Auto Select Clip with playhead

Hopefully this will be an easy query to answer.

I would like to have premiere auto select a clip on the timeline via the playhead position.

Eg: if I'm using the up & down arrows to go to next and previouse edit, I want the clips to auto select when the playhead jumps to the next clip.

I'm in the process of coming over from Avid but i really miss this behaviour in Premiere.

Can Someone help me out?

    Thank you for following up your own question, I struggled to find where this option was too.

    Found this thread because I am trying to do the exact opposite. The playhead seems to auto select the clip it is over and it is annoying the crap out of me!

      The Sequence > Selection Follows Playhead is great but the one thing that tripped me up was making sure that the video tracks that I wanted to select were turned on.

      This is a new feature to Premiere Pro CC 2015. This didn't exist for the OP in 2012 with CS6. I marked it correct for the current CC 2015 behavior. I hope that's OK.

      Thanks,

        I'm experiencing the same issue...I have no idea how this function became enabled, but I need to turn it off. I've tried hitting F8 and clips are still being selected at playhead. Can you please advise? Help appreciated, thanks. - G

          Can't be done.  Selecting requires a click.

              F8: that was EXACTLY what I was looking for coming to this thread. THANK YOU. I found it annoying how the new APP15 was selecting clips at the playhead. Feature disabled. Thanks!
