Can I change the scrubbing speed of the scroll wheel in PP?

[dev_willis]

I often use the scroll wheel to scrub clips back and forth in the program monitor. The trouble is that, if I scroll too fast, it stops scrubbing sequentially and jumps over large sections of video. I never want this to happen. I want it to scrub sequentially as fast as it can without ever skipping any frames. When it makes those jumps it's always confusing and it takes a minute to get back to where I was. I haven't been able to find any settings that control this though. Is it possible to fix this or will I forever have to be delicate with my scrolling?

Thanks!

You should be able to adjust scrolling behavior in you mouse software or in Windows.

No, this is a Premiere function. I guess my title wasn't very clear but the post itself I thought was. I don't want the scroll wheel to do something different than normal. I want Premiere to not scrub so fast that it jumps large sections of footage when I scroll.

Change the scroll setting to a slower scroll.

Premiere's program monitor is not affected by the system's scroll speed settings. This is something specific to Premiere.

I see what you are talking about. I'm surprised you can get that to jump using the scroll wheel. I have a 'scroll point' mouse which does do that if I crank it down or up. I can only get to happen over the program monitor, it doesn't do it over the timeline?

[dev_willis]

Yeah, it only happens over the program monitor. The vertical scroll wheel does nothing over the timeline. Only the horizontal scroll wheel works on the timeline (for me at least).

Hmmm... I just tried something and it seems to works well. I can scroll with my scrollpoint up/down over the program monitor and it jumps like we've said. However, if I scroll sideways over either PM or timeline it will scrub either way without jumping clips. It goes to a moderatly fast scrub. So you might want to see if that works for you. I played with the Timeline mouse preferences also, but it didn't change the above. I think these are the default settings buy you might want to check them.

Nice find! The sideways scroll does work better. Thanks!

Hwo did you get to that dialog screen?

[MyerPj]

That's Preferences/Timeline. 

I've left mine on Vertical since that post, and I'm liking it more and more. 🙂

Thank you

Hi there, I just wanted to add that you can use the SHIFT key to give your scrubbing a boost, but so far I still have not seen a feature added that will help directly control what you're looking for. Cheers!

PS: I'm jealous because my mouse scroll button does not rock side to side!
