Adobe Premiere Pro 2018 - Resizing Timeline Layers Shortcut

  • December 3, 2017

I recently updated to Premiere CC 2018 because 2017 was getting pretty slow and buggy.  I discovered quickly that in order to expand and shrink layers in the timeline, you need to hold Alt (or Option) + scroll with your mouse in order to do this.  It's not a huge deal, but I loved just being to quickly hover over a layer in the timeline and scroll on my mouse to be able to expand or shrink it.  Anyone know if you can change this shortcut somewhere? I didn't see it in the keyboard shortcut window...

Thanks!

I don't believe this behavior can be changed.  It's unfortunate.  The previous behavior didn't cause any problems and wasn't in need of a 'solution'.

This has literally been causing me anxiety since I updated. I don't get why they mess with stuff like this. It's an obvious thing that most of us are using all the time.

Actually, Jim. A lot of people were accidentally expanding tracks when they did not want to. Another case of engineering changing something that you don't like, but for others, it caused major pain points. They would not have changed it had they not seen numerous bug reports, etc. Sorry if this one is one you don't care for. Let the guys know if you like.

Thanks,
Kevin

But why not just add an option to change it then?
