Downgrading Premiere Pro (temporarily)

[PS2000]

Since a recent update the timeline zoom behavior has changed so when scrolling to zoom on the time line, it seems to reset the zoom levels before completing zooming out when scrolling down with the mouse wheel.

Using - Windows 10 very latest version of Premiere Pro

I assume this is a bug, as it hasn't behaved like this at any time in the last 4 years.

Is there anyway I can downgrade to a previous version of Premiere?

Also the Creative cloud app is completely unusable after a recent update, so I can't use that in doing the downgrade...

Just to clarify I want to downgrade to a previous version of the current release of Premiere Pro, not going back to last years release

You may need to reinstall the Creative Cloud app, as that's the only way to install the CC apps.

The CC app is completely unusable - how do I get the old version of that back?  The new user interface on the CC app is completely unusable.

I have no idea what you are experiencing. Details please  ...

Its like the UI has been replaced with a photograph of the UI.  literally nothing works.  Completely unusable.  Can't really be more precise.  Its like the project was given to a 7 year old to complete.  Its possible to minimize the window, maximize it and that really is about all, other than opening and closing.  Literally nothing works anymore.

That's a lot of unusable stuff, that's unusual! 🙂

You should get used to using them... the zoom is here to stay, and so is the Creative Cloud app. That's how you install Adobe software, and you can check out the Premiere Beta forum to see the latest things coming out and the discussions there, which you can upvote, etc.

Run the Adobe Cleaner after you uninstall the programs and before you re-install them:
Also, reboot your computer between steps even if you are not asked to...

There is a known bug for zooming in on the timeline with the scroll button.

This has been fixed in the beta.

You must (re)install CC desktop app to install previous version(s).

Thanks, will try a reinstall.  Do you know how far back I need to go with the reinstall to escape the bug... any further info on it?

I think one, but I am not sure.

The new UI is here to stay, so at some point you will have to upgrade.

I've marked this as the correct answer.  It took a lot of work arounds to get a solution, but got there in the end!
