy and paste into my sequences defaults to the V1 track, regardless of the track I have targeted or highlighted. I need to paste clips to say, V8, but they're all going to V1. Oddly, when I use the "Insert" or "Overwrite" functions from the Source Monitor, the clip is placed into the correct / selected track as expected. It's only the copy and paste function that isn't working properly.
Also usually the entire track highlights / becomes active, giving a lighter color to everything across the entire track I've selected, this isn't happening at all.
I've attempted various troubleshooting methods such as resetting the software preferences, trying the steps in a different project, and even restarting Premiere Pro (and my software is up to date). Unfortunately, none of these have resolved the issue.
Dunno how much of this info anyone would need in order to assist, but I'm using Premiere Pro 23.4.0 (Build 56) on a Macbook Pro w/ 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 running MacOS Monterey 12.6.3.
I appreciate any guidance or advice you could provide to help resolve!
