Can't see selected clip in timeline

Hi all,

 

Have this weird issue since moving to a MacBook from a PC. When I'm zoomed into the timeline, I can't see which clip I've selected (i.e. the white lines around the clip don't appear).

 

Never had this issue on PC before. Any ideas of settings I should tweak on my MacBook and/or Premiere Pro?


See attached video.

 

Thanks,
Simon

Specs:

  • Adobe Premiere Pro (up-to-date)
  • MacBook Pro M4 Pro, Sequoia 15.3.1, 48Gb RAM

You're just going to have to do better with this: 

  • Adobe Premiere Pro (up-to-date)

Info needed for a bug / tech support

Just glance at the HELP/About... screen, right there at the top.

I just tried what you seem to have done. Tracks minimized (from the Timeline Wrench menu) and then expand the width of the timeline, and I'm able to see the highlighted tracks.

That's in PP 25.2 (updated this week) and Win11-23H2

 

First give us the exact version, and then with the other info, steps to duplicate your issue.

And for some reason, this only happens with long clips. If I cut a clip in 2, then I can actually see the white lines around my clip when I select it, even when I'm zoomed in.

Check your System Settings > Displays and make sure your resolution is set to the Default or a recommended setting. Using a non-standard resolution or scaling option can sometimes cause unusual behavior in Premiere Pro’s interface, including display issues in the Timeline panel.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the recommendation - but my display is already set to Default.
